No software updates at all since 2012. Normal ?

Hello,
I am working as IT technician for more than 30 years, but only on MS computers.
I am trying today to give help to a friend, with her MacBook problems.
First problem is that Yahoo! mail new interfaces are not compatible with old Safari version.
But choosing "use old interface" option helps.
However, Yahoo! mail has turned to new interface (probably by a use on another computer), and it is not impossible to use it, as no "click" have effects. Then, it is evene not possible to log out or close a mail, unless closing Safari...
Then, checking the "Software Updates", I got the answer "Your software is up-to-date. You do not need new updates".
But the last update in the list was in 2012
I cannot imagine there were no updates for 3 years
Can you give help about this last question?
Many thanks in advance
Guy

  • HT1600 After playing movie on netflix or purchased through itunes for a while, sound is garbled. people sound like robots. Stops if i retart/restore but,does it again. Software updated,wires all in.

    After playing show purchased through itunes or playing netflix for a approximately 1 hour the sound is garbled. The people speaking soung like robots. I restart/restore and it happens again. Software updated and all connections are fine. What is the problem?? I plan on taking it back...

    Doesn't sound right - if you've unpowered it to restore, and also restored I'd suspect a hardware issue if this gradually develops, perhaps heat related issues.
    If under warranty get it looked at/replaced.

  • Unix command to stop Software updates for all users except admins?

    I want to stop App Store and other software updates for all user accounts. Administrator accounts should still be able to do Software Updates.
    Is there a terminal command that can do that i can push out through ARD?
    Thanks

    Managed preferences are the best bet. You could use Profile Manager or use the mcx command from the command line. I'd strongly suggest browsing over this before delving into MCX though...

    (the Workgroup Manager application shown is deprecated, but it's essentially the same with Profiles and running MCX from the command line)

  • Will the new ipod software update erase all of the music off my ipod??

    will the new ipod software update erase all of the music off my ipod??

    Unless you plan to restore it, if all you are doing is updating the firmware then nothing will be erased from your iPod. Even if it was you just have to reload from iTunes or your back up.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • HT1338 I have not had any software updates in months (Since maybe last summer)... is this normal??

    I have not had any software updates in a long time- is this normal? 

    For Mac OS X 10.5.8, yes. The next step requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; Apple's stopped releasing software compatible with 10.5.8.

  • How to remove the parent-child software update point in sccm 2012 sp1

    I have a CAS , Primary site server(1) and secondary site servers (7). I have software update point installed on CAS, Primary server and Secondary site servers as well.

    Hi,
    >> please suggest me, do I have to do anything special apart from the normal steps to uninstall and reinstall the SUP point on primary site server?
    I just tried to reinstall the SUP on the Primary site(only one SUP on Primary site and there is a SUP on Secondary site). The SUP upstream data source of the Secondary site showed empty and greyed out. But the upstream data source resumed after a while.
    It seems nothing special needs to be done.
    Best Regards,
    Joyce

  • Acrobat fails to open after software update (end of March 2012) in Lion

    When opening a PDF in Acrobat x Pro the programme crashes, ever since I did a software update at the end of March 2012.
    I have also been having problems with emailing PDFs, with emails disappearing or getting corrupted.
    Seems worse if I have Firefox open at the same time.

    Still failing to launch after repairing permissions and restart.
    Part of the report says:
    AcroSecurityBailOutImpl
    It has always opened the file when I try a second or third time, though.
    It's just the first once or twice that it fails.

  • Software Update Java for OSX 2012-2

    Just got this tonight when Apple offered it in a Software Update check.  I got the Java for OSX 2012-1 a couple of days ago.  I can't find any info on what changed.  Anyone else get an explanation?

    If you have Java installed on your system then I would highly recommend you keep it well up-to-date, and apply all the latest updates that are available for it. The latest Flashback malware threats have been using Java vulnerabilities to infect Mac systems with unpatched versions of Java.
    Do keep in mind that it is not very likely you will run across the malware, but there is a chance out there. It has been speculated to have infected ~600,000 systems, and at an estimate of ~150 million Mac systems worldwide that's about 0.004%, or 1 in every 250 systems. This total is just a guestimate on my part.

  • CS 3 worked yesterday - got software updates - now all parts merged into 1 uneditable image

    Hi. I worked on a logo yesterday. This a.m. I got software updates and did it automatically. I don't know what the updates were but I just did it and then the computer restarted. Now all my parts have been merged into one un-editable un-workable image. They are not separate any more. They are not grouped, not compounded, not locked. I do not know what happened. Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can give.

    Try again. I am having a lot of trouble w. the forum trying to get in with my correct user name and password. Too bad there isn't a way that I can delete the connection to my email and start from scratch. Anyway....
    Yes, I am working on the master page, no layers.
    I will try to run Disk Utility and reboot too.
    So far I have also done a page drag and saved it out as an inex.
    Thanks.

  • Software Update Broke All Sound Playback

    I just ran software update last night. Today I turn on my Mac and there is no sound from any applications. It's not the volume sliders, they are all fine (and enabled, not grayed out). There is no red light inside my headphone jack. Pretty much everything seems fine, but there is no sound.
    How can I roll back these system updates? Or fix the problem? This is really lame...

    I just fixed it and here is how I did it.
    I went to Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup
    Open the Audio Devices window if it didn't open automatically. (Window -> Show Audio Window)
    Some application had set my default output of audio to Soundflower (16ch). What I did to fix the issue was to click on Built-in Output, then to click the gear at the bottom of the screen and select:
    "Use this device for sound output"
    and
    "Play alerts and sound effects through this device"
    That worked for me! Hope it helps someone else.

  • Iphone 4s off during software update in recovery mode. Normal?

    My iphone4S crashed during the latest software update.  I tried rebooting.  Now itunes is completing a software update before it can restore.  However, my iPhone is off.  Nothing on the screen no matter what I press.  Is this normal?  I am too afraid to unplug it from the computer.  The software update needs 3 hours. I briefly had the itunes/usb logo but it went away the minute itunes started the download.  Any advice?

    Thank you! Thank you! I was about to spend forever on hold for Apple support to help get me out of airplane mode! I forgot I was in airplane mode when I started updating the phone to 2.1.
    Thanks so much for saving me a needless call!

    Is their any software updates for a I Phone 3. Before you could plug it in, it would sync and upate would come...now nothing??

    Wireless update is only possible with iOS 5 or later.
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.
