Software Update Does Not Appear to Work

I currently have v4.2.1 iOS on my iPhone 4. Today I see an iOS update for v4.2.6 yet when I go to update it tells me that I have the most current iOS. I would love to know more about v4.2.6 and if it's meant for my iPhone.
Thanks

If you have an AT&T or other GSM phone, then this update is NOT intended for your phone. It is for the Verizon CDMA iPhone only at this time.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

Apple software updates does not appear to do its automatic checks?

I have itunes installed on two almost identical Windows 7 based PC's and I have noticed that on one PC the Apple Software Updates do not appear to do its job by checking for updates automatically. If I run the software manually it will show if an update is available and allow me to install it but I never seem to get prompted automatically by Apple Software Updates even though its set to check weekly. My other PC does prompt. Both PC's have pretty much exactly the same software installed including firewall. Any reason why this would not appear to be working? Any way of checking if its actually carrying out the checks?

The reason I suggested moving the files to the Desktop is because if none of these files are responsible for the problem, you can then put them back--or at least put back the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file, which would have many things in it besides the setting for Software Update. If it is the cause of the problem it would be a good idea to replace it and redo your settings. But if it is NOT causing a problem you would not want to figure out what all needs to be reset, instead you can put the old one back. The two plists from the ByHosts folders can probably just be trashed, and new ones created when you reset preferences for Software Update, although the scheduler might do something else (I don't have many things on auto schedule so I don't know, the only thing in mine is Software Update settings).

I need to update my software, but "software update" does not appear under General/settings.

Any ideas? Thank you.

An iPad 1 will update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 (the first gen iPad doesn't support iOS 6). If it is an iPad 2 or 3 then iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google have app versions in the store.

IPad app update does not appear to work

I have the new iPad with retina display and several days ago, I noticed that I keep getting bugged to update the app "CNBC Real-Time for iPad." When I accept the update, the app appears to update. However, when I click on the App Store, I am again bugged to install the same update. Resetting my iPad has not corrected this. Deleting the app and reinstalling the app did not correct this either. I am inclined to believe that this is a problem with the application and not the iPad given that I don't seem to have this problem with other applications but I wanted to report this in case it is more than that. Just wanted to bring this to attention both in case this is a problem not isolated to this app and my iPad.

This has been resolved.
For those searching for reasons: it was probably a aftershock from the appstore issue from a few days ago... Or the app version number didnt match the soon to be released updates which got leaked (new appstore issue)
Anyway, its all good now.
Thanks!:)

You must use a cable to get to IOS-5. Then, the "updates" option will appear under settings for future updating via WiFi.

My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

Snow Leopard DVD:
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Specifications;
Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
Lion 10.7.x;
Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)

software tab does not appear in settings on ipad - how do I update software

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

'Find' function does not appear to work in TextEdit on .txt documents

Most of the time the 'Find' function on the TextEdit application does not appear to work on .txt documents. I have verified this by using Find on words that I know are in a document, and it cannot find them. I've tried different options on the 'Find' function without success. This appears to have started with version 10.6.8. Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading to 10.6.8?

Thanks -- but I swear it worked fine prior to either the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 updates and now it doesn't. I'll just keep experimenting and playing around with it and see if I can get it to work. Maybe the new Lion O.S. coming out will fix it, although I'm not going to rush -- I made the mistake of putting Snow Leopard on right after it came out and had problems with some programs not working properly anymore (like Pro Tools, for example). Always a good idea to hold off until most of the bugs get fixed.

You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
Good luck

This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I created. I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin". The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users.
Can someone help me? I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on? What if this were my child? This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
Any help would be appreciated. (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
Thanks.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

exception-type in web.xml does not appear to work

WLS 60 SP1 (#101616)
          <exception-type> in web.xml does not appear to work. WLS shows standard
          "Internal error 500" page instead of a custom error page. The custom error
          page is shown if <error-code> is used instead of <exception-type>.
          Any ideas? Thanks


Can you show me some of your code? This works for me.
Also, you say that you are working with 6.0sp3. Are you sure? sp3 hasn't been
released yet, except in a very limited beta. (I believe only internally, but I
could be wrong about that.)

GetColumnAt(index) does not appear to work

I am attempting to place a simple Icon in a dataGrid using
cellRenderer. My problem is that
'myDataGrid.getColumnAt(index).cellRenderer' does not appear
to work. Most of the forum examples create arrays with AS and don't
show this example. I already use XMLConnector (which works fine)
the problem is referencing a column after the fact. I can do this

My code block:

playlist_dg.cellRenderer = "IconCellRenderer";
playlist_dg.getColumnAt[3].cellRenderer = "IconCellRenderer"

Msi gt70 2PE integrated HD 4600 graphics HDMI port does not appear to work.

