Software bug - playlist update via short key shift + shuffle

In my previous 4G IPOD + Itunes 5.7 you could "re-shufle" the playlist by pressing shift + shufle button (as indicated in the short-key help in Itunes). This way if you added new albums which fall into the criteria of the playlist, you could re-sufle the playlist (otherwise the new album will be added at the end of the list instead of distribut the songs through the shufle list). Now with the 5G it does not work because although it shows re-shuffled in Itunes, it does not actually do anything on the Ipod therefore there is a mistmach of the sequence of the playlist in Itunes vs Ipod. Where can this bugs be reported in order to get them fixed?

I have found this same problem with my 60GB. I create a playlist and add songs to it. While it is connected and in iTunes I select the playlist and hit shuffle. The playlist shuffles. When I eject and view the playlist on the iPod it is in the exact order that I created it. Not the shuffle that is displayed thru iTunes. I was able to do this on my 3rd gen iPod with no problems.

How to obtain software and firmware updates via CD

Hello Forum!
Because I don't have broadband, I was wondering if Apple mails a CD w/ software and firmware updates.
I need the following updates according to Apple:
Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5.0
Airport Extreme 2007 1.0
iPhoto update 6.0.6
Battery update 1.2
Superdrive firmware update 2.1
iTunes 7.3
Mac OS X update combo. 10.4.10
Thanks,
Ryoichi

Apple does not usually provide updates via CDs to individuals. However, if you were to pop down to the Cincinnati Apple store with a blank CD, they'd probably help you get the updates. Or you could just use their own free Wi-Fi network to download the updates directly to your MacBook.

Software update problem in initial setup. Can update via PC help?

I have purchased a blackberry tablet and it requires to be updated. Unfortunately the wifi gets disconnected and all the updates are lost. This is happening from past 3 days. I have heard that software could be updated via PC.
Can someone help me with the exact directions as my knowledge in the field is low.

Okay...found the right usb cord (slaps self upside head...d'oh!) and it is now showing on my computer when I plug it in. I pressed backup...( I don't know why. ) and it would not go far... (at this point I think I am just trying what I can to get it to do SOMETHING!)
I pressed restore thinking it would just go back to making the tablet actually work with wifi..and all it did was give me back some apps that I did not want and take away others. It did not get rid of the update change or complete it...(since the tablet says that I removed it before it finished...HELLO! it told me to push a button to restart..and I did!) It still cannot do anything wifi related. This is not due to my own router as it would not do it when I was out and about with it either..including using the library wifi which has always worked for me and has been strong.
I am going to see if I can return this if the tech help doesn't work. I hate the fact that they only give you 90 days of tech help..I mean why? So in short I did everything they asked me to do in regards to the update and all it did was hoop my whole wifi experience. I am quite saddenned by this as I was having such a good experience until I updated it. I wish I could restore it before the update as the update is what is killing it. Thanks again for any help..I really do read it and try out your suggestions. Anyways...if mine is not working by Saturday I will be bringing it back to the store along with my boyfriend bringing his back too...we both them together and he didn't like the fact that he had probs with the app. store which WAS fixed but he hates the idea that help is only for three months and then you have to pay for help. Seems wrong.

My smart playlist "Recently Added", will not update via Match on my iOS devices

My smart playlist "Recently Added", will not update via Match on my iOS devices

At first I also thought this to be a bug with Match an smart playlists. When I first activated Match on my iPhone the 'recently added' playlist (which holds about 200 songs on my MacBook Pro) was vompletely empty on the phone. But - After buying some music and downloading some additional songs from the cloud - it was slowly beginning to fill up with this newly added music.
So I guess Apple has quietly made smart playlists device-sensitive. 'recently added' actually means 'recently added in the specific device you are using to view this playlist'. In fact this would just be a logic step. But it would be great if Apple had documented this change of behaviour and would give us the option to make playlists device-relative or cloud-relative.

I got my iphone4 updated via wifi and its shows downloaded and when i install it, it shows verifying software and then says error occured while installing ???

hi, there, i got my iphone4 updated via wifi n its downloaded, its shows when i check the software update n when i install it, it shows verifying the software n after a couple of seconds comes back with "error while installing ios6" failed so many attempts and even tried to reset the phone, but no use, then i tried latest updated itunes too, can u believe it, it took ages to download n when it was 880mb of the 899mb file, error occured , so many failed attempts, can some one tell me what to do ? are there any issues with iphone4 updates? m scared to update it now, but really wanna get it on my phone.

I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S. The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening. Suffice it to say I am not amused. Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.

Is it possible to push or make available the Windows 8.1 update via Windows Intune software deployment?
This is for laptops.

Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store. I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are. My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade. Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution. Here are the steps to take:
1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left. If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase. You know what to do.
3. There is also an option to reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy. Select "Remove All Website Data." Just do it.
5. Launch the app store and sign in.
6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
I hope this helps. Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

No 10.4.7 update via Software Update nor manually for MBP

Via Software Update, I have applied the 10.4.7 update to a variety of machines, but, for some reason I have yet to determine, my MBP will a) not "find" the updated via Software Update to date and b) upon downloading both the intel Combo and Delta updaters manually, the installer returns this error:
"You cannot install Mac OSX Update Combined (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I have rebooted, cleared caches, repaired permissions, ran DFA, etc. I removed some items from the Login Items area of my account in the Accounts pref pane. I have removed a launchd User Agent I created with Lingon. Each subsequent attempt check to Software Update says, "no new software" and each attempt to install manually results in the aforementioned error.
On this particular MBP, I have 2 partitions; my primary, large, daily use partition and a smaller, "rescue" partition with a functional OS on it. Running the manual installer allows me to select (and, sucessfully update) the "rescue" partition (which I did do). I booted from the "rescue" partition and, when selecting my primary partition during a manual update via the Combo or Delta installers, get the same error as mentioned earlier. So, booting from an entirely different "drive", I get the same error.
I also downloaded the combo version of the 10.4.6 installer thinking I may have a busted component somewhere preventing the recognition of this laptop as an elligible candidate for 10.4.7. It returns the same, exact error I get trying to manually apply the 10.4.7 Combo/Delta updates.
During my installation attempts, the drive has had upwards of 14GB free. I did apply the MBP 15" firmware update that was released a while back.
The Quicktime 7.1.2 update was recognized as available via Software Update and I installed it with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.6) Core Duo 2.0GHz/2GB

I eventually did an archive and install to get 10.4.7 installed on my MBP the last time around. Now 10.4.8 is doing the same thing. Neither via Software Update nor manual downloads of Intel delta or combo updaters will apply. Arg!
Has anyone else seeen this? I've tried applying the update while booted regularly and also in safe boot to no avail.

Airport Extreme Update via Apple's Software Update

Apple just released an AE(n) update via Software Update.
Maybe this will fix some of these problems!

Okay, dummy me actually loaded the update twice. On iMac #1 I ran the "update s/w" from the upper left apple icon and had no updates available. Thinking security update 2007-002 was for the base station also I downloaded and installed. On iMac #2 I also ran "update s/w" and noticed 3 updates needed (iTunes, something else, and security update 2007-002). Led me to think, yikes, on the first machine I must've "double banged" the security update on it. In the aforementioned MS world, that can lead to problems, what doesn't. Any thoughts on impact of loading this (or any) update twice on a Mac?
Thanks (and you can stop laughing now too )

Software Update via Server Admin 10.5.1 not working.

I have a headless XServe running 10.5.1 that I control using Server Admin. Unfortunately, the feature to install updates via Server Admin doesn't seem to be working.
When I click Check Now, it says it is "Checking for new software", then stays for a bit on "scanning in progress". It then stops, and there's no updates listed.
When I use ARD to log into the machine and run Software Update there, there are updates to be installed.
Does anyone know why this isn't working?

I experienced this with a pre-release build from the past.
You didn't specify where the build came from. Is it possible that the Admin that gave you the disk gave you an older pre-release build?
These disks often came from bit torrents or the developer connection pre-release builds. Todays modern binaries are not compatible with the pre-release OS, so its typical to see the error messages that you have experienced.
If you used a genuine apple branded production build then you may want to try the update again as I've seen that the update servers go down from time to time.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Screenshot Error in Mac OS X 10.8, Short key working but no file generated

Today I'm going to use the mac screenshot (screen capture from COMMAND+CONTROL+SHIFT+4) to capture the window while the problem comes. The short key is working and the icon of pointer has changed accordingly, but once I clicked there is no file generated in the destination folder. I would like to know what's wrong with my screenshot? Is there anyone who encountered the similar errors before?
I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and I believe the screenshot is still avalaible after the update from the 10.7.x. I guess the problem is more about the screenshot applet rather than the system. Besides, I'm eager to know that is there any method to solve this problem.
Thank you.

I am running a Retina Macbook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.3 installed. I was having this problem today, but I did a few things that got rid of the issue...
1) Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Screen Shots, and click each of these 4 boxes...
Then close the window.
2) Open the application "Terminal."
Type in killall Finder > Push enter
Type in killall Dock > Push enter
Close the program
3) Turn off the computer. Now turn it on, but hold down "CMD + OPTION + P + R" on the keyboard as it boots up. This will restart your computer. Let the keys go after the restart, and let it boot all the way. Pressing these keys clears your PRAM and NVRAM settings--it doesn't harm your computer at all, but it is supposed to help give your battery a boost. Apparently, it also resolved my screen shot issues.
I blame my screen shot issues on a program I tried installing today--it must have messed with the OS somehow. Hope all of this helps!

IOS update via iTunes vs via WiFi

Just for my curiosity. What is the difference between updating the iOS with iTunes vs WiFi?
the reason why I am asking this because I read somewhere that sometime users have issue after the update their iOS over WiFi. Same user that update to the same iOS via iTunes does not have the same issue. I am talking about Battery Life, or Wifi Problem, or BlueTooht Issue, or Software Bug.
It is possibile that there is a minimum differece in software when the updated is maded over the WiFi vs iTunes?
Thank you

The OTA updates provides a delta update only while iTunes provided the whole build.
Some users have issues after installing the whole build with iTunes as well. If there is a problem after installing the delta update OTA, restoring the iPhone with iTunes to install the whole build for the update may resolve the problem.
I have installed all iOS updates OTA since the option became available and I haven't experienced any problems after doing so yet.

Receive Updates via eMail Doesn't Work

My "Receive Updates via eMail" and "More System Details" options do not work anymore. They used to work about a couple of weeks ago.
Does anyone else has the same problem or just me?
Any suggestions/comments are much appreciated.
Thank you.

This is a known bug, it should hopefully be fixed next week when they update the software used by this forum.
