Software update has screwed up my computer

hello,
i have a mac ibook g3, i installed os x tiger onto it, maybe 4 months ago. A week ago I ran software update from the apple icon, downloaded the software which included a mac os x update, my computer has since gone crazy, i tunes wont open, neither will safari or skype...im very confused, my mac info says i have os x 10.4, i moved to Japan about 1 month ago and didnt bring the tiger disk with me or i would try and re install it, is there any advice you could give me...many thanks

Software Updates Compliance Report for Specific Computer - DatePosted

Hello, I am using the default report to know the Software updates compliance state for a specific computer. The business requirement is to get date the software update has been posted in the same report. So the report should contain columns as follows:
Title
Update Class
Bulletin ID
Date Released/Date Posted
Article ID
Vendor
Approved
Installed
Is Required
Unique Up[date ID
The default report shows up all the columns except the date posted. Please help me with a query with which we can get date released with all the other columns.
Appreciate your help!

HT4623 What if your software updates has been deleted

What if my software updates has been deleted

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 on your iPad then you can only update via your computer's iTunes, as described half-way down the page that you posted from.
To update via a computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > 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 sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, 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
Your iPad will be updated to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for a first gen iPad is 5.1.1, and for other iPad is iOS 6.1.3

Downloading software update 10.6.8 causes computer to get stuck at blue screen

All of a sudden my Macbook Pro would not load past the white apple loading screen; so I ran disk utility, verified and repaired my HD, and still nothing. I then re downloaded the OS X 10.6.3 on my laptop, and got it to boot up and sign me in; when I signed in, the computer was behaving VERY slowly, and none of my applications would open.
So I browsed the suggestions on the support pages, and tried ALL of them to no avail.
I did an erase and re-install of my hard drive; I completely wiped it, then just re installed the original OS from the disk it came with, 10.6.3. I then downloaded the software updates, and upon restarting my computer, it was stuck on the blue screen. Apparently this is a startup disk problem I've heard?
After two more times of wiping the HD and reinstalling the operating system again (several times of which the installation failed), I'm now running on 10.6.3, and terrified to update my software for fear of having it get my computer stuck AGAIN.
Is there something wrong with my startup disk? My hard drive? the software update?

Probably the logic board, maybe a drive problem, but you did a verify (did it come up with errors in red font?)and disk repair using the disk utility on the install disk and ran it till it came up with this drive appears ok in green font?
Did you run a permissions repair as well?
You can bring it to an Apple store genius bar (make an appointment) and they will diagnose it for free.

How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

It will not download if you already have it.
Just to be 100% clear …
Look in /Applications for "Install OS X Mavericks"
Use the Finders Go menu > Applications. To open it.
You may have an Applications folder in your Home directory too, it shouldn't be in there but it is possible.
Also try Spotlight to see if it can find that filename.
Can you also tell us what system you have?
Apple menu > About this Mac > more info button… What is the Model (under the Overview tab).
10.9 doesn't install on all systems, so it could explain why you can't get it, however it usually displays a dialog stating that fact.

Software Update has broken my system

Software Update has broken my system so that I can no longer restart or shutdown normally. All attempts to restart or shutdown hang the system with a grey screen and a Software Update menu on the menu bar. The menus can be pulled down, but the menu items, like "restart", are not functional. I have to use the control/command/power keys to force a restart, and then command-R after the chime to get to a screen where I can shutdown.
I have just done a complete reinstall of the operating system (10.7.5), with no change in this behavior. I have also tried to do a manual installation of the latest security update, but after hitting the restart button, the same Software Update screen appears whether I have actually used Software Update or not. How do I go about nudging my system out of this behavior?

The startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk
If repairs are necessary, restart while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access ML recovery / Disk Utility. OS X: About OS X Recovery
If the startup disk does not need repairing, start up in Safe Mode
Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient. When you're in Safe Mode you should see Safe Mode in red top right side of the desktop.
From there click the Apple menu icon top left in the screen. Select Restart from the drop down menu.

I downloaded the os 6 by wifi and when the phone restarted it told me to plug into itunes. I did that and the iphone software update has been stuck on '70 hours remaining' for the last 3 hours. Help!

