Problem with MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1

I've installed the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 on my 17" MacBook Pro. Seems to have fixed any keyboard issues I may have been experiencing. But every time I run software update this particular update wants to be installed again. I've run the install three times and it's still being flagged as being needed.
Anyone else having this problem?
Only thing that I suspect is that it's because I've got my HD formatted as case-sensitive. I've noticed that formatting a drive as case-sensitive will break several popular games.
Can't we standardize on case-sensitive volumes yet, it's the 21st century for crying out loud!

I had the same issue.
How did you figure this out?
I was on the phone for almost two hours (mostly waiting) with support and they simply came up with 'Archive' and 'Store' and 'Rebuild' your system, which quite frankly would not have fixed this issue because I still would have a case-sensitive drive.

  • Problems with Macbook after Software Update

    I haven't updated my Macbook in a long time, so I decided it was time I probably did. Software Update had updates for iTunes, Quicktime, and a 2009-Security Update. Everything seemed to be going okay. After the downloading and installing finished, it said the Security Update couldn't be installed and moved it to the trash. Then it prompted me to restart my computer because the other two installed okay.
    After restart, when my computer started back up, my Macbook is messed up. The doc is missing. I open a finder window, and it shows the main folders, but all the things on the right (where it shows the drive, applications, and such) is missing. I tried to back up my files, but it can't even read there is a blank disc inserted (keeps asking me to insert a blank disc). And it wont let me shut down my computer, or restart it. I click restart, and it seems like it accepts it, but it just doesn't do anything. The dashboard wont show up when you hit F12. This mac is all messed up.
    I don't know what happened here, all I installed was iTunes and Quicktime from the Software Update (security update didn't install), and all this happened. Any idea what happened and how I can fix this?
    I'm using Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There's a variety of things you could try, but first as to why it is doing this. Probably your drive was slightly corrupted. If it was minor you might not have noticed it, but when the updates tried to install, the whole thing compounded and led to a whole bunch of things missing.
    First, try to repair your drive. Boot from the System installer disc that came with your computer or is the one for the version you currently have on there, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
    Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

    +Summary of above from BDaqua+ (couldn't have said it better):
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."
    Report back after you have done this. It may be that you have to use a more powerful utility such as Diskwarrior.
    Once the drive is repaired you can try re-applying the two updates, though often it takes a full archive and install, plus re-application of all updates, to get everything working again.

    Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
    Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
    Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.

    I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
    Repair permissions again afterward.
    It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
    The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
    Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?

  • HELP! Problems with MacBook after software updates install.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a friend of mine that has a MacBook. After a while without doing the software updates she connected her MacBook on the internet and there was a lot of software updates to do, so she went on and install everything. She describes me that the problem was with Tiger 10.4.11, it pop up a "Warning Sign - Error" and freezes she says.
    She re-start the computer and It get stuck on the gray window with the Apple with the lil circle spinning endless.
    Is there any tip or something that I can help her?...
    [Sorry about my english... lol)

    Hello coreanomac!
    The following Apple Support article is good for working through the problem. Based on your explanation of what happened, follow the advice of the "Try a different software update source" and "Installation fails during 'optimization'" paragraphs of the "Troubleshooting an unsuccessful installation" section:
    Mac OS X: Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Also reading the "Before Installing" section may be useful, as well.

    Just wondered if there were any problems with the newest update and Tiger.

    Probably a bit late for this to be helpful to you, but after I installed the update I can't play Civilization 4 anymore.
    And here I was so excited about updated graphics drivers!
    I've contacted Aspyr... I'm sure someone will eventually fix whatever has gone wrong.

  • MacBook Pro Software Update Results in Singlu-User Mode

    Hello,
    Since I have had problems before with Software update, I have decided to install one item at a time to find out which update packages cause problems.
    When I installed the latest "MacBook Pro Software Update", which is strongly recommended, I ended up getting stuck with the single-user mode and now I cannot get out. When I boot, I get a console instead of a Graphical User Interface. I am really tired of Tiger. I have used Linux for the past 9 years and found it to be excellent. I expected much more from Mac OS X when I first bought my system two weeks ago. I already did an "Archive and Reinstall" and I don't want to do it again.
    How can I go back to the usual GUI environment?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    K.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    K.

    Hello,
    Here is the solution to the problem. It is simply due to XCode installation. For some reason, one needs to perform the "MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0" after an "Archive + Install" before installing any other software.
    If Xcode is installed before the update, something gets messed and the computer keeps booting to a Console instead of the GUI.
    Hope this helps to others,

  • MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 continues to appear

    This has been the first really strange issue since I upgraded to Leopard. Ever since the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 in Software Update, it continues to appear as if it was not installed. If I look at my installation log, it shows that I have installed it about 9 times since it was released. Here are the last few entries in my installation log:
    2007-12-21 22:17:05 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)

    2008-01-05 22:32:22 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)
    Is it safe to ignore this update? What is going on? Is there something wrong with my system? I haven't noticed any other problems.. I have no idea how Mac OS X determines if I need an update or not.

