Software Update no longer works (file not found on server)

I just tried the first "Software Update ..." since installing 10.6. There are the 10.6.1 update, a new iTunes, some HP Printer Driver update, and a Remote Desktop Update.
The download fails with
The update “HP Printer Drivers Update” can’t be installed.
The file “HP_Cmd2HP.pkg” couldn’t be found on the server “swcdn.apple.com”.
This error persists. An exact image of it appears at
http://idisk.mac.com/m.crawford-Public/SWUpdate-Fail.png

not sure if this still works but try going to /Library/Updates delete everything then try again downloading your software update.
If you only want the HP driver

Software Update no longer works

My Software Update no longer works. Error message: "Software Update can't connect to the update server." Learned it might be caused by my anti-virus software (Sophos), so I de-installed it. Tried every remedy mentioned on various internet sites, to no avail. Has anyone had and solved this problem

"BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed

Hi everyone,
I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
-PC with and without SATA drives connected
-the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
-4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
-all front and back usb ports
Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
I've you got an idea to help me ?
Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
thanks for your help

HI
I've tried with your file , that's better but not solved
the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
Once again , I'm stuck.
thanks for your help

MAX RT Target Update Error nipal.err file not found

when trying to run a test on the daq assistant, receive error stsing that drivers don't match on RT target and host. When try to reinstall NI-DAQmx 7.2.0 get error file not found ...\NI-PAL\1.8.2.3.0\nipal.err. I checked, the file is not there.

Hello,
I don't understand if you get this when trying to reinstall DAQmx on your computer or in the RT box.
I am trying to download the software to the RT target from the host (MAX Real Time Software Install Wizard).
you might want to try uninstalling all the software and then reinstalling it. If it is reinstalling in your computer, I would first try to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it. If that doesn't fix it, you can try upgrading NI-VISA and that should install the latest version of the driver you are missing. Then install DAQmx
I tried to uninstall and reinstall DAQmx on the RT target but receive the nipal.err file not found error (the file it is looking for should be on the host). I tried to reinstall VISA on the RT Target and also receive a file not found error: error reading from local disk visa-eng.err.
So no luck as of yet with the DAQmx

Software update no longer works after 10.4.9 update

After I applied the 10.4.9 update, using the combo updater and fixing permissions both before and after, Software Update can no longer connect to the Internet. I also ran Onyx, but it didn't make a difference.
Any ideas? Could a network-end firewall make a difference?

I just came across an article on the Unsanity weblog, www.insanity.org/archives/macos_x/shock_andawe.php, entitled: "The Dangers of Updating: Don't Do Anything While Optimizing." It says there is a bug in 10.4.9, of which Apple is aware, that messes up "prebinding" if any other activity is done while the optimizating is going on. Using Mac Helpmate 1.1, I optimized "update prebinding." It characterized that process as "Reassociating applications with their dynamic libraries." It returned a log as long as King Kong's arm saying many times, "environment variable disabled use of prebinding in (file name)." An inability to Download Updates is not a result mentioned in the Unsanity weblog, but it may be a result nevertheless. I have frequently used other applications while downloading updates. If this is the cause of the problem, I still don't know what to do about it. John Nelms, [email protected]

Software Update no longer working

Hi everybody,
It seems that Software Update on my mac has mysteriously stopped working. Running the actual application just gives a message that there aren't any updates available. I checked the log in System Preferences, and it seems that the latest update that I got was the daylight savings time update on March 6th.
On a similar thread, whenever iTunes loads, it says that version 7.1.1 is available, and asks if I want to update. When I click yes, it sends me to Software Update which finds nothing.
Any idea why this would be happening, and how I can fix it? Everything else on my computer seems to be running normally. I'm on an iMac G5 1.9GHz w/ 1.5GB ram, running Mac OS 10.4.8, and I have about 80GB of free space. I'm trying to run updates logged in as admin, so that's not the problem. I've run Disk Utility, and there are no errors with the hard drive. Just to be safe, I ran Repair Permissions.
I've tried installing the updates directly from Apple's site (downloading the PPC versions of the 10.4.8 and 10.4.9 updates and combo updates), but when I try to run the installer, they all have a stop sign with an exclamation mark over the drive with the ever so helpful error message "You cannot install Mac OS X Update Combined (PowerPC) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." The installer's log shows no hints as to what these requirements may be. I downloaded the iTunes 7.1.1 installer from Apple's website, and it fails saying that it can't install for an 'unknown reason.'
Any help would be incredibly appreciated. I've been trying to fix this for days, and I'm about ready to throw this computer out the window. My best guess as to the root of the problem is some software that I've installed, although my system is pretty bare. Beyond the default applications that it came with, I've installed XCode and Microsoft Office 2004, as well as some smaller apps like Adium, Colloquy and Firefox.
Thanks,
Martin.

This error can occur if your hard drive requires repair. Do this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now try installing the updates.

Automatic software updates no longer work

Mac software update no longer works...

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your help!
Recently (sometime in the of past 1-2 months) my iMac has stopped updating. It lets me know there are software updates, correctly displays the updates available, but up on agreeing to the terms, etc., the screen switches to the light colored software update screen and simply freezes. There is no indication the updates are downloading or installing, the screen simply stays blank. I am able to access the pull down menus however can't open anything, reboot or shut down the computer. I have to shut down manually by holding the power button, and upon rebooting nothing has updated.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I have 3.6 & am trying to upgrade to current version. When trying to update didn't work, I trashed 3.6 & tried new install. Keep getting "File not Found" page.

Could not update from 3.6 (said I was not authorized). Tried trashing 3.6 and accompanying files and do a clean install of new version. When I click to download I am redirected to a Mozilla "File not found" page. From there I try clicking on Firefox and downloading the English(US) for OSX file and it directs me back to the same file not found page. I have tried this several times.

Where are you trying to download Firefox from? You should be using [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], the official Firefox Download site.

My iTunes wouldn't update and so I tried to reinstall the new version, my computer restarted and when I clicked on iTunes, it said file not found.

I tried to update my iTunes so I could put some songs onto my ios 7 device and it wouldn't update. I would get a fail message. I went to the apple website and reinstalled it. After my computer restarted, I clicked on iTunes and said file not found. I looked everywhere but could not found a working application link. Help!!

H61MU-E35 (B3) Updating BIOS....File Not Found Error

I have MSI H61MU-E35 (B3) Motherboard with Intel i3 CPU.
I downloaded latest BIOS File 7680vC3.zip (on web page it's says Version: 12.3 from -> -www.msi.com/support/mb/H61MUE35_B3.html#down-bios
Using Windows XP OS From 7680vC3.zip => Extracted E7680vC3.exe => Placed on USB Drive (I did not format USB Pendrive, and used by just making it empty by deleting files) ==> Ran this exe file on the computer where this motherboard is....
Inside Windows XP, when BIOS Update process started, In a green window, it shown me current BIOS old version and New Version side by side. (I did not given much attention to notedown from which number to which number it's updating).
In Windows XP after BIOS Process completed, it restarted computer (I kept USB File as it in the computer as I had read that, I have to keep USB in computer after restart).
When computer restarted...nothing came on the screen and just blank screen for long time and on the right side on screen bottom corner only letter like: A2 stayed for long long time. I waited for 15 minutes but nothing was happening except blank screen...
So, I restarted computer....and kept USB as it is in the computer....but Nothing comes on the screen...
After I concluded that, something is wrong, to resolve the issue...
--- What Try and Experiments I have done ----------------------------------------------------------------
(1) I placed Restarted computer without USB: and Message comes on the screen is:
BIOS Update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive and reset system.
(2) I refered some forums, and also contacted MSI Support. As suggested, I formatted USB Drive with FAT32 and placed E7680IMS.C30 file (only one file) on USB placed in computer and started computer.. Now Message is coming:
Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
Note that: E7680IMS.C30 File was given to me by MSI Support Staff as I did not kept Original files during formatting USB PenDrive.
But computer is not looking for .C30 Rom File, Computer is looking for .BIN File
(3) I have remove the battery and waited for 5 min. and placed again, to reset BIOS, but not difference on result or on message...
Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN
Result: Just Blank Screen with A2 text on right side bottom corner, No other message
In some other same issue post, they recommand to change ROM File name to: EIVB.BIN which worked for others, so I also tried and renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN, in this case, I was able recreate original Issue: When computer boots, Screen stays completely Blank, and on the right side bottom corner, only 2 digit tect comes is: A2. Computer does not give any other message and nothing happens...even I waited for 30 minutes...
Also, by looking at USB Pendrive light, I can tell that, motherboard is reading file on the Pen Drive...
Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to E7680IMS.BIN
Result: Message comes on the screen: Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
(5) What I am thinking is: When motherboard power-ups, it's giving me two different type of Valid message based on if USB is in the computer or not, based on if file name is .BIN or not, so I believe motherboard is still not dead and there are hope to feed the file which motherboard is looking for. But issue how to find what specific file which it's looking for... Even sometime I have seen at screen right side bottom area, 2 Digit numbers are changing just like system is doing internal healthcheck before booting up...
(6) Note that, I would like to put old version file on USB to feed, but one of the biggest issue with MSI is, once you download EXE from their website, to Extract EXE file content it needs to be run on the same motherboard computer, so in my case, if your motherboard is not in bootable cituation then you can not extract any other BIOS File to try...
Please help me...by havin this computer down....I am suffering everyday...
(By profession, I am electronics Engineer and have worked with programming Microcontroller and bootloaders, but in this case, I do not have SPI Programmer to program BIOS chip externally.)