I downloaded the os 6 by wifi and when the phone restarted it told me to plug into itunes. I did that and the iphone software update has been stuck on '70 hours remaining' for the last 3 hours. Help!

it says " itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes" so i restore it and after it gets finished it says " the iphone :iphone" could not be restored. the device cannot be found" but ive used this itunes since i got this phone.

Installing Software Update has been running for over an hour now, anyone else having the same issue?

Installing Software Update has been running for over an hour, anyone else have the same issue?

Hopefully it's been resolved by now - I have no idea how large each one of those files are. The progress bar tells you; FWIW, I only download one at a time - makes it easier and faster and you can choose to do the next one when you have time.

I need to delete programs that have been duplicated after the software update has been done. The computer won't delete them. Anyone else having this problem and if so, how do I delete the old program after it's been updated.

After upgrading software, it appears the old software isn't deleted. My computer hard drive is almost full so I need to delete a ton off of my computer. When checking the software that can be deleted I noticed I can the old software hasn't been deleted. How can a person do this? Any suggestions on how to quickly dump some programs.

Sig is right — reclaiming space on your hard drive should be a matter of looking for the largest files you can delete, not starting with applications. I have 200+ applications on my hard drive, and altogether they occupy less than 14GB of space. Just a handful of them — Acrobat Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Adobe Media encoder — are larger than 500MB apiece, and if I disposed of all of those, I'd only get 5.6GB back. My Utilties folder contains 78 apps, and it only amounts to 1.1 GB.
If you have any feature-length movies on your hard drive, those should be the first things you trash or move to an external drive.

Epson printer software update 2.11 crashing my computer!

Hi there
Thanks in advance for the help. I have been trying for a few days to download and install the latest software update called "epson printer software update 2.11"
It will not finish installing and ends up crashing my computer. I have OS 10.7.4.
Additionally my Epson Stylus NX420 will not print from my computer. I get an unknown error message. The printer does work however. I can make copies and scan. The Network diagnostics from the printer states that there are no issues.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem and after untold hours working with Apple & Epson we got to the problem with the Apple software update 2.14. I was told I had to decide if I wanted my 9900 to work or my office printer (Workforce 610) to work. I was incredulous that I would be forced to make this choice but of course chose to get my 9900 back up and running. This fix was given to me 3 weeks ago tomorrow and we still no resolution from Apple / Epson? Are you kidding me? I am considering throwing my Epson 610 in the trash and buying another brand of office printer so I will have no conflict with my 9900. Seems like a pretty stupid solution I must admit.
I called Epson back again on Friday and got a horrible run-around. The guy from the Pro Graphics group (techs for the professional series printers) insisited I needed to talk to the consumer printers group. Once I got to them it was clear they had no clue about this issue. I left the phone totally frustrated and angry. I ended up emailing a very capable guy from the Pro Graphics group I had worked with 3 weeks ago and he was nice enough to reply. The answer however was there is still no fix to the Apple update. At t his point I am not sure how to know if the update has been fixed. The message I get from Epson is just keep checking back. The problem is that it seems few at Epson are aware of the problem so you have to go through a long explanation only to hope you find someone that is aware.
Nothing like running a printing company and telling your customers you cannot print their invoice because your printer doesn't work! Thanks Apple for the quick fix on this!

Iphoto software update has caused it to crash with no access to iPhoto?

We have a Macbook Pro (March 2011) and a week ago iPhoto said it needed to do an update, it got to 100% of 9 steps then just crashed. Force quite after several hours did not help and I can now not get access to iPhoto as it keeps trying to update and gets to 81% of step 5 of the 9 steps, then crashes again. I have read that I may need to uninstall Iphoto then reinstall it using start up disks, however we never got these with laptop as Iphoto etc was already loaded on. I do not wish to pay for Iphoto when there appears to be a fault either with laptop or software unecessarily and start something which may not be required.
Computer says all software updates are done and Iphoto software page says we are up to date, so don't even know why update is still trying to run?
Has this happened to anyone else, and is there any quick remedies?
Many thanks

I have been having the same problem with my iphoto
this appears everytime I open my iphoto. I just installed Lion and updated to the new sotware. All my photos are still in the computer and I am able to upload them to sites, but I cannot open them in iphoto. There are two users on my mac and the other user can open iphoto. I don't know if it is because I have over 5,000 photos that are in my library and it can not handle all of the pictures. Previously I have had problems with iphoto crashing, but never has this message appreaed and i have always been able to go back to my pictures. Thank you!

