Software update for mac

Why there is no possibility to update my nokia with Mac. the best os system for computer.

Nokia are finally providing some support for the Mac (eg Nokia Media Transfer), which is good. But they still have a long way to go, and I suspect they don't have much time up their sleeve, with the looming threat of the iPhone.
As a Mac user, it is exceptionally frustrating to have to jump through hoops for my Nokia phone, just to perform simple things like firmware updates or downloading maps for the mapping software. These are things which were solved by digital camera manufacturers years ago, yet Nokia seems just a bit clueless in this area. This definitely sours the user experience in a big way, and it's certainly not something I will accept for my next phone.
Even though I use Macs, I won't necessarily get an iPhone next time, though it is likely to be a strong contender. At the moment, it is still not available here, and there are some features lacking in the first version, and I will wait to see how that develops.
One thing which Apple seems to get much better than Nokia, is support - on the few occasions when I have had to contact Apple for support, it has been an efficient, painless experience which has left me a happy customer. Nokia can take weeks to reply to emails, if they do at all, and if you speak to someone there, you often feel that they are trying to bludgeon you with the corporate line, rather than trying to solve your problem.

Software update for mac mini (late 2006)

What software update do I need to buy for my mac mini (late 2006) so I can update itunes?)

Hello,
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

What is the most recent software update for mac

I have a recent MacBook pro and the most recent software update is over 1gb! I just wondered what it was? M

A really recent MacBook Pro would be running Lion, Mac OS 10.7, and the most recent update is 10.7.3. The delta update from 10.7.2 was found to cause problems and rather than fix them, the update was pulled and Lion users were directed to the "combo" updater which contained all the code necessary to update any Mac running Lion from any previous version of Lion, which is a lot of code, hence the very big download. BTW, 10.7.3 has been problematic for some software so it would be wise to explore the comments and complaints in the Lion forum before you update since you can't go back if you change your mind without having a good backup. Also BTW, this forum is for the Mac Pro; you have a MacBook Pro, which has its own forum and can probably provide you with more useful information.

Software update for Mac App store

I tried to update my software to get the new Mac App store. It said everything was downloaded and installed but I couldn't find the Mac app store anywhere on my macbook pro. I tried to check for software updates so see if I missed anything but i had no more updates available. What can I do?
Thank you

You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 to have it. Mac OS X 10.6 is a paid upgrade.

N95 Software Updater for Mac OS X Tiger and Leopar...

Hi Guys,
I am posting this in preparation for potentially migrating from a Windows PC to a Mac.
I have just got an N95 on T-Mobile, which is fully up to date. Currently, at the moment I have a laptop running Windows XP but I am considering moving to a Max OX Leopard MacBook in a couple of months and I wondering whether there is a "Software Updater" application for Mac OS X?
I am very interested to gain a full understanding of the Mac OS X compatibility. So I'd be very interested to hear anything.
Many thanks in advance.
Neil

i haven't been a windows user since 1998.
and i dont blame nokia at all for not providing a mac tool to update firmware on our phones.
have you ever updated the firmware on ANYTHING before? no? let me give you the run-down:
1. motherboards. they used to provide DOS boot floppies to update motherboard bios, but these days it's invariably a windows gui tool. yeah - when that change happened all i could think was "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont bluescreen on me"!!!. but, thats the world today - so if you want to update the bios on your linux box, you'd better have a windows drive to boot from.
2. DVD/CD drives. again, windows gui tools - but with a higher percentage of exceptions. in some RARE cases you can even do it from linux.
3. mobile phones. well? i've never had a phone before with firmware updates even AVAILABLE. it used to be that you could tell a good motherboard manufacturer from a bad one by looking for firmware updates to its top 3 models. if there were only a few, and only for the first year, that company sucked (think Biostar). if they had ongoing support, frequent and adding features worth wanting over several years, that was a good company (think Asus). so where does that leave us? Nokia provides ongoing firmware updates. THANK YOU NOKIA FOR CARING ENOUGH TO DO IT.
yes. thank's are in order - not complaints. they dont sell windows. they dont sell macosx. they dont sell desktop operating systems at all. they sell phones. phones that have software. they provide ongoing support for these phones in the form of firmware updates. they give these updates freely and ensure that for a large portion of their user base that these updates can be installed from home with well tested code. for the rest of us? either take your phone to a nokia service center (i think the closest one to me is a 9 hour drive) or use a windows box. OR JUST KEEP YOUR OLD FIRMWARE, hell nokia isn't compelled to provide new firmware in the first place. the fast that they do is nice, but your phone does what-it-says-on-the-tin. you don't need to use windows at all if you dont want, you just cant update your firmware.
i am so sick of hearing the same tired complaints that "we'll never forgive you nokia" and "you make me switch to a competitor". its all **bleep**. you bought your nokia phone because of the features listed on the box. they are good features. the phone has these features, just as promised. use them and rejoice.
hrmph.
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

TA21009 does a software update for mac os x delete files

I need to update my mac lap top to update my itunes and want to know if I do will any of my music, pictures, or any other files get deleted in the process?