Thank you flobelix and Nichrome.
Quick Result Summary: 128MB USB Key formatted FAT32 with HP Tool, made MS-Dos Bootable and placed EIVB.BIN file given by flobelix, but final result is: Screen comes Blank and only shows "A0" Code at right side bottom corner. nothing else.
Detail
Since Flobelix proviced ROM BIN File, I was too exicited to try it out and here is what I did...
(1) As per Nichrome link for HP USB Format Tool, I installed it on "Win XP" machine, and formatted 128MB USB key by selecting "FAT32" and selected option to make "MS-DOS Bootable" and shown Win98 source files as per the instruction.
-128MB USB drive made bootable with FAT32.
(2) I downloaded EIVB.rar given by flobelix and extracted and copied EIVB.BIN file on USB root.
Inserted USB in MSI and powered up...
As soon as I give power: Imidiately one normal beep and Screen comes completly Dark Blank. No message about "File not found". only at right side bottom of screen, it shows "A0".
I inserted USB key in each and every USB slot, but result is same: Screen stays Blank and on right side corner only "A0" letter.
I given around 3-5 minutes time to see something changes on screen, but no change.
- If I power-up computer without connecting any USB Drive: then message comes on screen that: Bios Update has not completed, please insert USB Key and Reset System.
- On USB Key, If I put ROM File with any other name (except EIVB.BIN) then Message comes: Updating BIOS... File Not Found...
- I have removed battery to give a try for resetting BIOS, but not change.
Question:
(1) Is it possible that, motherboard is looking for specific version of File or some different version of file ? and just staying silent and not complaining for existing EIVB.BIN ?
Here is I experiment: I simply created empty text file (0 Byte) on USB Drive and given name EIVB.BIN and booted up computer and same result: Blank Screen and just "A0" on right side bottom corner.
So, it tells me that, when power is given, the program which executes in motherboard for BIOS, it is not able to identify real or fake EIVB.BIN. I think, it's looking for some specific file and when not found, it's getting confuse on what to do....and not saying anything on the screen....
Has anyone old version BIN file of H61MU-E35 (B3) ?
Is there any trick so I can download older version Packaged EXE from MSI website and extract it ? I can give a try....

File Not Found / Fade Update Failed Error -43

I have been getting two errors all of a sudden when instigating playback in the Arrange window in Logic 9.
File Not Found Result Code -43
and
Fade Update Field Error -43
I have googled information on this and have tried the following:
Used "Save As" and changed the name of the project file
Removed automation at the start of 3 tracks where i have automated in a gradual increase in volume
Gone to the Audio menu and selected "Delete Fade Files"
None of the above have worked. I have not used the crossfade tool to add a fade to the start or end of a track, i have only created a fade effect by using Volume Automation.
There seems to be other people having the same problem but i haven't found any with the -43 error code.
Does anyone know what that code relates to?
Have you any suggestions as to how i can get rid of this error?
Thanks

