Software Update (not automatically starting)

I have checked "Daily" in the Software Update Prefs Pane, but since recently Software Update app doesn't start up automatically. (it does manually)
which files should be deleted or other solutions to have Software Update functioning again after shutdown automatically
TIA
M

Software Update will not start immediately upon login, but usually 10-15 minutes after.
If it's not starting at all regardless of the time, the file to delete is com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist found in your home/library/preferences file.

  • Why is the software update not showing up in general settings?

    Why does my software update not show up in general settings?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Why does the software updating not work

    My system refuses to perform a software update. It starts to scan, then only displays a very short blue section on the progress display and then finally quits by refereing to an apparent network problem. However, network checks show that everything is OK.
    Any ideas what it couod be or how to overcome the problem?
    At the same time, also Safari plays up. When changing websites, in many cases they either don't open or it takes a very long time to start opening. When I disconnect from WLAN and then reconnect, the pages start to load.

    Many thanks.
    Itunes can not update due to an Invalid signature
    That one suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download via Apple Software Update.
    Try instead updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • ADFS 2.0 service does not automatically start after reboot

    Hello,
    We have two ADFS 2.0 servers in a farm.  Any time these servers reboot, the ADFS service does not automatically start, even though the service is set to auto start.  If I manually start the service it starts within 10 seconds.
    The error in the logs show:
    A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service to connect.
    The AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service failed to start due to the following error:
    The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    But after the reboot is completed, I can manually start the service with no problems.  Again, this ONLY happens on restart.  I've searched the forums and found potential solutions for people who have consistent issues with starting ADFS every time.
    Any ideas?

    UPDATE - I built a 3rd ADFS server and was unable to reproduce the problem, until...
    I went in to the service properties of ADFS and saw that even though I specified a Log On As account during the ADFS wizard, it changed itself back to "Network Service".  I re-entered our ADFS service account username and password, it was
    accepted, and I rebooted.  On the next reboot, the service did not start automatically (with the same errors as the other ADFS servers), but I was able to manually start it.
    I then went to the original ADFS server having the problem, switched it to use "Network Service", rebooted, and the service started up properly on reboot.  I then changed it back to the named domain service account, and the issue came right
    back.  There are no other errors in the System Log indicating a problem with anything else.
    So my guess is that something is happening to prevent the service from starting with the named Domain account on server reboot.  But what?

That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
    As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2  (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
    Please help.

  • TS1394 Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)

    Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)
    Hi, I am currently using Snow Leopard 10.6 on my iMac. I opened iTunes and was told there was an update available so I clicked the button to download it. This obviously opened up the 'download' screen with blue bar. The blue bar does not move and the message comes up that the download failed. I have tried troubleshooting, but the message I get is that I am not connected to the internet - which I am.
    Please help.

    Check your iTunes version, it's reporting v10.6.3 here on 10.6.8 and no updates required.
    You should be able to download it from here

    Hello.  I am receiving "error codes" when trying to dowload songs.  It charges me but the songs never download and I have restarted itunes and it does not automatically start downloading as instructed online.  Help?

    I don't know exactly what they said b/c they are nolonger on my screen.  It said something to the effect of "incomplete dowload, there was an eror during the dowload of *Song*".
    The songs purchased were showing in my purchased list with an "exclamation point" by them, which I believe indicates the download was incomplete.  I restarted iTunes and the songs are no longer on my "Purchased list".
    I was still charged after restarting iTunes

  • Airport 2005.001 Update not automatically selected in Software Update Pgm

    This post was originally posted in the Tiger Installation and Updates forum. See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1403953#1403953
    It was suggested that this post be posted in the Airport forum. Perhaps some one knows the answer.
    I just upgraded to 10.4.3. It went smoothly! But I needed to fix file permissions after the update using the Disk Utility.
    Then I ran software update. Software Update now shows the following updates:
    iTunes Phone Driver
    Quicktime 7.0.3
    iTunes 6.0.1
    Airport 2005.001
    iPod Updater 2005-11-17
    Security Update 2005.009
    I never saw the Airport Update and the new Security Update until after I upgraded from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. (I suspect both are related to 10.4.3).
    What is strange is that all the updates are checked when I run Software Update EXCEPT the Airport Update.
    Why isn't the Airport 2005.001 update checked like all the other updates? Should I be concerned? Should I manually check this Airport Update and update the software?
    Rob

    You are correct when you say it is strange that the AirPort update was not automatically check in SU, I also observed this. Just check and go.

  • Software Update Not Working Automatically

    Since I upgraded my OS X from Tiger to Leopard, Software Update could not have been working automatically even if it is set to check updates daily or weekly, and the machine is turned on at the scheduled time with an Internet connection. Well, by clicking on "Check Now," I can manually check to see if any updates are available, though.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Thank you for your response, Ahsan.
    But, Software Update should run automatically according to your setting, whether or not any updates are available. If nothing is available, Software Update displays a "Last check" date and time, and says, "No updates are available" or something like that. In fact, when I just manually hit "Check Now" button, Software Update did find "Time Machine and AirPort Updates v1.0" published on 3/19/08 while I had set it in the preference "weekly" almost two weeks before.
    Strange, isn't it?