If you plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard from Tiger, then I would urge you go first erase the drive then install Snow Leopard. To do this you will need to make a backup.
That said a normal "upgrade" installation to Snow Leopard will not erase the drive and will not affect your files. However, a backup first is still recommended. And, to avoid possible problems you need to repair the hard drive and permissions before upgrading.
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

Is there a list of software updates for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar available

Now that Apple has discontinued support for my iMac G3, or rather, software update support for systems running OS 9 through OS X 10.3, is there a User-provided list in this forum that might assist me in downloading updates for Jaguar
Here is the Apple article of declared discontinuation: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5405
Furthermore, is there a location in the System that 1:) download packages are stored, and in theory could be restored from an old disc image of my system, and 2) is there a location in the System that stores a History of OS X installs one by one?
I have a disc image of my system; I just am not sure it has every software update that might be needed.
Thank you for any suggestions.
This system is a iMac G3 128 mb ram, Blue case

I hear crickets! Thanks anyway.

What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

10.5.8 is the last free update available for your system. If you wish to upgrade to newer versions of Mac OS X, you will first need to purchase and install a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is back on the online Apple Store, at least in some countries. In the US:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, you then will have the option to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, if you wish to do so and your system will support it.
Regards.

if I don't find a better solution I'll try your 2nd option but what do you mean by "combo" update?
My understanding is to simply insert the OS 10.5 installation CD, reinstall the OS and the just keep updating it via the OS SSoftware update panel and stop untill I see the scary Java 8 update. Is that what you meant?
While you can do it that way, the combo update picks up operating system updates through a collection of releases. When dealing with operating system upgrades, I've found using the combo updates to be more reliable than Software Update, as sometimes Software Update doesn't apply updates correctly, and weird things can happen. Doesn't happen often though, thankfully.
So the OS X 10.5.5 Combo update contains all updates between 10.5.0 and 10.5. The 10.5.8 combo update contains the updates from 10.5 thru 10.8. Here are the updates:
10.5 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL692
10.8 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
If you go down the combo path, repair permissions before and after doing each update. Then do Software Update for any other non-OS X updates, and don't apply the Java Update 8.

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2 try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

HT1338 Why every time I get an Apple software update for my MacBook Pro click on it but at never opens up it always error

Why when I get a software update for my MacBook Pro i click on it for some reason it never connects to the server I can never get my software update is anyone else having this problem? if so what do I do? i have the 2007 macbook pro Mountain lion 10.8.2

Start up from that Mac OS X 10.4 disc you have. Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down. On the first Installer screen, from the menu bar, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, select your startup volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Run Verify Disk. If it reports a problem, that may be the reason for your long-term difficulties. You hard drive volume has data corruption.
You can try Repair Disk in Disk Utility. However, it would be a very good idea to have a backup of the data on that disk, in case the attempt to repair makes the problem worse.

Migration assistant update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Hello -- I downloaded SNOW LEOPARD successfully that past week. I did a software update as well afterwards.
Now in preparation for upgrading to LION OS X, I read an article that mentions one must make sure to have the MIGRATION ASSISTANT UPDATE for Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed. I am unsure if this was included in the software updates I performed. One would assume it would be there. BUT there is not a detailed listing of what these combination updates include. HOW can I tell if I have the desired version required to continue on to LION?
Another suggestion was for one to perform FIRST AID on the start up disk. It only says to select your Mac HD and then to "verify" ..... do they mean to VERIFY DISK or VERIFY DISK PERMISSIONS. I have on occasion performed a REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS but not the others mentioned. I do not know what the difference is?
THANK YOU

I have the same console mesages repeating ad-nasium as you do. What is interesting is I do have the StartuoItems directory but it is empty. The problem I have is that the log-in window comes up as normal, but I can not type in it for about 5-8 seconds. This has started after the latest updates which you mention. Don't know if this issue is related or not. Have deleted the loginwindows and loginitems preferences to no effect.
