Software Update download freezes every time...

Just bought my first iMac (intel i5) and it won't complete the Software Update of Mac OS X (2.06GB). After multiple failed attempts of downloading over WIFI, I've plugged in via ethernet. Download freezes every time.  Why?

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Any change?

    Let's try the following document with that one.
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    (If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

    Download how?  If you are downloading via Safari, see Safari Preferences, General.

  • Downloading software updates at a given time?

    Does anyone know how to download software updates at a given time, then apply them automatically?
    The GUI softwareupdate has daily/weekly/monthly, but can't say download at 8pm (when no one is at the office).
    I made a crontab entry for the command-line softwareupdate tool to download at 8pm and it works (mostly). It drops them in ~/Downloads. However, to apply them I have to find the files and individually double-click.
    If I try to crontab the installation, it won't work as it needs root privileges, and crontab runs as a non-root user. (I guess I could modify root's crontab? I'd prefer not to.)
    If I try installing from the GUI, it seems to ignore the already-downloaded packages (i.e. starts downloading them again). If I try installing from the command-line tool, it also ignores the already-downloaded packages (i.e. starts downloading them again).
    Advice?

    I think the only way to set it for a specific time is to do it manually. Perhaps there is a Terminal command that can be input, but I'm not aware of it.

  • Since downloading the most recent version of iTunes, I have to accept the software terms and conditions every time I open iTunes

    Since installing the most recent version of iTunes, I have to accept the software terms and conditions every time I go in to iTunes.  I sign in to my account, but when I re-open iTunes, as well as having to accept the terms and conditions before continuing, I find that iTunes has logged me out of my account.  None of this has happened before.  I am using a PC with Windows 8.

  • HT1338 my macbook freezes every time i go to you tube.

    my macbook freezes every time i go to you tube.  Do i have a virus or something?  what do i do?

    It's not a virus, or any other kind of malware.
    Most likely, you've got a problem with the Flash Player software. First, download and run the Flash uninstaller for Mac OS X 10.6 and up:
    uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg
    Then, download and install a fresh copy:

  • Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

    Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

    What is your Aperture version? And since when are you haveíng this problem? Did this start, after you imported  photos or updated software? Did you move your Aperture library or your original image files? Did Aperture crash?
    Does it only happen when you are working in your main Aperture library, or also when you are using a different Aperture library?
    As a test, create a new Aperture library and and try to adjust an image there. Does it work?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • I have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?

    i have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?

    You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers.  The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari.  Hope this helps!

  • FCP 10.0.1 update now crashes every time I launch it!

    FCP update now crashes every time I launch it! Won't even open a project I started last week with version 10.0.0.
    I have a deadline at work so I've now got a big problem! I'm trying to give the new and supposedly improved FCPX a shot but this app is turning out to be a real hack. What other professional video editing software do you guys use? Anyone use Premier Pro? I have Premier pro and think I should probably start my new projects in it. As I said....this app is a real mess.
    FYI: Same problem for my 1 year old MacBook Pro (8G ram, i7 processor) AND my Mac Pro (16G ram, 2 x 3GHz quad core processors, 4-1TB hardrives.

    I don't know who these friends are, but they're certainly misinformed and they don't appear to be doing you any favours.
    There are a great number of professional editors who have used Final Cut Pro since version 4 - but took the trouble to
    a.     Find out the system and install requirements for FCP X
    b.     Watch professional tutorials such as Ripple Training and actually LEARN how to use this ground breaking new application.
    They (and I) are having very few issues with FCP X - especially since the update.
    If you're getting crashes, autosave problems etc, there is more than likely some conflict on your system drive.
    Create a new (admin) user on your Mac system and try FCP X from there.
    I did this, and FCP X worked perfectly on the new account, meaning there was definitely a conflict on my existing system.
    To be absolutely certain my MacPro's system was squeaky clean, I then did a clean reinstall (not TimeMachine) and FCP X has worked reliably ever since.
    FCP X application should be in your Applications folder and ideally, your project and events should all be on an external HD and not on your Mac system drive.
    I have around 4000 clips distributed between six events at the moment and FCP X is coping very well most of the time.
    It helps to work without the waveforms displayed as these slow things down considerably.
    Do you have FC Studio or a version of FCP on the same drive partition as FCP X?
    This is what Apple say on their current web page on installation practice:
    "It is strongly recommended that you install Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4 on a startup disk that does not have Final Cut Studio (2009) already installed. Use Apple's preferred installation procedure when upgrading one version of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Studio to the next. This procedure is not unique to Final Cut Pro X."
    They do go on to say "if you must" have the two on the same partition, FCS must be located in a different folder - but I would have thought the words "strongly recommended" and "if you must" speak for themselves.

