My mac keeps saying "Update required" at boot time

Hi,
This is really beginning to drive me nuts. Every time I boot my Mac (ok, its not every day I do that, but still) it prompts with two options:
1) Update Required
2) Log on as Guest.
When I click option 1 and enter my password, the system boots and I get the normal grey login screen and can log on using my password.
No updates are available.
I then shut down the mac, and everything repeats itself. I cannot get rid of this "Update required" thing and its a bit annoying that I need to logon twice every time.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks a million in advance.
Details:
MacBook Air mid-2011, Corei7/4Gb RAM/256Gb SSD
OS X Mountain Lion

Hold on a second while I try this out:

my ipod touch 1st gen keeps on saying when i come to download an app it says update required this app requires ios 4.3 please help

Sorry, but there is nothing you can do other than buy a newer iPod. A 1st-generation iPod touch cannot run any version of iOS later than 3.1.3 and hence cannot run any app that requires a newer version.

You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers. The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari. Hope this helps!

Richard,
You have multiple threads on the same issue. Please don't. This results in users responding to the same issue on multiple threads, which I have done without realizing it. I deleted one thread (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1756886) and am locking this thread. Further communication will be in blocked plug in.

If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

Restored iPod to 4.2.1 Previously working apps now say "Update Required: This app requires IOS 4.3"

I recently restored my iPod Touch because e-mail, contacts, and calendar stopped working. Upon restore, I noticed many apps failed to reinstall. Apps like Yelp, Facebook, etc. Roughly 10-15 in total are missing entirely. I can select the app in iTunes and move the icon but the application will not install. If I install the app from the iPod its self, an error comes up saying "Update Required: This app requires IOS 4.3". IOS 4.3 is not available for my iPod.
I don't care if I don't have the latest version on the App store, but I do want the latest version available for my device.
How do I install the latest compatible version from the App store onto my iPod?
(I also have a new iPad. I think that had a part to play in replacing the compatible apps with incompatible ones.)

Ouch. Well that was a terrible tradeoff... lose 15 apps to get 3 working.
We're all getting caught out by that one. Time for some feedback to Apple...

The problem seems to be in the Delegates. I followed the instructions in the above, setting up google calendars as CalDAV and using the calendar ID. But tedious but at least its working until apple get their act together and fix it!

Yahoo Weather app keeps saying update failed.

Hi! On my iPod touch 4G, it keeps saying update failed in the weather app and it hasn't been working for about 3 days. I've restarted my iPod but it still isn't working. What can I do? Please help.
Thanks, I .

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Hi Mike,
I would think (from your original post) that the document was created in Numbers '08. Numbers 3.2.2 will not open a Numbers '08 document. Hence the message to save in Numbers '09. It looks as though your colleague must export to Excel and send you the Excel version.

My Macbook will not start like it normally does, it says update required. What is wrong?

My macbook says "update required" everytime i turn it on. It just shows me a grey screen and then I have to log in with my password. I cannot see my account picture either. What to do? I have recently reset my Macbook.

Back up all data.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sudo fdesetup sync
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

HT4623 I downloaded the update but it not installing it keep saying update is Unavailable at this time

I downloaded the update but it not installing it keep saying update is Unavailable at this time

Backup your device in iTunes first. After backup disconnect the device. On the device for to Setting > General > Update and launch the update there. Make sue you have it plugged into some power. iTunes seems to be having some issues with the update. I have update two iPhones and two iPads this way.
Good luck!!

I cant download hd cinema on my ipad it keeps saying cant dowload at this time and i already Tried changing the date

Hello judychang,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like an item from the iTunes Store can't be downloaded on your iPad.
Try these steps next to resume the download:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
From:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Folio Builder panel in CS6 and CC (says update required) - can't install update (no Admin rights)

Hi. I've been running CS6 and the Folio Builder Panel keeps saying "DPS — A software update is required, go to the Help menu for Updates..." When I go to the Help section there are no updates. I recently moved to CC hoping the problem would fix itself but it hasn't. I downloaded the DPS Package update for both versions of the program — and I tried to install each one. Both give me error messages saying I don't have Admin rights. Adobe's tech support walked me through enabling Admin rights (although I should have had them already) and that didn't work.
Has anyone else had trouble installing the DPS update? I would like to actually use the DPS tools!
Thanks

Hi Bob, I ended up having to uninstall CS6, then reinstall it — then for a separate Folio Builder log in issue, I followed another thread and removed the (Application Support/Adobe) OOBE folder. Functioning smoothly for now! Thanks for your suggestion.

HT4972 I can't update my ipad from my PC. It keeps saying "update server could not be contacted". I've checked my connections and everything is fine. What can I do?

Hello. I've tried to update my iPad, but iTunes keep saying that "update server could not be contacted". My iPad does not have the option of wireless software update. Please, help!

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and/or anti-virus software on the computer. You could also try logging out and back in to your itunes/AppleID account.