Hi guys,
I have the GT70 2PE with integrated hd 4600 graphics and with a dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 880m card. The HDMI output does not appear to work.
I'm tech savvy and cannot figure this out for the life of me. have tried nearly everything.
lets start from the low level troubleshooting done:
- plugged in the HDMI cable from a working computer that has HDMI hooked up to it. This did not make a difference from the new cable I bought for hooking up my TV to my laptop.
- booted the laptop up and do not see a duplicate screen outputting via HDMI, all my video cards in my PC's I've built prior have always shown the HDMI output as a duplicate screen when I had a monitor hooked onto a PC. This makes me believe the HDMI port may be disabled/broken as there is no HDMI output at POST. Only the laptop monitor displays output.
In Windows 8.1 I've installed the latest 4600 drivers and nvidia 880m beta drivers.(even though installing nvidia drivers shouldn't matter since I've read the HDMI output is tied to the 4600 integrated graphics chip, also if during POST the HDMI output never showed up on my TV, then installing the latest intel graphics drivers shouldn't have made a difference either, which it didnt make a difference).
I've tried disabling the integrated graphics card then re-enabling it, as noted on the intel forums. - does nothing.
what I've ruled out:
-HDMI cable issues = no issues due to other PC's and devices working with the cables. All cable tests are direct connect to the TV, no intermediary devices such as hdmi splitters etc.
-BIOS has zero options for graphics card options.
Any ideas before i RMA this laptop? I'm at a loss.

OP's problem has been solved. Also please don't resurrect and do not hijack other people's topics. Open your own one.

Hashmap containsKey() method does not appear to work

Hashmap containsKey() method does not appear to work
I have an amazingly simple custom class called CalculationKey, with my own amazingly simple custom equals() method. For some reason when I call my containsKey() method on my HashMap it does not use my defined equals method in my defined key class. Do hashmaps have their own tricky way for establishing whether two keys are equal or not?
THIS IS MY AMAZINGLY SIMPLE CUSTOM KEY CLASS
private class CalculationKey
private LongIdentifier repID;
private LongIdentifier calcID;
public CalculationKey(LongIdentifier repID, LongIdentifier calcID)
this.repID = repID;
this.calcID = calcID;
public boolean equals(Object o)
CalculationKey key = (CalculationKey)o;
if (key.getCalcID().equals(calcID) &&
key.getRepID().equals(repID))
return true;
else
return false;
public LongIdentifier getCalcID()
return calcID;
public LongIdentifier getRepID()
return repID;
THIS IS MY AMAZINGLY SIMPLE CALLS TO MY HASHMAP WHICH ADDS, CHECKS, AND GETS FROM THE HASHMAP.
private Hashmap calculationResults = new Hashmap();
public boolean containsCalculationResult(LongIdentifier repID, LongIdentifier calcID)
if (calculationResults.containsKey(new CalculationKey(repID, calcID)))
return true;
else
return false;
public Double getCalculationResult(LongIdentifier repID, LongIdentifier calcID)
return (Double)calculationResults.get(new CalculationKey(repID, calcID));
public void addCalculationResult(LongIdentifier repID, LongIdentifier calcID, Double value)
calculationResults.put(new CalculationKey(repID, calcID), value);
}....cheers

You can make a trivial implementation to return a
constant (not recommended)What do you mean by that? Hmm.. I guess you mean that
you shouldn't use the same constant for all objects?
But don't see the int value of an (immutable) Integer
as constant?
/Kaj
You can write hashCode to just always return, say, 42. It will be correct because all objects that are equal will have equal hashcodes. Objects that are not equal will also have equal hashcodes, but that's legal--it just causes a performance hit.
The value is that it's really really simple to implement: public int hashCode() {
return 42;
} So you can use it temporarily while you're concentrating on learning other stuff, or during debugging as a way to confirm that the hashCode is not the problem. (Returning a constant from hashcode(), rather than computing a value, is always legal and correct, so if something's behaving wrong, and you replace your hashCode method with the one above, and it still breaks, you know hashCode isn't the problem.)
The downside is that you're defeating the purpose of hashing, and any non-trival sized map or set is going to have lousy performance.
For a decent hashCode recipe, look here:
