No update system

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro (10.5.6), and does not update the system.
Click on "search now" and opens the window where it fills the bar while looking for updates, but is in principle for all eternity.
I've tried to delete the entire contents of directory updates, but does not work.
Any idea?
Hola,
Tengo un MacBook Pro, y no actualiza el sistema.
Pulso en "buscar ahora" y se abre la ventana donde se llena la barra mientras busca actualizaciones, pero se queda en el principio por toda la eternidad.
Ya he probado a borrar todo el contenido del directorio Updates, pero no funciona.
¿Alguna idea?

Delete com.apple.softwareupdate.plist files from /Library/Preferences/ and /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ and run Software Update again. Deleting the Updates items just means that to reinstall any of those update, you'll have to redownload them again.

  • Unable to update system apps after credit card change

    Hi all,
    A store called (no name) an authorized Apple dealer for Thailand installed a new hard drive 1Tb on my Mac book pro (2009).
    Now I am not able to update system app originally installed on my mac like iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand.
    I get the message:
    My question:
    How can I get these system apps back to my mac?
    To explain the problem:
    my original hard drive started to get really slow and after a mavericks update.
    All of a sudden Appstore has stopped working and wouldn't start up.
    I was unable to do updates and also Pages , Numbers and terminal stopped working.
    After googling what the problem could be I have learned that there might be a application causing the problem a third party app I later found out.
    I went to the store and I asked if a upgrade with a new hard drive (1Tb) and memory (8gb) could solve the problem, the said yes and i agreed to do this installation!
    Unfortunately the store just installed the hard drive but was unable to provide me with the memory as agreed so now i have only the 1tb hard drive.
    The system incl. Pages , Numbers and terminal now is working again, not really faster but improved a bit and this also included the startup time, except the items mentioned above. ( iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand)
    By the way:
    I did change my CC as I am in Asia and my old card was running out of date!
    I had a different Apple Id because i had purchased the Mac in Thailand and changed the store and Id to Spain (for CC reasons) but was never a problem if i had updates in the past!
    Thanks for any advice.

    I don't know if it will solve your original problem, but the Vodafone software needs to be reinstalled or removed.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking theCustomize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • I cannot connect to internet after I update system.

  • Update system status in SM13 - where the information is stored?

    Hi,
    Where does SAP store the information about the update system status in SAP.
    I have deactivated in SAPNetweaver trial: "Update deactivated by User" in SM13
    but I don't find any information in tables such as VBHDR, VBMOD.
    May be someone has an ABAP program which already do the job.
    Thanks for any kind of help for a perl hacker drowned in SAP Tables

    Hi Bertigo,
    I am afraid that this info what you have asked for is not stores in any table.
    If the system statuses are static then they can be stored but since u need a live update system monitor which i believe is not present in sap.
    For more clarification on the update monitor pls follow the below link

    I browsed several boards and a huge set of websites but did find anything related.

    At the first time yes, because i'm using an extra raid controller. That's because the environment 'boot-device' has to be set to a value different than 'disk'.
    At the end of the jumpstart installation i have to type 'init 6' for reboot manually and the environment 'boot-device' has its default value. Thats why the server isn't boot and fall back to net boot.

  • Updating system software (again)

    Hi, my my sky box has been updating for the last few hours and I've tried all I can to remedy it, but nothing is working. So far I have- switched the box off and waited 10 mins before switching back on- tried the manual reboot, but can't get off the 'updating system software' screen in order to select Sky services, so it's a bit useless trying that... any ideas? Slowly losing the will to live here....

    I was so glad to read this as I thought it was my fault that the information supplied to me to update, from a Sky expert (!), simply did not work. I do not understand a lot of the technical language used throughout the system, nor should I have to.Whilst LeighA1's suggestion seems fairly straightforward for those for whom it actually works, is it of any benefit for those for whom it does not?My Sky package costs me over £800 pa and it is constantly giving me a problem which is to do with THEIR equipment. They ultimately want ME to PAY to fix their stuff by getting one of their engineers to come out. This is at best rip-off and it is vexing me big-time!!

  • API for inserting/updating system profile option values

    Hi,
    Is there any API that I can use to insert/update system profile option values via PL/SQL?
    Regards,

    Hi Santosh,
    You can think of using the FNDLOAD utility to download the values from one instance and upload to other instance.
    ## Now lets have a look at the profile option using oracle's FNDLOAD
    FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscprof.lct POR_ENABLE_REQ_HEADER_CUST.ldt PROFILE PROFILE_NAME="POR_ENABLE_REQ_HEADER_CUST" APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="ICX"
    ## Note that
    ## POR_ENABLE_REQ_HEADER_CUST is the short name of profile option
    ## We aren't passing the user profile option name in this case. Validate using ...
    ########----->select application_id, PROFILE_OPTION_NAME || '==>' || profile_option_id || '==>' ||
    ########----->USER_PROFILE_OPTION_NAME
    ########----->from FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS_VL
    ########----->where PROFILE_OPTION_NAME like '%' || upper('&profile_option_name') || '%'
    ########----->order by PROFILE_OPTION_NAME

  • [SOLVED] After pacman update, system no longer boots

    Updated pacman packages, and half-way through the upgrade proces fails (it mentions not being able to find package-control).  Upon investigating, I notice no programs are working.  I ls /usr/bin and it is empty!  In a panic, I restart the machine, and it no longer boots up. 
    My boot is on sda3 and /root is sda5.
    When bash starts up, it loads the kernel fine, and then after a second it panics and exclaims: "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg". 
    I load up my trusty Arch livecd and fsck the partitions.  Fsck claims both partitions are clean.  I am able to mount them and examine the file structure: all files look like they are there.  I then try to chroot the mounted partition (sda5, my /root), and get the error that "/bin/bash" is not found, even though it is there in the correct directory.  Not sure what to do now.
    My grub entry, which has always worked fine prior to this:
    legacy_kernel '/linux344-ck' 'acpi_osi=Linux' 'root=/dev/sda5' 'rootfstype=ext4' 'init=/sbin/init' 'pcie_aspm=force' 'acpi_backlight=vendor' 'i915.i915_enable_rc6=1' 'i915.i915_enable_fbc=1' 'i915.lvds_downclock=1' 'ipv6.disable=1' 'i915.semaphores=1' 'modprobe.blacklist=bluetooth,uvcvideo' 'ro'
    legacy_initrd '/initramfs-linux-fallback.img' '/initramfs-linux-fallback.img'
    UPDATE: solved issue.  I didn't read the news.  Upgrading via pacman broke my system because of this.  Now I know!  System is running smooth again.

    Huh. I guess the problem was a couple of stale and crusty {,f}getty .service files, and an obsolete slim.service file I created a while back.
    Removing them fixed my problem, although tty1 still shows boot messages (not a problem, and may not even be "new" behaviour)
