I disconnected my iPhone in the middle of an iTunes update. Now it wont run properly what do I do? I was working online and I recieved a pop up from iTunes stating that there was an harwared update for my iPhone. I had it plugged up for a while , long enoung for me to watch a tv show have dinner and come back. I thought the update was complete and came back to the computer and unplugged it. The next morning I saw a picture of aUSB cord and the iTunes icon. I have no use of my phone and cannot get access to emails, internet contacts..nothing . Help !
Well it should NEVER be unplugged when doing something.
It actually had not installed the software at that stage, it had been copied over to the iPhone, it was being checked and then it would be installed.
You need to connect your iPhone to the computer at home and hope that you can install the software again and then restore your backup.
If you install iTunes at work you may be able to Restore the software but you will most likely lose the content on your iPhone as you do not have a backup to restore on that computer, or all your media / apps. -
I did software update, now java in Safari doesn't work.
I ran software update, now Java in Safari and Firefox doesn't work. How do I fix it?
I already tried that.
I am running OS 10.6.8.
I did a "normal" software update (under the Apple icon).. didn't update the OS to a higher level, it's still 10.6.8. But now certain websites tell me that Java is missing or not working. When I go to the Java site, they say that you can only download the newest Java for OS 7 or higher... that Java is automatically part of OS 6 and should have automatically updated when I do a Mac software update.
Java used to work. Now that I've "updated" my Mac software, it doesn't work. And there's no way to download and install Java (according to them).
It's a never ending circle with no solution. -

HT5766 Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
Hello,
Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (Mac OSX 10.8.3) this information is no longer available in software updates listing you get if you click on the Software Update menu item from the Apple menu.
I found the download size (often hundreds of megabytes for an individual update and sometimes a set of updates might amount to a few gigabytes) to be very helpful, and now that it seems no longer available (I can't even see it on the web page I came to for more information, thinking the download size would surely be specified there), it is frustrating. My current example is iTunes 11.0.3
I would greatly appreicate having this information back in the software updates listing, but since it is no longer available there, and I don't know where else to find it, if anybody can enlighten me to its whereabouts, I'd be grateful.
Thanks and cheers!stewedapples wrote:

just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error;
now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes.
how do i resolve this ?By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
Click "Choose Library ..."
You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
Does your iTunes library open without the error? -

Software Update, Now I can't run my Aperture 3!
I recently backed up my Aperture 3 Library, then ran a Software Update on my imac. Now when I try to open Aperture, it says: "Your library needs to be upgraded to work w/ this version of Aperture." I just upgraded to Aperture 3 last year. What can I do to use my current program w/out upgrading or reinstalling?
Thanks in Advance!
MCH3.1.3 was for better integration to Lion update. below is the release notes for it as to what it upgraded.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518
Any update is a minor increment and fixes bugs and can provide more minor features. This is at no cost to you just need the internet and update the aperture though your computer may have already uploaded the latest above patch and installed it and it may have been a while since you opened aperture. In this case by following the instructions and upgrade the library it moves it to the new version. -

Problem with software update - now can't log on to administrator account
Hello -
I updated software yesterday and didn't pay attention to what was updating. I always just install the updates when they come up.
Now I can't login to my administrator account or change the password. I could log into another account, but iTunes won't stay open. It opens for about 10 seconds then closes.
So I'm assuming that the updates were a mac OSX update and an iTunes update.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix?
Is there anyway to "undo" the most recent update?
Any help would be appreciated.
-jamendanHi jamendan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X 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 Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing. -
Upgraded Software update - now cable doesn't work!
I went to use the software update today when I was connected to me PC. It told me there was an update to the software and to remove my phone and USB connection while it downloaded and installed. I did this and went through the update which apprently worked fine but needed to also install a cable driver update, did this as advised then tried to reconnect my phone but the PC just doesn't see it anymore.
Thanks Nokia.
My PC is running Windows XP. Software update is now 1.3.60en
Phone is N73
April 07 - just got an E65 - not too bad so far.Just my luck!! Fortunatey its not too big a problem as I have damaged my phone prior to this and am awaiting a replacement from the insurance people. I was updating to see what the update offered and if it sorted some of the issues I have with it as it stands. As for "dont fix it if it aint broke" I have never had this phone working in the way that it should. the N73 has been a big dissopointment and now I hear that it has been discontinued, no surprises there!
It disgusts me that companies like Nokia release software before it has been fully tested just because its cheaper to let the paying public do the tests and give them a greater spectrum of results. Souns to me like they're basing their business strategy on Microsoft.

ITunes 10.1.1 Updated, Now iTunes wont open!
I have recently by way of software updater, updated iTunes to the latest 10.1.1 and now iTunes will not open up on my mac at all. I have never had a problem with this program before. Are they any ways to correct this problem such as downloading the update directly from apple, and if that is the case do I have to uninstall iTunes first or will the downloaded file from apple directly overwrite the previouse problem update file to get me back up and running?
Make sure this isn't a problem with an older app that you used with iTunes, try the steps here -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

Just did software update, now mail won't open!!
I just ran a software update and now may mail application won't open. These are the five updates that I installed:
Backup 3.1.1
iPhoto 6.0.6
Airport Base Station 5.1
iTunes 7.2
Mac OSX Update Combined (PowerPC) 10.4.10
I don't think I needed to install that last one, about the Power PC....Anyone know if that is enough to keep my Mail App. from openenig? I can still check my e-mail via .Mac, just not through my Mail Appliacation.Did you download the correct Combo for PPC, since it
appears you do not have an Intel Mac?
If the correct Combo version, then I think you should
run Disk Repair from the original Tiger install disk
to check out your hard drive.
How much free disk space do you have on your hard
drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition?
Ernie
Ernie,
thanks for the suggestions. I'm not quite the Mac expert I'd like to be, so bear with me please. How do I know if I downloaded "the correct Combo for PPC, since it appears you do not have an Intel Mac?" Wouldn't my computer automatically download the correct one? How can I check if it's the right one? ALSO,
How do I "run Disk Repair from the original Tiger install disk to check out your hard drive"? Do I need to insert the original startup disk again, or can I do it without it?
When doing info on my mac, it says I only have 6.1 GB left available. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!