I recently had issues with a "File Not Found" error, though it was a different code #. (-61, or something similar.)
I was trying to move a track from my old G4 and work on it on my Macbook Pro laptop.
The problem turned out to be related to file permissions.
Logic is not a network-friendly program, and OS X is hyper sensitive to permissions, so to access a file that was originally stored on another computer, I had to do two things:
"Get Info" for the drive (it was not a system drive) that the original file was stored on, and check the box at the bottom:
"Ignore Permissions on This Volume"
From the user account on that computer, I then copied the file from the internal drive to an external firewire drive which also had "Ignore Permissions" checked off in the "Get Info" window.
I could then access the file from my user account on the laptop.
Once I did those steps, the "File Not Found" error no longer appeared.

File Not Found bug with long audio file names?

Hello -
Crazy problem. I'll probably post way too much information, but I want to make sure I cover everything. Help!
We run Logic Studio/Logic 8 on multiple 10.4.10/11 computers - G5 Power PC, new intel iMac, intel mini, G4 laptops. We are working on an audio post job using very messy OMFs that were prepared in Final Cut. We had problems opening them in Logic, so we opened the OMFs in Soundtrack Pro, exported to AAFs, and opened those in Logic.
The sessions look fine in Logic now (all files relinked), and the session is consolidated - ie, all files are local/in the project folder's Audio Files folder. I see this in the Audio Bin and can confirm in the finder.
Here's the problem. With the sessions closed:
(A) I renamed the project folder by adding an asterix to the front of the folder name, and changed the color label of the folder in the finder in order to mark it as the original folder.
(B) I made a copy of the whole folder (session files & audio files) in order to have something to work from and not mess up the original. When I opened up the session in the new folder, it immediately said audio file not found, do you want to search, locate, or skip. It couldn't find the file in a search, and obviously when you skip, then skip, then skip all, it opens the session with the data (regions are there but grayed) - so all the audio files are orphaned.
So when I try to locate the file, here's what happens. . . The audio file names are really horrendously long (must be some artifact of working in Final Cut). We're talking: "1087-001A SERG AIRPORT WAITING * 1-1channel_00044D02AA9- 363A-4CC5-A86B-0741023DB062.aif" - one bazillion characters.
So the audio file locate dialog box truncates the name of the file that's missing by using the first 20 characters or so, and then a "#" character, and then some random string of 3-6 characters that is not at all related to the file name. So who knows which of the 4-30 SERG AIRPORT files is supposed to go there!
Obviously if this were a 2 minute session file of 10 files or something, we could figure it out and relink everything, but we're talking about a feature-length session with a bazillion files.
(C) Okay, so I tried to open the original session, in the folder that I had renamed by prefacing the original name with an * and changing the color of the folder. But I started to get the file not found errors. OH GEEZ. So I didn't save. I re-renamed the folder by taking out the * and changing the color label back. Then I tried to open the session again, but I still kept getting the file not found problem.
I have to stress that I didn't move any of the audio files, or change ANYTHING in the session.
So I thought - is all of this because I tried to open a new instance of the session, in a new instance of the folder? Is it because I renamed the folders? Normally you can rename folders, even session names, no problems, and Logic corrects the paths to the audio files!
(D) So, crap. I reopened the original AAF file in logic and saved it in a new place. I closed the file, reopened it, closed, reopened, just to make sure everything was working! I checked the location of the files in the audio bin, and everything was great.
(E) So now I copied the folders to an external hard drive to be able to work on another computer. But when I tried to open the sessions on a new computer. . . You guessed it, nada.
So. . . the questions are:
(1) Those original sessions that now will not work - is there anything I can do to recover their functionality? We had work in there that I would prefer not to lose. . .
(2) Is this a known bug having to do with the length of the Audio File names?
(3) How do we get over this? My only idea so far is we could select all in a working logic session and say "Audio Tracks names to regions" or something and will that change the actual file names on teh computer? Then hopefully things would work on mulitple systems. . .
Okay. HELP! Thanks!
Polly

OK I got it.
It is necessary to use prefix "file:///" before file name.
Thanx everyway.
