Never ending software update
Hello,
I bought the Adobe CC about a month ago.
Everyday since nearly 2 weeks my main software (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and Dreamweaver) need update constantly, more than once a day.
Though I'm restarting my Mac everytime the update complete, it keeps on and on.
I need to update Indesign in order to work on the DPS, but the update is never taken into account.
Each time i restart my computer, it starts over from scratch and I haven't been able to work on DPS since then. Which is a probelm.
Is there something I do wrong ?
Is there really so many updates to do (2, 3 each day)?
What is the right way to follow and for the update to be taken into account ?
Thanks for your answer.
Thanks for answering,
Yes, I do have Indesign CS5 still running on my computer, I need it to work wtih some of my parteners who don't have CC installed yet in order to exchange our files more easily.
I want to keep it.
Is there any way to do so without the constant update problem ?
Thanks for answering anyway.

Ahhh...the never-ending HP update is back!
In Mountain Lion on my wife's machine, the App Store constantly says there is an update for HP printers. I install the update and the message persists. I had the same problem a couple of years ago and finally told Software Update to ignore the update.
Is there a way to tell the App Store to ignore the update?
KurtThis is a shot in the dark, but try going to /Library/Receipts and locating any .pkg file that corresponds to this firmware update. Move it out. Then try running Software Update again.

Software Update doesn't open a Finder window
I am helping a friend new to the Mac OS learn to use the "download only" option in Software Update. On my Mac, when the download completes, a new Finder window opens and shows the complete path to the update pkg(s). I have my Finder window preference set for column view.
I recommended that my friend use the "download only" option on 4 recent updates.
On her Mac, the downloads arrived, but a Finder window never opened. As a result, she was in a panic because she had no idea where the downloads went.
It has now been verified that they are indeed in /Library/Packages. But she had no way of knowing to look there.
I am trying to win this new user over to the Mac, and told her how Software Update would simply show her where it put the pkg files, but it truly doesn't happen on her machine.
It is the late 2006 Core 2 Duo iMac, 2.0 GHz (Intel), running 10.4.11, with almost all subsequent updates.
She is a "new user" in the sense that a) she is 78 years old and b) her previous PC ran Windows 95. She has had a very rough 2 years to date with Tiger - I receive a "HELP!" e-mail or phone call every 2-3 days. She looks for Mac Help in Mail, looks for Address Book Help in iPhoto, etc.
Excuse the digression. Any ideas why Software Update refuses to show where the downloads are? Any possible fixes? I know this is a small problem, but it's a significant one for my friend.
ThanksI'm aware of that approach. I personally think its handy to have the update installers all at hand before I do any updates. If an update goes badly, sometimes it can be a good idea to verify the hard drive, repair permissions, and reapply it, at least that's what I've seen recommended many times for problematic updates.
I'm trying to avoid a philosophical discussion, though, of how to do OS X updates (standalone dmg files vs. Software Update, repairing permissions, or not, safe boot, or not etc. etc.) I've seen long, long discussions. I've never used Software Update to do an update on my machine, but that's only my preference. I could be branded a complete Luddite for this.
I was just hoping that someone out there had a quick fix for the "busted" automatic Finder window - that's all I seek. If not, it's not a serious problem, and I'll move on. Just irritating to see it work 100% perfectly on one Mac and not at all on the other.
Thank you for your input. -
Various Software Updates (Intel)" Can't be Installed (verification failed!)
This is essentially a repost of a problem unsolved, but with a new wrinkle:
When I first reported this two months ago, it was just happening on an Intel iMac. Now, someone else in the office just purchased a MacBook Pro, and from the SAME NETWORK, is have the exact same problem!
The process is to run Software Update. Select an update. Downloading begins. But when it gets to the end, Software Update reports:
The update "<whatever the update is named>" Can't be Installed
The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or correupted since being signed by "Apple".
Tried this several times, same message.
So, in the case of the 10.4.8 update, I tried downloading the stand-alone installers (MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg and then MacOSXUpd10-1.4.8Intel.dmg).
Both stand-alone packages downloaded, but got a "verification failed" message in the Safari DOWNLOADS window.
Plenty of hard disk space. Permissions Repaired.
I SUSPECT the problem has something to do with either 1) the NetGear router (which connects to the DSL modem) or the Airport Base Station (which connects to the physical network, which connects to the NetGear Router).
Both Macs (iMac & MacBook Pro) are connected via the AIrport base station.
I'm pretty sure I have a good network connection, because I am able to use Apple Remote Desktop to see into the network and connect to the iMac with no connection errors.
Any ideas from all you gurus out there?I am having the same problems on my wifes iMac. Any large updates just won't come down. Someone had suggested memory problems, but I have done a full hardware check and all is cool. My G5 on the same network get's it's updates OK.
However, when I try to download the combined 10.4.8 update (149Mb) for my wife (via my machine) I still get a verification error! I don't know what to do next. The problems started with the 10.4.8 update, so maybe it's 10.4.7 related? -
HT4623 on my 3G I go to settings, general but there is no software update ? how to update ?
on my 3G I go to settings, general but the is not a "software update " how to update ?
You only needed to ask this one time. The iPhone 3G can only be upgraded to version 4.2.1 which does not have the ability to do an over-the-air update. You will never see software update in settings on that iPhone.

