Software update back to Apple

Hey everyone,
How can I point my client machines back to Apple's site? I used Software Update Enabler to point them to my server but I want to point them back to Apple and I don't know the address. Can anyone help?

Perhaps you've already discovered this but the Software Update Enabler has an update that is supposed to fix this bug.
Hope this helps.

    Upgrade the computer’s OS, or switch to a product such as Firefox.
    To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • My MacBook Pro shows the logo in a white screen when I ask for a Software Update under the apple. Actually it stays blank on Featured, Top Charts, Categories and Purchases as well. What up? Thanks.

    I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
    Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
    PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours.

  • How to set software updates back to Apples server?

    Hi,
    I just started using OSX Server. I will be using it to perform hundreds of netboot installs of Leopard which I have working. I also want to use it to serve software updates which I also have working on one machine using the
    defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL URL
    as these are unmanaged computers. Not all the machines will stay local after the work is done.
    How do I reset Software Update to use Apple's software update servers?
    Thanks,
    Shawn

    OK, I found how to reset the server by deleting the com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist file in the user/library/preferences folder.
    However I ran into another problem. I was testing software updates on a 10.4.x machine and it works fine. However I ran into problems on 10.5.x
    The defaults command listed above changes the user version of com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist which is fine for 10.4.x but apparently not 10.5.x
    To get this working in 10.5.x I coped the plist file from the User/library/preferences folder and dropped in in the /Library/Preferences folder. Now I see software update connecting to the local server to check for software updates.

  • I have a situation where the administrator password is rejected when attempting a software update. I think this happened because of syncing a iPad to the iMac.  How can I reset the Software Update back to the administrator password?

    You can reset the password with the install disk.

  • I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.

    I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs, including files that refuse rto open:

  • Hi there I'm trying to update my mac that is on OS X 10.4.11 and nothing is coming up in the software update in the apple menu

    Hi there I'm trying to update my mac that is on OS X 10.4.11 and nothing is coming up in the software update in the apple menu

    That would be because you have the last version of Tiger. To upgrade you need to purchase a newer version of OS X released since Tiger. They would be:
    Leopard (10.5.x);
    Snow Leopard (10.6.x);
    Lion (10.7.x).
    Which one you purchase depends in part on your computer model and installed RAM. Unfortunately, you did not provide any additional information.
    Lion is the current version of OS X, but Snow Leopard is still available through Apple's Online Store.

  • Software Update Hung, now Apple Apps wont open

    I was recently doing a regular Software Update download, and left it to run overnight. When I checked the next morning, it hand hung before completing the downloads (Safari update and others).
    Since I had nothing but the spinning beachball, I had to do a hard reboot. Now I can boot and use some apps, but others, including all of the Apple apps will not open (except QT).
    I have used Disk Utility to check and repair permissions (though it didn't see any error). I have tried a Safe Boot, but nothing has yet worked to reset things. I am searching for my original boot disk to try and launch with it and see if I can repair....
    Fortunately this in not my main computer anymore, and my data is in a different partition and also backed up.
    Any thoughts on getting my old iMac G5 back to normal?
    CHUCK

    Hi Chuck,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install 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. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    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 finishes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

    The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
    Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

  • Mac OSx V10.6 - Change software update back to apples servers

    Hi All
    Wonder if anyone can help. I have a Macbook pro running snow leopard 10.6. This was once connected to our 10.5 xserve but was quickly removed as it would not be used on the server. However, after this the chaps who set it up seemed to have set the software updates to look at our server. Of course, even when connected to the network, our server will not run 10.6 updates (i did read a thread here on how to force it to, but dont feel confident enough to try)
    I am trying to work out how to set this machine to start re-using the swscan.apple.com server so the user can take the machine home and update quicktime and other apps which are causing the issues.
    I have tried using the latest ISet SUS but doesnt seem to want to view swscan.apple.com. ISet seems to work, if I set the server to be my 10.5 xserve it will connected and gives the error that the server does not support 10.6
    Any tips would be great
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Open Terminal and enter following command:
    defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
    To check if it was written:
    defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
    This'll do the trick.

  • Can't download updates using software update or from apple's site

    I just got my mac about a week ago. i am trying to download the updates using software update, but they only partially download. After awhile, I get an error message (-1001) that says to check the network connection and try again later. I have tried several times and I still get the same thing. Also, when i try to download the updates from Apple's site, they only partially download as well and then it says they "timed out". This is happening with all downloads i have attempted. The download speeds start out around 150 kb/s but then just start to drop and the download times out. I have to keep stopping and restarting the downloads to get them to finish which gets annoying when the file is large. Any suggestions???
    Thanks

    I am connected to the internet via a wireless network set up in my home. There are two other PCs connected to the network, one a desktop and the other a laptop. Neither have had any problems using or connecting to the internet. I have a DSL connection. I have tried to directly connect with the router with an ethernet cable, but the same thing happens.
