Problems with update sever not responding

Hi,
I've had my mac pro for a few weeks now but when I went to update the software a window just pops up stating "the software update server (10.0.0.86) is not responding". My internet connection (via wireless) is working completely fine I can access the net using safari + Firefox
I have manually updated to OS X 10.6.2 but that still didn't fix the problem?
any help would be great! thanks,
Zane.

Hi,
After self attempts of trying to work the problem out I just rang apple support and had the most helpful guy guide me through fixing it (after a few attempts)
Here's how it was fixed:
-Open finder
-under Macintosh HD, open the library folder then scroll down through the list till you find preferences
-Once inside the preferences folder you need to find a file named: com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Drag that file to your desktop then try to run software update. If it works then just drag the file (com.apple.softwareupdate.plist) from your desktop into the bin (delete it)
Thanks to the WONDERFUL help from the guy at Apple support (Australia) this solution got mine up and running. Thought I would put the instructions up here if anyone else runs into the same problem

  • Problem with sync (Itunes not responding)

    Hi Caroline,
    Unfortunately I don't have the VI that didn't work saved anymore. I noticed that it was the function Current VI's Menubar that was the problem. By replacing it with the same function again the VI started working. I had that function in the VI a long time before it stopped working properly. I must have changed something else in the VI that affected that function. Maybe I changed the run-time menu, or opened a new run-time menu for that VI. I don't remember exactly.
    Best regards

  • Problem with Apple TV not responding

    OK, so I have three Apple TV's, got them about a month ago. They've been working great. Tonight, all of a sudden, the all exhibit the same odd behavior. I turn on my iMac, load iTunes, and they all 3 show up. Then within 5 minutes, they all disappear. If I try to sync one of them before they disappear, I get the message: "The Apple TV <name> is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689." None of my setting have changed at all, I checked my firewall in Leopard and it's set to allow incoming connections (even tried resetting those settings). I've tried rebooting both the iMac, all the Apple TVs, and the Airport Extreme Base Station multiple times, and nothing works. If I try to play a movie on one of them before they disconnect from iTunes, it will play for about 60 seconds before it disconnects from iTunes. I can play YouTube on it after it disconnects from iTunes so I know it's still connected to the network. One is hardwired to the AEBS, two are wireless.) I'm running iTunes 7.6.1.
    Anyone have ANY idea what's causing this or how to fix it??? I'll call Apple tomorrow to see what they say.

    Don't worry you're not the only one to wonder if they've lost the plot. My ATV seems to sync when it wants to not when I want it to. It appears and disappears from the Devices list and I am constantly checking to ensure it can see my wireless network. Even when it is in the Devices list sometimes it will sync, sometimes it will not.
    Signal strength shows as 2/3 out of 5 on the ATV, whereas my laptop shows stronger when I place it adjacent to the ATV, and connects to internet fine. I downloaded the latest ATV software, V2 I believe last night successfully, so it must have been networked OK. I get the port 3XXX message quite frequently but I have the firewall OFF on the iMac so it cannot be this either.
    Currently the ATV is sitting in the devices list but refusing to sync an iPhoto file, and I have run out of logical ideas. I am hoping for a repeat of the 5.2 earthquake (huge for the UK) that occurred last night on the illogical basis that we may have a repeat performance of the thing actually working.
    My router operates dynamic DHCP with the IP address regularly changing, should I provide a fixed static IP address for the ATV?
    Run out of logical ideas, has anyone got any logical or illogical ideas that I might try?

  • Problem with Admin Console not responding

    I had an issue with the adminConsole hanging.
    It stopped responding properly, I could not drill in past "Clusters" to get detail on "servers".
    This happened when a box or an individual "Linux Server" that has multiple WL server nodes running on it, that are part of two clusters in the same domain.
    The WL environment is WL 10.3. We can find no root cause for the box simply crashing. It physically had to be power cycled, and when it came back it came up clean with no issues and has been running fine for a few days with no more issues.
    To paint a picture:
    AdminServer for funkyDoomDomain runs on Linux box called adminBoxOne
    In the funkyDoomDomain there are 4 clusters (chickenCLuster, duckCluster, pigCluster, horseCluster) in each cluster there are 3 nodes
    each node targets a separate box, nodeBoxOne, nodeBoxTwo, and nodeBoxThree.
    So what happened was nodeBoxOne went down, we have monitoring scripts that tell us if there is anything wrong with the box and all it's parts, even the health of the WL nodes, we received zero alerts so we have no root cause, but that is not the point of this post.
    The point, the question is, does anyone have an idea as to why the AdminServer for the funyDoomDomain would stop responding properly.
    A note here is that we have a bunch of t3 python scripts to work with applications and clusters(nodes), these scripts got the same behavior. I could not check the health status of nodes still running on the other two boxes in the domain.

    mmm, it could be CPU, it could be a network-related issue... are you using multicast or unicast?
    can you reproduce the issue?
    if yes, can you run "top" to verify the CPU usage,
    and do a thread dump on the admin server?
    or at that point the box is entirely unresponsive?
    in that case, running a scripts which periodically does a thread dump, and running top to sample every 10 seconds, could help...

    nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

    It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

  • Y510p and problem with Update Nvidia Driver

    Hi everyonei have problem with updating my y510p lenovo laptop nvidia driver ,my current nvidia driver version is 327.62 which i download from lenovo website,Now for better performance in new games like gta v and witcher3 ,i decide to updating nvidia driver,first remove my nvidia graphic driver from add or remove then download nvidia ver 350 from nvidia official web site , which nvidia website confirm it support my graphic card which is Gt755m , then i install new ver and during install i check clean install , after successful install , restart laptop , then there was problem . when i try to open nvidia control panel it wont running and an error showed up and said "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" .i try to open a game , game running in really low fps and i find out game run on hd graphic of my laptop and my nvidia graphic wont run .The only way to repair was i install my last nvidia driver 327.62 and run a system restore .guys what is your suggestion and how i can update my y510p nvidia driver ?Thanks   

    Hi Y510Man,
         The video graphics installation order is important. You need to install the Intel Graphics first, and then do the Nvidia. IIRC you should un-install the Nvidia driver, then re-install (or upgrade) the Intel HD Graphics driver. Reboot, and install the new Nvidia driver.
         I don't know why, but every time I upgraded my Y470 Nvidia driver, I had to use this procedure. First install, or re-install, the Intel driver, then install the Nvidia. You can't just upgrade the Nvidia driver without a re-install of the Intel. I think it has to do with the Optimus setting, and the automatic switching.
        Let us know how it goes.
    Cheers