Problem downloading software updates
I have been trying for a couple months, to download the new version (10.4.11) software for my
Mac OS X.
When I try to download it, I receive a error message.
"a networking error has occurred:Error NSURLErrorDomain-1005 (-1005). Make sure you can connect to the internet, then try again"
I just downloaded three other updated today, which I was surprised even worked! but the mac update wont download.
I have called Apple and they walked me through re-booting my computer- that did nothing!
Is there anyone that can let me know what I can do?
I can't even use the new updates that I just downloaded today, because I don't have the "newest" version of my operating system!!
aHHH!!
thanks in advanceI had a similar problem two months ago, but mine was more of a disaster than yours: my computer crashed.
The advice I got from a support/discussion participant was as follows:
1. Repair permissions before and after - which you have done.
2. Never let "software update" do the installation: click "download in background" then do the installation yourself.
3. It's best not even to download from"software update". Note the name of the update, then go to Apple/downloads and proceed to download and install from there.
All of the above were excellent bits of advice. Because I crashed, I was all the way back to OS 10.4.1. So I chose "combo" 10.4.11 (also on the advice of my 'helper'), downloaded and installed myself and everything has been fine since.
PS. I haven't let 'software update' do anything since that experience, except let me know when an update is available.

HT4623 No ios software update notifications
I use to receive ios software update notification badges with ios 6. I no longer receive them with ios 7. I never know software updates are available until someone tells me. Is there a way to enable ios update notifications? I have an iPhone 5 with Verizon.
If you do not connect the device to power and wifi at the same time, then you might not. But if you had power and wifi at the same time, it should have recognized the notification. But if you go open Settings, it should prompt it. There is no setting in Notification Center to set for Software update.

New to Mac: My Pro does sleep, power on or power off consistently or efficiently. It freezes into a never ending spool. I have to press down the power off button to reset. I have updated my software.
If this is a new MacBook Pro, and you're within 90 days of purchasing it from Appe, contact Apple support. In the US it's (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)

When I sign on to Firefox, a "Software Update" pops up and asks if I'd like to update Firefox. I click Yes/Continue and when I do, the page says "Downloading Firefox" - connecting to the update server... - but it never finishes. It continually shows the blue/white striped line.
Start at '''http://www.mozilla.com''' and download the latest
version. At the completion of the download '''don't let the setup
start Firefox for you''', when the setup ends, start Firefox in your
normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
:Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
:On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
:On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
'''Permission errors on Mac:'''
"If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
Firefox version, then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. '''Do not let the uninstall remove remove anything but Firefox itself'''; otherwise, you will lose your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.
If you can't download as mentioned above, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install as seen above

I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!
There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X. -
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.

My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either. This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed. How can I get it going again?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My phone is telling me about a Software Update 7.1.1 but for the first time it is asking me for a passcode, I have never set up a passcode and do not know how to get around this to do the upgrade?
See if this helps:

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.
Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again. -
I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies. I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies. What do I need to do to stop the document printing?
Try resetting the printing system.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.
