Software update cannot find installed App's  in sub-folder

Hi All,
I have same kind of problem - I created folder called "iLife' 11" and moved there all App's which belong to this package. As soon as I did this Software Update cannot find anything. For example Apple released iPhoto' 11 (9.1.1) update and Software Update did not find it until I moved it back to "Applications".
BTW I have same problem with Adobe App's. Adobe update did not see Photoshop which has been moved to sub-folder.
My question is DO I have any chance to put App's to sub-folder and get them automatically updated by Software update? IF so, what should I do?

All sub-folders located in /Applications/ not in /Users/username/Applications. Actually /Users/username/Applications/ is empty on my mac.
What I trying to have is sub-folder (for example called Photo where I will have all applications for working with images (Photoshop, Nikon Scan, SilverFast and so on) in one locations or iLife' 11.
I took this idea from folder "Utilities" I can put App there and it worked and updated without any problems.
As far as I understand this problem (from Unix point of view) is a PATH problems. Software Update cannot find App in the folder which not listed in PATH.
If I create link (allies) for application in /Applications/ folder it will updated.

  • Cannot find install.app

    I had to have a new hard drive put into my Mac mini. I am trying to re-install by boxed set of Adobe Creative Suite master collection 5.5 but cannot find install.app on any of the three disks. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    There's something else I have just remembered. The master suite collection was a student edition that I had the platform changed for, from Windows to Mac. This explains why the serial number on the box doesn't work. It had to be cancelled. So now the situation is that I need to track down the serial number it was replaced with. Thing is, I can't remember what Adobe did. I have relevant emails still, but only saying they have cancelled the old serial number (that's on the box) nothing about a replacement one.
    Any thoughts?

    Delivery of latest firmware to device has always been product code dependent, the seven digit number starting with "0" found on label under battery and consequently subject to regional and network operator variants.

    Is your Microsoft Office folder in your Hard drive -> Applications folder?  If you moved it Microsoft's software may not be able to find it.  Hard drive -> Applications is not the same as Users -> yourname  (home, house icon) -> Applications.

  • My software is up-to-date. cannot find new App Store app

    I have updated my OS software. Cannot find the AppStre app that I understand should be on the dock. Where could it be and how do I put it on the dock?
    Thanks

    It's only installed if you're running 10.6.6 or newer. Mac OS X 10.6 is a paid upgrade, and therefore won't appear in Software Update.

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • Trying to re-install itunes error message "the older version of Apple software update cannot be removed" ?

    Unable to re-install itunes as error message appears "The Older Version Of Apple Software Update Cannot Be Removed"
    Been to control panel and found apple software update but still unable to remove   Help!!

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

    okay. first head into your Add/Remove programs and try to uninstall Apple Software Update.
    if Add/Remove won't let you uninstall Apple Software Update, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. run the utility and select Apple Software Update in the list of entries that show up in CleanUp. click "Remove". (that will clear the Apple Software Update installation configuration information.)

    now restart the PC and try another QuickTime install. does it go through properly this time?

    When installing the new iTunes software, the message : "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed." What should I do? I tried deleting files related through control panel or the manual way, but it doesn't work. Am I missing something?

    (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:

    Does it go through properly this time?

  • Software Update wants to install Pro Apps Update 2008-05...

    I've been running Final Cut Studio 3 on this machine for a long time.  Suddenly Software update wants to install the Pro Applications Update 2008-05. The only thing I can think of that might have caused that is that I dragged over a copy of LiveType from an older PPC G5 that was still running FCS2.  Not sure if I should allow it or not. If I allow it, will it be smart enough to see that I have more recent versions of all of the apps?  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    CJ

    Nothing newer will be replaced.

  • Apple Software Update cannot be removed during install

    I have tried updating to the new 64-bit version of iTunes 9.1 several times, and every time it will get all the way to the end and say "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Please contact your technical support group." It then says the iTunes installer has been interrupted and did not finish the download. I tried to manually remove the Apple Software Update, but it said "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
    What do I do? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I've even tried doing the download without checking the automatic updates option at the beginning of the installation.

    First try heading in to your Add/Remove programs control panel and see if you can uninstall Apple Software Update from there.
    If you can't uninstall Apple Software Update from there, or it doesn't appear in there, or if you seem to successfully uninstall it from there, but you still get the same message when you try to install iTunes, try the following procedure.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:

    Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any *Apple Software Update* entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
