Jeres8860,
While it's not supposed to have remained a problem past 10.3.5, do you have Times RO font installed?

When i try to uninstall Apple software update it brings up a message saying "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program requirement for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I believe i have Windows VISTA. Yes i know its old but i have not had the money or time to update.
I just want itunes installed properly so i can use it for when i have my new phone. please please help i have tried everything it seems like !For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

"Bluetooth: Not Available" problem created by software update; need help please?
I ran a regular software update as prompted by my iMac to get to 10.6.8, and now have "Bluetooth: Not Available" with squiggly line thru it. I've tried an SMC, updated software to 10.8.4...no availability of my Bluetooth to work the magic mouse, or any ability to access Bluetooth in System Preferences...help please?
You say you have "tried an SMC." Reset the SMC nd PRAM again.
Barry
P.S. It is unlikely that the update had anything to do with the missing Bluetooth.

Software Update Server - help please
Hello -
Just set up a 10.6 server.
I can't seem to get the Software Update Service to work. The service starts etc, and downloads all the updates - but when I use software update on a client v10.6 (which has a server account) - it pulls the update down from the internet - or at least seems to.
Is there a way of knowing whether the update is being downloaded from my server or Apples?
Thanks,
AndrewHi Andrew
I've always configured OSX Server regardless of use since 10.3 with DNS Services either configured on the Server itself or on another server. Since 10.5 it's a necessity regardless which 'mode' you chose: Standard; WorkGroup or Advanced.
You might not be aware of this?
In my experience configuring clients to use the local SUS with IP address alone has rarely if ever worked. However that does not mean to say it won't as there have been some who've posted who've used the IP address and it seems to have worked for them?
If you search the relevant boards you'll see what I mean.
If you've tried with the IP address and it has not worked then try with the hostname instead. If DNS Services have been enabled on the Server and if it's using itself for DNS Resolution then clients must be using the Server it for their DNS for this to work.
One way of testing if clients can 'see' SUS is to launch a browser on a client and enter the url you've used in the command.

Software update failed. help please!
I have just tried to install my 10 OS software it was all fine until at the very end of the 2GB update I got the message 'software failed'. I have read this might be because of lack of space but I have checked that and I have enough free space. Now when I attempt to start the update against it only gives me the option to cancel and that button doesn't do anything! Any solutions?
ThanksHere is another post with the similar problem. Follow this one too just in case a solution is found: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Software-Update-Interrupted-...
This is what I said on that post:
I had this happened to me on a brand new Z10. I called Verizon and they informed me this is one of those moments where you have to hate RIM. According to Verizon when you are doing the update process and your phone loses signal, or turns off during the update process, the phone goes into an "unfixable state". The only way to fix the phone according to Verizon is by sending the phone back and getting a new one.
They also said "to make sure when anyone does updates with the phone to do them when you will have the best signal and the phone is plugged in. DO NOT move the phone during the update process to maximize a successful update process." -
I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!
There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X. -

This device does not have a sim card in it. Could this be the reason or am I missing something when I am trying to update.
Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card. -
how can i get ios 7 in my ipad 2? i have tried to update it but in my setting>general there is no icon for software update.so help me please!
If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