    OK, here's what i did:
    1) navigate to the: /Library/Updates sub-directory
    (as in: "Macintosh HD" - "Library" folder - "Updates" folder
    2) there should be a file named, "index.plist" - this is
    the definition file for the update - i suspect this should
    be removed by the Updater once the update is complete.
    3) rename the file (don't delete it) ... i renamed the
    file to, "index.plist.onhold"
    you probably don't have to, but i rebooted the system, to
    ensure nothing broke. afterwards, i did a "Software Update"
    and it reported the system is up to date.

  • MacBook (Pro) Software Update 1.1 stays in the update application

    As of the release of the MacBook (Pro) update to fix some keyboard/mouse issues (I didn't notice any problems) I'm not getting rid of the update in the updater:
    It installs, reboots and pops up again. I've done this process several times now and if you go to
    Preferences -> Softwareupdate -> Installed updates
    it is there twice.
    After the first time the update got installed, the MacBook was not able to reboot. It stuck in the bootup process and I removed power after approx 15 minutes with a black screen.
    After that "forced" reboot, it worked like before - except the broken software update.
    That's what I found in the logs, but I've no idea...
    8<--------------------------
    Dec 25 12:07:48 macbook-pro Software Update[205]: Package Authoring Error: installation-check results requires a message

    Dec 25 12:08:05 macbook-pro Software Update[205]: _choice_suvisible returned error: Undefined value
    Anyone?

    I have those same messages in the install.log.
    My Software Update.log shows this:

    After the first time the update got installed, the MacBook was not able to reboot. It stuck in the bootup process and I removed power after approx 15 minutes with a black screen.
    Well, this is what fubar Software Update.
    If you feel the update was installed properly, Software Update can be set to ignore the update.

  • MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 Refuses to Install

    Ok well I have a very annoying problem. Since the 18th, I've been getting daily notices about the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 thing, and daily I have been saying "OK, go ahead and interrupt what I'm doing, install it and then leave me alone." And then the next day, I get yet another message saying i need to install it.
    Needless to say, this is highly annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm getting the same behavior. I'm not sure but I think this may be related to whether the FIRST time you encounter this update, you opt to restart later rather than right away. Perhaps you can verify whether this was the approach you took as well. In any event, no number of restarts now of my MacBook Pro with 10.5.1 will prevent me from getting yet another message that the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 is waiting to be downloaded and installed.
    I assume Leopard has left largely unchanged the practice of placing a record of updates in its /Library/Receipts directory. If the properties of this directory change, such that it prevents it from being updated, this could lead Apple's "Software Update" utility to think software has never been installed when perhaps it has been installed after all.
    I would consider also that perhaps the SoftwareUpdate.plist file may be questionable. I notice that while almost all other plist files in /Library/Preferences list "root" as the owner, the SoftwareUpdate.plist lists my own user name as the owner.
    I think commands such as chown and chmod may become our best friend where this apparent bug is concerned; but I recognize that all the foregoing speculation on my part is a longshot.
    I welcome the comments of others who encounter this behavior.

  • Motion crashes - Macbook Pro Software update and Firmware update

    Anyone out there that is working with Motion 3.0.1 on one of the new Macbook Pros (Santa Rosa) and has installed both the Macbook Pro Software Update 1.0 and the EFI Firmware update (for the 15 inch models)???
    Motion 3 crashes on the Macbook Pros with the MBP Software update installed (see thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1028746&tstart=45
    The solution so far is to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch EXCEPT the software update 1.0. However, I'm trying to find out if anyone has installed the Firmware update, which requires the software update to be installed first, and if they are running smoothly.
    ???

    I just restarted then tried to open InDesign again and it let me download a java update that seems to have fixed it.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    This, Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70, is the current version of Flash. It should work with Snow Leopard or later.

  • Apple MacBook/Pro Software Update 1.0?

    On versiontracker.com, there is an update called Apple MacBook/Pro Software Update 1.0. The desciption says:
    "This update enables file system journaling on MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers. Some MacBook and MacBook Pro systems were shipped with file system journaling turned off. Journaling is recommended on all Mac computers as a preventative measure against file corruption."
    It is recommended for Mid 2007 MacBooks
    I ran the Software Updater on my MacBook which I bought in June and this update did not come up as needed. Has anyone else installed this? If it does not come up in the Updater, does that mean I don't need it?
    Thom

    Thom you might try going to Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility->click on the name of your HD (probably something like "Macintosh HD" unless you renamed it) in the left had corner and look at the bottom of the window under "Format:" It should read "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" If that's the case then you probably don't need to worry about it.

  • MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1

    I am having the same issue many others are having in regards to the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 installing again, and again, and again, and again, ... Maybe you see the point.
    I have browsed the Discussions, and tried some suggestions, (case sensitive) but it still installs, again and again, and again...
    I am a little worried why Apple has not addressed this. This problem has existed since 12/18/2007. I think we have endured this long enough. If apple is not going to provide help, are there any users out there listening that have spent effort and found a solution.
    I am all Ears!!!
