Rules Regarding Software Updates

I purchased a MacBook Pro in March this year and have been extremely happy with it. I have also been keeping up with the discussions on this forum concerning 10.5.7 and 10.5.8, and now understand that I need to do three key things when installing software updates: 1) back-up my system; 2) repair permissions before and after each update; and 3) download and install updates one at a time, so that if there is a problem with a multiple update, I have some idea which update caused the problem.
If I've understood this correctly, I now realize that installing updates is a significant investment of time and energy. Before I begin to make this investment, I just want to be clear - are these three steps essential for every single update that appears on my software update program? I have been slow and cautious about updating the MacBook Pro, but I have not had any problems with any so far.
Thanks for your thoughts.

The one thing you should be a little cautious about is firmware updates. If you have a full clone of your system and do a software update and find you have a problem, you can restore from an older image... this is not the case with firmware updates. In general, you can not go back to an older firmware. As a result, if a firmware update causes a problem, you're stuck until a new one is released. It's usually a good idea to wait just a few days after a firmware update is released. You can check out these forums to see what, if any, problems people are reporting and then you can decide if you want to go with the update or not.

Help needed regarding Software Update

Hello,
yesterday I was downloading the OS X 10.6.2 software update (500mb+) and when it finished downloading it said that an error occured and that I had to check my internet connection.
My router was having some problems, so I figured that was it, so I started to download it again, but since it was already late at night, I canceled it and turned my MacBook off.
Today, when I tried to update my OS again and was waiting for the Software Update to "Search new updates" (idk how exactly its written in english, my Mac is in portuguese), it took longer than usual and a message appeared, saying that "The Software Update couldn't connect to the update server", and it also said "Make sure that your computer is connected to the internet and try again".
As I said, my router is kinda weird this days, so I connected my internet cable directly to my MacBook, but the same message keeps appearing.
What could be happening and what can I do?
Thanks in advance,
Pedro

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I won't try to address all the problems you're having, but you should be able to download either version of the 10.6.2 updater directly from the URLs:
- "Single" updater: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL958
- "Combo" updater: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959

WLC HA Configuration - Recommended Precedure for Software Update

Hello,
just some best-practise questions regarding the new HA feature of 7.3 code:
With use of AP-SSO and the hot-standby controller, as I understand during software update on the primary controller the code is copied to the hot-standby controller in the background. In case of any failure (e.g. unsupported configuration or feature) there is no chance to use temporarily an controller running the old software version. Furthermore, with HA I loose the possibility to test a new software feature on an updated secondary controller.
Is this true or is there another possibility to "get some confidence" regarding software updates with HA? Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you,
Benjamin

Well, to sort of answer your question. If your only WLC's you have is the two in HA, then you do loose the functionality of upgrading one and performing some test before you upgrade the other WLC and move aps to it. Some companies I have done work with do have a lab environment with spare WLC's and they can do this. What I would suggest is that you either post in the forum if others have upgraded their HA WLC's and see how long they have had it up and if they have had or seen any issues. Even if you had another WLC and tested with that, testing with another HA pair would be the way I would go about verifying things work okay. You never know if there is an issue with the code that just affects HA and that would be my concern.
Thanks,
Scott

Software Update through UNIX command

Hey all,
Just a quick question regarding Software Update through Remote Desktop.
I'm running the UNIX command softwareupdate -i -a but it hang. I'm guessing it's due to our proxy, and that we have to login to the proxy server in order for the system to continue fetching the updates.
Basically, what I'm asking is if there is a way to bypass this, i.e. a command to follow the systemupdate -i -a command which will log me into the proxy?
Cheers,
Nick

Hi.
I tried the command:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://ip.address.of.server:8088/
softwareupdate -i -a
but all I get back is this:
2011-02-04 12:16:14.482 defaults[874]
Rep argument is not a dictionary
Defaults have not been changed.
/bin/bash: line 2: http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:8088: No such file or directory

Thanks for your help so far. Much appreciated.

HT204380 I have 8 mb of broadband and am unable to use facetime as it loses the connection. The same happens with Viber. This seems to have happened since the last software update. Has anybody else had this problem.Regards, Kevin

I have 8 mbs of broadband but it does not seem to be adequate for using Facetime or Viber. I lose the connection via Facetime every few minutes and Viber doesn't work at all. It always says that the network connection is poor yet it's showing a full signal on the phone. It was a lot better before the last software update. has anybody else had this problem.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Hi,
You could try to initiate Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle action from a problematic client, then check CIAgent.log, StateMessage.log to see if there are any helpful information.

Software Update Issue - In dire need of NERD power...