  • Crystal Reports freezes every time I try to open a report.

    Crystal Reports freezes every time I try to open a report. I feel like it has something to do with trying to locate the default printer, but Im not certain. Crystal Reports opens just fine,but the moment I try to open any report it just hangs. Please help!

    My problem is very similar to this person's. I have 2 laptops with CR XI installed (same problem from original R2 through SP 5).  The old laptop is an IBM Thinkpad R51. The new one is an HP Elitebook 6930p. Both have the exact same software and versions of Win XP and network security.
    If I try to open a report that has an "invalid printer" selected, it will open in the old IBM (with the message, 'This report uses an invalid printer. The default printer will be used instead'), but on the new HP, it freezes and I have to do a CtlAltDel to get out.
    I've tried everything Don Williams suggested, but the only thing that is logged in Admin Tools when this happens is a Security/Privilege Request" with no errors.
    Clearly, when CR in the HP looks for the printer selected in the report and doesn't find it, that causes CR to freeze.
    Any idea what difference between the 2 machines could cause this?
    This is a royal pain, because I can only be on one computer at a time.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.

  • Console (X-Fi) freezes EVERY time I click on EQ button (All 3 modes) -- HE

    Hi,
    I have the X-Fi Elite Pro and just recently developed this problem... my console freezes EVERY time I click on EQ button... I mean I have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and kill it with task manager. This happens in all three modes. After I kill the process,?I can re-open the console and use it as normal -- As long as I NEVER CLICK on the EQ button... This happens regardless of the mode I am in. If I wait long enough, I will get an error message that says "Out of memory". The title of that error window varies... I wrote down a couple of them... once?the title?said?"modeEnTM" and last time it was "CTTheme."?Anyone else ever have this problem.. again... it just cropped up all of a sudden -- but it won't go away. I did uninstall all Creative software and drivers, deleted all Creative folders, deleted the registry entries?and reinstalled everything... but no change. Hope someone knows... -- ScribbleMeat

    Perhaps you have something else which you installed that is conflicting with the Creative software. Try using Sysinternals autoruns or msconfig to disable all unnecassary start-up items and then see if EQ button still causes any crashes. Do you see any CPU usage spikes on any other processes whilst the Out of memory crash appears?Have you checked to see if your Virtual memory is set correctly? you can check this in Control Panel, System Properties > Advanced Tab > Performance SettingsMake sure you have a paging file set to a custom size of around 2046 or leave it on System managed size. You might want to also try out a program called CCleaner, this can clean up your temp files and registry without damaging your OS or program installations. If none of this helps, try uninstalling the complete driver set again and then using Driver Cleaner to make sure there is no trace left afterwards or go through the hard disk manually (Program Files, Documents and Settings) and remove all trace of Creative related software and configuration files.

  • When does Software Update download in the background?

    I work at a school with about 150 Macs. About 50 of them are new imacs with Leopard installed. The default setting is to have software updates download in the background. We have turned that off as 50 machines downloading a 100 meg file at the same time could cause some traffic jams, correct? We download the updates once and install using ARD. My question is, if we forget to turn one off, when does it download? As soon as it is connected to the internet? We have our computers turning on in the morning at 8 and shutting of at 6 pm. When would the software update automatically download in the background? Thanks in advance.
    Message was edited by: Jeff Peach

    I have always noticed that when I boot my machine, software update checks and if anything is available it will download. I have it set to check daily, and I shut my machine down nightly.
    Also it tells you the last time it checked in the preferences.
    Software Update > Preferences
    That should tell you your answer for sure.
