Software update does not function

When I click software update I get a preferences error which states could not load software update. Any idea what the problem is. I have already run disk utility and there are no problems detected.

Hi,
Tried the suggestion and got the following msg;

I Want to download i0s 5

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

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
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

Why Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?

QuestionWhy Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?
AnswerSoftware Updater only installs security-related updates automatically. Non-security-related updates, and service packs installation are required to be initiated manually via the Software updates tab under the Policy Manager Console.
In Policy Manager 12, a checkbox Show non-security-related updates has been introduced under the Policy Manager Console > Software tab. Unchecking the checkbox hides the following update types:
Microsoft security tools
Non-security updates
Service packs
Note: This checkbox is Policy Manager Console-specific setting. If you change the setting in one Policy Manager Console, it would not affect another Policy Manager Console connected to the same Policy Manager Server.

Presumably FOTA not an option for your 5800XM?

To get beyond 10.7.5, you must go to the App Store and purchase an upgrade.

HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

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)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

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).

Update to 10.4.4 now software update does not work

Updated using the standalone installer and now Software Update will not launch, although I can run it from the Preference pane. Tried repair permissions. Ran cron scripts. Ran the combo update. Still no luck. Any ideas. Thanks.

Software Update will not launch, although I can run it from the Preference pane.
Confusing because they contradict each other. Where are you trying in the failed instance? From the About this Mac menu item? Please be a bit more specific. If my assumption is correct, then create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if it works there. Report back.

Nokia Software Updater does not recognize 6110 Nav...

Hi,
I've been trying all day to update the Firmware on my 6110 Navigator. I've checked on the website and Nokia is listing a new Firmware version available.
The problem is that when I run Software Updater I keep getting the message "Phone is not supported - Connected phone is not recognised".
I've run PC Suite cleaner and other packages to clean my registry and have installed PC Suite v6.86.9.3 and Software Updater v1.4.36en. Although all the other PC Suite functions are working fine I cannot get the Software updater to run.
Although there's a couple of posts with the same problem I cannot find a solution on any of them.
Anyone with any clue PLEASE HELP.
Thanks,

Taugis,

Safari won't open URLs and Software Update does not cnnect

OK. I'm back in the hope that I can get some help from this forum or I can get steered to the appropriate forum.
This morning I went to the local library and connected to the internet directly using airport to their WAN. So I now know my problem is independent of the weird dial up arrangement I have at home.
Safari still does not open the sites. It gives a message "Cannot open page "x" because it cannot connect to server "X""
When I open Firefox all my sites are working normally. (I also downloaded and installed Firefox 3 this morning)
I have reset Safari but that does not help.
I have even downloaded the latest greatest version of safari (the beta 4) but it exhibits the same problems
When I invoke Software Update it claims I am not connected to the internet. Does this depend on Safari? Is there a preference i can change to make it work through Firefox
When I invoke internet connect diagnostics it says my internet connection is working normally.

Thank you. Problem solved.
Both safari and S/w Update now working again.
I have no idea how the proxy got set. (I don't remember doing it!!!)
Thanks again, Steve

Software update does not work when I try to update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7. How do I update?

How do you update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7? Software update app does not perform update.

That's because 10.7 is not an update, it is an upgrade that you have to buy by using the App Store app, not by using the Software Update.
It costs $19.95: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

ITunes Software Update Does Not Work

In iTunes v 10.5.3.3 I click on Help, Check For Updates. iTunes responds with "A new version of iTunes (10.6) is available. Would you like to download it now?". I click on "Download iTunes".
The "Apple Software Update" Dialog Box appears but iTunes does not appear on the list. The only thing that appears on the list is "DVD or CD Sharing Setup Update." The only way for me to update iTunes is to manually download the iTunes application.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I get the same result. Is the problem the iTunes application or the Apple Software Update application? I am running Windows XP Professional.

I repaired Apple Software Update. It is now reporting that I need a "Boot Camp Update". I do not use Boot Camp or have it installed on my system.
Doublechecking ... is your XP running natively on your computer, or is it a virtual installation on a system running Mac OS or Linux, or some other OS?
(Your ASU is behaving like your XP is installed on a BootCamp partition on a Mac system ... but if you aren't running BootCamp, it might be being confused by a virtual XP installation.)