Attempted to download Mavericks on my 2011 iMac (currently running on OS X 10.6.6)
App Store returned the following error:
We could not complete your purchase.
OS X can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later is required.
Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to update Mac OS X.
Not a problem, I thought. I chose Software Update from my Apple menu to update Mac OS X and began downloading Mac OS X Update Combined (10.6.8 v1.1) which maintained a good and consistent rate of 10 MB/sec download speed...
...only to hang abruptly at 655 MB of 1.09 GB
Roughly 30 seconds later I receive the following error:
The update "Mac OS X Update Combined" can't be saved.
Software Update can't connect to the update server.
Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again.
To be clear, I'm familiar with issues regarding and related to TCP/IP protocols, firewalls, open/blocked ports, etc.
I made sure that I was connected to the Internet, and then tried again.
The download progress stays put at 655 MB of 1.09 GB, then returns same error.
At which point I decided it might be a good idea to delete the partially complete download and start over. An Apple Support article directs me to /Library/Updates where the partially complete package parts are temporarily stored and I move them to the Trash.
Every single time I try starting the download over (due to what I suspected might be an connectivity issue that I somehow missed) it always went the same:
Download starts, coasts as 10 MB/sec, hangs at 655 MB of 1.09 GB, and returns the same error.
I thought it was odd that it would always hang at the exact same spot so I checked the /Library/Updates folder while the download was active. The package is downloaded in parts and it would always freeze after completing part10. For testing purposes, I duplicated the part10 file and renamed it as "part11" to see if the installer would recognize the dummy part--AND IT DOES! The download happily chugs past 655 MB and continues to write part12. Obviously, this did not solve my problem because once the download finished it could not compile the parts due to the real part11 being missing. It did, however, at least reveal what the problem was: the server could not retrieve that one specific file, part11.
Sadly, I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue on my end--if anything, Apple servers are the one with the issue--maybe a corrupted file? All I know is that I've pretty much exhausted all the options in my head and this is my last resort: posting on the Apple Support Communities (not that there's anything wrong with posting here, I just don't expect a genius to pop out of nowhere with a solution in hand).
p.s. my apologies for the lengthy post, I was trying to be as thorough as I could in order to alleviate as much back and forth one-line question and answer posts to save everyone some time :b

Yeah, I actually tried going the manual way not too long after my original post and unsurprisingly, the download would go smoothly only to halt at a certain point again. In fact, I tried downloading not only the MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8 but also MacOSXUpd10.6.8 just to give it a try and that too halted during download.
The most perplexing part is that these download errors exhibited the EXACT same issue of halting at a very specific point. To be doubly sure, I tried downloading multiple copies of the same file at different times with some overlap during the download times (basically started two downloads of the same copy a few mins apart and I got these results.
try#3 - MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8 - stuck at 232 MB of 1.01 GB (kept open in Download window for reference)
try#3 - MacOSXUpd10.6.8 - stuck at 430 of 454 MB (kept open in Downloads window for reference)
try#4 - MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8 - stuck at 232 MB of 1.01 GB
try#4 - MacOSXUpd10.6.8 - stuck at 430 of 454 MB
try#5 - MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8 - currently chugging at 61.9 of 1.10 GB, but i'm pretty sure when it's going to stop...
Come to think of it, whenever I tried to update games like "League of Legends", or download/update a Steam game I always get stuck at 33% or 99% respectively. Most recently, I bought "FFXIV:ARR" as a digital download and I haven't been able to get past a very specific point in progression for the game client download as well. So in contrary to my first assessment, it most likely IS a problem on my own end but these "symptoms" seem very clear and specific, I just can't pinpoint the problem. I don't have "connection time-out" problems when doing downloads on my work network, only at the guest house where they assign me a TCP/IP configuration for internet connectivity (which also severely hampers my ability to troubleshoot). On the other hand, P2P is just fine but I suspect that's because it doesn't require a contiguous download.
TL;DR
Large downloads/updates over one specific network (assigned TCP/IP) always hang at specific point in download completion. Internet connectivity for browsing is fine, P2P downloads are fine.