Software Update has stalled after restart

Updates for Safari 6.2.5, iTunes 12.1.2, and Security Update have stalled after restarting the computer on Mini i7 10.8.5. – the progress bar hangs at ~75% through. What should I do?

Unfortunately, I am past being able to do that b/c the computer has restarted and all I have is the little 'Installing Software Update' window on a gray hatched background without any buttons or controls to use. I tried send a photo of the screen but now iPhoto on my MBPi7 10.8.5 crashes after failing to load the images from my iPhone 5c. The MBP has 'successfully' installed the same updates I am having trouble with on my Mini – something is really fracked up with these updates!
What shall I do with my Mini? – I do not know if force power down in mid-update will destroy my OS and data.

Latest Software update has shut down my mac - cant boot it up anymore

can anybody shed any light on this issue - i have just (stupidly) run the latest software update (about an hour ago) and now my macbook pro wont boot past the grey screen, it restarted the 1st time but no softwarew would work- then i restarted and now it wont get past the greay screen with the apple on and spinning wheel- ive tried booting of the install cd (it just spits out the cd)- safe booting, reseting the pram -and am now considering throwing it out of the window as i have deadline and have run out of idea's - it may have got dangerously low on disk space around the update - but it looked like it had at least a gig on it can anyone PLEASE help....

Hi exit23, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately I've read of this happening before, it's usually Disk or OS corruption that leads to it.
And iGB free space is nothing these days, definitely dangerous territory, less the 10 GB is really slowing OSX down to a crawl.
Apparently you don't have a bootable backup!?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
But you'll likely have to clear some space ASAP.
Do you have another Mac and both with Firewire?

Security update has messed up my computer

installed and kept package for security update a few hours ago
then restarted and now the finder won't load, it just keeps refreshing there is no way to access any function to uninstall or do anything
restarts don't work completely unplugging doesn't work
i'm trying not to freak out

First, I want to thank everybody who wrote this weekend. I awarded helpful points but then it stopped giving me the option and I didn't want to award all the solved points to just one person so if you have suggestions I will follow up on that. (Thanks to whoever took the swear out of my subject line, although it expressed the feeling at the time--you don't think installing a security update is going to be the cause of a meltdown.)
Here is how it ended up. I created another boot drive on an external so I could backup the rest of my files/media and try things from there. I opened in safe mode and even there the finder didn't work. I ran disc utility and then Discwarrior. Rebuilt the directory, repaired permissions, tested the device. Both Discwarrior and Mac disc utility reported the drive is failing. After that, the finder never did return to operation so I did an archive and install, and then restored to 10.4.9. The finder came back, my settings were still there, all my music was stil connected, and so far I haven't had to input a serial number but I haven't tried all the applications yet. The disc is still failing however, and so I am not going to use that computer until I can clone that drive and replace it. Any cloning/ghosting help/links/suggestions would be appreciated.
Oh, one interesting discovery during this. Even though the Finder didn't work, software update came up yesterday and I found I could actually use Safari and that would semi-launch the Finder to get to system preferences (I even tried running Tinker Tool to try and relaunch the Finder with no luck of course). Couldn't launch any other applications though.
In all, I think the drive was going bad first--hard to say though because I wasn't having any issues up to the security update install. It's a good warning to others to do the precautionary steps that all of you suggested. I got too ccomfortable because in the 13 years of owning several Macs and then working with a couple dozen every day (for video editing) I never had a meltdown with the OS--to not see the Finder take hold is disturbing.
I am very happy I still have use of this drive, but I don't trust it and will be replacing it soon.
Thanks again. Can always count on good souls at Apple Discussions to give their best.
