Safari 5.0.5 is now showing up on my Software Update list

I know I can download it on Apple's website, but that doesn't solve the problem. Is there anything I can do to "force" Software Update to find new updates?
The funny thing is the same problem is happening on 2 different Macs: a 24" late-2009 iMac and a 13" late-2009 MacBook Pro.

OK, that's how I solved my problem:
Since both of my Macs were having the same issue, I started to wonder if the local network was to be blamed. In order to test if that was the case, I connected my MacBook to the internet using my iPhone 3G connection. Suddenly, Software Update found the newest version of Safari.
In a nutshell: somehow my local network was blocking the access to some Apple servers. That's annoying and I just don't know what to do about it.
Is there anything I can do on that matter?

And I cant restore my iPhone becuase when I go onto iTunes it says that it can't find my iPhone. I have tryed to download the most resent iTunes because I went to apple website and just hit download iTunes so I guess it's the most resent version and I don't know what to do. Should I go to an apple store?

  • My aperture 3.0 doesnt show up in the software update

    How can i force my A3 to update - it wont let me download it because it says i need A3 installed --(and it definately IS) and it doesnt show up when using software update either.
    What file is missing to get this to do it and how do i fix it?
    - i tried deleting A3 from applications and using my install disk to reinstall it - didnt work

    Perhaps you renamed Aperture to something like "Aperture 3" (some people did this when keeping Aperture 2 on the system concurrently). Make sure it's just named "Aperture" and it is in the base level of your Applications folder.
    You can Download the update here.

    Just be sure to quit Aperture and back everything up before updating. Hope this helps.

  • I have been trying to update my software in my macbook pro, but every time I go through the motions of updating/restarting my computer nothing happens and it still shows I need a software update. Anyone know why this is happening?

    How large is your HD and how much space do you have left?
    Check out the following & do the necessary: 
    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    Try SU again. 
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

  • Mail and Safari now fail to open following software update

    After running software update for my Macbook running 10.4.11, I restarted and tried to open Safari but the app crashed and sent an error report to apple. So, I then tried opening mail. Same thing happened.
    I then tried removing the preferences directory from the Library directory and restarting. Safari still crashes though. Mail is at least starting now, although it has forgotten all the email account info and so has sent me into a setup wizard.
    Please help. This has left me high and dry at a time when I really need access to these things.
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Hi Stuart,
    Can you post the crash report text that you get when Safari quits?
    You can obtain the crash report text by clicking the (Report...) button in the Unexpectedly Quit window and then copying and pasting the text here.
    If you previously had some Safari enhancing applications installed, go to these 2 locations to see if you have anything present in them and move them onto your Desktop to deactivate them:
    /Users/YourUsername/Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    Restart Safari to pick up the change. If it works now, you can try moving the items back one by one until you find the culprit.

  • Mac software showing up in Windows Software update?

    I am getting all sorts of software and updates showing up in the software and update window. Even bootcamp updates show up on a Windows PC - uh?
    Is this just me or are we supposed to filter out the programs and updates from 20 or so options?
    John D-E

    I suspect that the numbers may be notes added in such a way that Preview does not recognize it. I would use Adobe Reader to see if it can display them. Adobe Reader does things that Preview does not, and vice versa. Personally, I think it is worthwhile to have it just to display pdf files in Safari.

  • Phone doesn't show up after new software update

    After dowloading the new software I am unable to see my phone when connected to the computer. I'd like to transfer music and pictures but now I can't. Any idea how to get my phone to show back up in iTunes?

    First, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update...
    If the system is up to date, try reinstalling the AMDS...

    And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before connecting the iPod to your Mac.

  • Why has my safari icon disappeared from the applications bar after the recent software update?

    Everything was working perfectly until I uploaded the most recent software update. When I restarted my laptop I found that the Safari icon had disappeared from my applications bar.  If I go to my 'recent places' and click on Safari it then reappears but only until I close the laptop down as the next time I start it up, it's nowhere to be seen.  Can anyone help?  

    by applications bar you mean "dock"? After you click on recent places and start safari it will reappear in the dock and at this point you will want to control + click (right click) on the SAFARI icon and hover to options, make sure that "KEEP IN DOCK" has a check mark next to it. If it does not, click that option. Now it will keep the Safari Icon in your dock.

  • ITunes 11.2 -  not showing up in apple software update

    Is out. But I cannot download it in the usual way. On 'apple software update' it is not appearing in the available updates list. If I launch iTunes and then check for updates it shows that 11.2 is available and I click box to download. But all this does is launch apple software update box again and of course itunes 11.2 is missing, so not able to download. anyone else seeing same difficulty (this is in london UK)
    Cheers

    Give it some time. With both the iTunes update and the OS X 10.9.3 update being released, Apple's servers are undoubtedly jammed. Or you can just go to the iTunes tab at the top of the page and download the installer from there.
    Regards.

  • Iphone 4s now in recovery mode after software update 7 ??

    hi. i have seen a few comments regarding this, but this is my BUSINESS PHONE and I cannot get it out of recovery!
    it went into recovery after I uploaded (ironically) the bug fix realeased yesterday.
    Now, nothing! Just the itunes connection picture on the phone and message regarding 'phone is in recovery mode'
    HELP!
    Thanks

    Try the steps:
    How to perform a recovery-mode restore
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.

  • HT1222 Just bought a ipad mini with retina. On my settings page its showing ios7.0.4 software update. "Estimating time remainin..." but doesn't seem to complete update. This message has been showing since last evening. How can I end or complete this opera

    I just bought an ipad mini with retina display. On my settings page it shows an update occurring for ios.7.0.4 with the message "Estimating time remaining..."
    This update and message appeared last evening but doesn't seem to complete. It also says "downloading", but nothing is happening.
    How can I complete the download or eliminate it?

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • BlackBerry Z10 - voice mails not showing on Hub after software update

    I have a BlackBerry Z10 smartphone with Verizon and yesterday I upgraded to the 1.0.4.1 version. Now my voice mails are gone from the Hub and I don't even get notifications whenever somebody leaves me a voice mail. I called Verizon and they were not able to help. Is anybody having this same issue? Can somebody help? Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had the same problem as you - including the missing voicemail option to add to the hub.  No amount of battery pulls or re-starts helped.  Here is what worked for me:  Go to Setup and activate Visual Voicemail.  Agree to the $2.99 monthly fee. Wait 5 minutes as directed and then call yourself and leave a voicemail or two.  You will notice the Visual Voicemail icon (and message indicator) now appears in the Hub.  Go back to Setup and deactivate Visual Voicemail.  Your regular voicemail, and test messages, should now remain.  Not sure if you/I will get charged the $2.99 for 10 minutes worth of Visual Voicemail but it will be worth it to get the regular voicemail back.  Hope this helps.  Post back with your results.