Software update hangs

I have a 21.5 inch Intel iMac mid 2011 and all has been working perfectly since November 2011 when I bought it.
The problem I am having is that when using the software update application found under the appleysumbol on the upper bar, the application says 'checking for new software' and hangs/freezes at what I would call around 20%. I have left the application running for several hours and the bar hasn't moved an inch.
I have tried using both Wi-Fi and ethernet connections to run the software update and neither have helped.
I have also tried several options I have found on some apple forums, including deleting software update caches and using 'Onyx' to delete software update cache and download cache.
As well as this I downloaded an installed the OS X Update Combo 10.7.3 and reset my system, along with verifying and repairing disk permissions. None of this helped.
Could anyone please advise on some way to sort this out as I don't particularly want to install all future updates manually
Thanks

Hi,
27" Intel Mac Running Lion with 8GB Ram.
Having same kind of problems after dowloading 10.7.3
Update would see the download for IPhoto 9.2.2 and then would try to get it, but when the progress bar came up nothing would happen. After a while a message came up saying unable to connect to Server, decided to manually download and Install, had to do do the same for Aperture 3.2.3, Safari 5.1.4 and the Digital Camera RAW Compatability Update 3.10.
Now the System is up to date when I try Software udate again it hangs around for ages until it tells me my Software is up to Date.
Have read an Article on the Net that in Mountain Lion you will have to download Software updates from the App store so Everything is one place, just wondering if these Problems we are having is the Precursor to that being implemented.
Regards.

CRM-MAS 4.0 SR1 required software updates lead to system crash !?

(long post, sorry !)
Hello
I'd like to know how MAS 4.0 behave when the software required for its installation are updated : over the past few months my computer has acted more and more strangely, and in the end I couldn't even log into Windows. The ghost we made after the installation has just ended the same way this afternoon.
As I only have installed WinMerge on that computer, my own other apps were portable apps, I was wondering if software updates could lead MAS to make the system fail.
Here is the starting environment : Windows 2000 company master with SQL Server 2000, Lotus Notes 6.5, Java 1.4.2 (and IE 6)
Required for MSA are Lotus 5 and Java 1.3.5
- Notes 6.5 is uninstalled and replaced by Notes 5.
- Java 1.4.2 is uninstalled, left registry keys manually removed and Java 1.3.5 is installed.
- Installation of MAS + SPs + packages
- Notes 5 is uninstalled and replaced by Notes 6.5 (which, I think, updates java to 1.4.2)
So first, what is the impact of updated versions for MAS ?
Second, I think I saw the behavior becoming worse after some windows update, do you think it is possible, or it just made an existing problem bigger ?
The different problems I had were first a random crash from MSA when I had IE open (email webaccess). Then it almost crashed everytime. Then I could't even get into MAS when I had IE open, then the same with Notes.
Other things (don't remember the order) were :
- Couldn't launch any application when MAS was lanched (even "My Computer" properties)
- I had visual glitches with CRM, Notes and IE when they were running at the same time
- I couldn't run the project from the debug feature of MAS ("Could not access registry").
And this afternoon, when I logon, a message asking me to increase the registry size then reboot. Then I can see the desktop but can't do anything
Besides installing WinMerge (old version, installer only), I had on my usb key : Firefox portable, Miranda portable, Notepad++ Portable and in the end I also used winmerge directly form it.
What do you think about this ? Maybe there was just a flaw in the initial computer installation, or maybe MAS does really not like to have its initial requirements updated ?
At the moment I am having my computer re-installed, and they have changed their masters to Windows XP, Notes 6.5 and Java 1.4 (maybe 1.6).
Have requirements of MSA 4 changed, for installation on WinXP ?
Thanks a lot and Regards,
François

Hi,
the installation of JRE (Java Runtime) or LN is not related to MAS directly but to an additional MSA installation. So their installation resp. update cannot have any impact on MAS.
I rather think that there might be a corruption of the Windows Installer Database which is used as a standard installation engine e.g. also for MAS.
I also can remember to have serious problems (always automatic start of Windows installer popup when trying to open MAS/MSA) some years ago on a customer MAS machine where windows updates were applied automatically.
Finally there was only the solution even to reinstall the complete OS.
Maybe you could check for microsoft tools like msicuu2.exe to uninstall the applications also from the installer database mentioned above.
By the way: Did you already check the hard disk resp. memory for failures?
Regards,
Wolfhard

HT1925 I am endeavouring to install iTunes latest version. I am instructed to find a new path to Apple Software Updater. I am told that it is no longer available on my network. I can find such a file in my Program files.How do I uninstall this to allow t

I am endeavouring to upgrade iTunes. The upgrade always stalls at a point where there is a need to access Apple Software Updater, which is reported as no longer being available on my network. In My Programs, I have a folder called Apple Software Updater, to which I can browse, but within which I cannot trigger any action. Instructions suggest uninstalling iTunes, then Quicktime, then Apples Software updater, at which the de-installation process stalls as it cannot be found, whilst being there. I am advised to seek Techical Support!
Any ideas, suggestions etc?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
