Software update trying to force downgrade

I'm running Mavericks 10.9.5, fully patched until this happened, on a Mac Mini server 5.3. I recently successfully updated to Server 3.2.1. Software Update has been nagging me for the last few days to 'update' to Server 2.2.4. It won't go away, even if I chose install (which rightly says oops, and aborts).
Does anyone know how to get this nag to the knackers' yard? Thanks in advance.

Thank you. That sorted it.
I use this machine as my OS X archive, so I've got masters available to go back to old versions of OS X for testing, etc.. I zipped the old copies of server, which did the trick.

  • Apple Software Update trying to connect to IP address

    Hello;
    ZoneAlarm alerted me today to the fact that the Apple Software Update program (C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\SoftwareUpdate.exe) was attempting to access IP address 89.149.169.24. This IP address belongs to Akamai Technologies. Anybody have any idea why this software would be attempting to contact Akamai? Thanks in advance.

    If you Google Amakai iTunes you will see why.

  • Siri not hearing me - software updated tried powering down, tried disabling siri and enabling - nothing working- volume is on - not muted

    siri does not respond to my voice
    microphone appears but does not hear - line across bottom remains still
    volume is on, software is up to date, tried powering on and off, tried disabling and enabling Siri several times
    further suggestions?
    thanks

    couple of things to try -
    settings, general, restrictioons.  siri turned off?
    if you have a set of i phone earplugs (that also have a mike), does she hear that?  (or any other plug in mike?)
    but first - do a full reboot.  press and hold both the home and sleep buttons until you see the apple logo.  ignore the red slider.
    Do any other apps that need the mike work?  like facetime or sound recorder?

  • My iPad won't open itunes. I have software update iOS 7.1.1 trying to download for days. Is this the problem or something else?

    My iPad  won't open itunes. Wifi ok safari working. Software update trying to download for days 7.1.1. Is this the problem? How to fix?

    If Safari is working otherwise and you can log onto other websites, try clearing Safari and reset your iPad. That might help with the Twitter app as well.
    Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • N82: Nokia Software Update doesn't find the phone

    Hello, I am trying to update the firmware of my Nokia N82, but I get an error message from Nokia Software Updater saying that it doesn't find the phone. I find that strange as Nokia PC Suite indeed finds the phone. The icon on the taskbar says that "AndersMobil is connected".
    I've noticed that if I let Nokia PC Suite run at the same time as Nokia Software Updater, this icon shows that the phone is being connected and disconnected several times while Nokia Software Updater tries to find the phone, something that might indicate that the two programs cannot be run at the same time? I tried to run Nokia Software Update alone, but still the program doesn't find the phone.
    In Windows Hardware Manager (or Units manager, not sure of the english translation) of Windows XP, "Nokia GSM Phone USB Modem" gives the following error message: "The unit is not working as it should as Windows cannot load the necessary drivers for this unit (Code 31)." Under "Portable Devices" in Hardware Manager/(or Units manager?) the error message "This unit cannot start. (Code 10)" appears for the unit "AndersMobil".
    I followed the guidelines on the internet reinstalling Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater, removing and reinstalling the drivers, but Nokia Software Update still doesn't find the phone, and the same error messages appears in Hardware/Units manager every time.
    What do I do?
    Regards,
    Anders
    By the way, I sent an e-mail to Nokia support about this but they still haven't answered although it's been a long time since.

    I don't know if that problem might be interconnected with the other in some way or not.

  • Software Update wont check for new software.

    Software Update wont check for new software.

    No - I'm on 10.6.8 and it functions normally, though there are now very few actual updates. If there are no updates the progress bar should still complete in around 3 minutes and announce that there are no updates, so you've got something hanging somewhere. If it's still stuck hit command-option (alt)- escape, select Software Update and hit Force Quit. You could try it again (I should reboot first) in case it's a one-off glitch, but if it still sticks force quit it again.
    The best suggestion I can offer is to apply the combo updater anyway in the hope that it may over-write whatever is causing the problem.

  • Stopping software update

    I have tried to install a HP printer on SL and each time software update tries to find the drivers.
    The problem is each time I re-boot, software update pops up asking me if I want to download and install the HP drivers. If I say yes, it tries and once again can’t find them and so the process goes on and on.
    How do I permanently stop software update trying to install the Hp drivers?

    HI,
    Drag this file to the Trash.
    com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag the file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
    See if that helps...

  • ?Virus ?Malware in my Software Update

    Hi Guys,
    Being a little cautious - I like to run Little Snitch on my MacBook to see the network connections each program makes.
    I've just noticed Software Update trying to connect to:
    1) swscan.apple.com (to be expected)
    2) b.scorecardresearch.com (??why ?malware)
    3) ds.serving-sys.com (??why ?malware)
    If I block access to these domains (2 & 3) using Little Snitch - the software update still appears to work normally -so they are obviously not 'required'.
    Does anyone else's Software Update on 10.6.6 try and connect to these sites. Any further info anyone?

    Hi WZZZ
    - yes, I have been using OpenDNS at the router level for over 12 months now
    - yes, it still confirms that I'm using OpenDNS when I go to http://www.opendns.com/welcome/
    I temporarily removed all rules for Software Update from Little Snitch and ran again to follow what was happening. Little Snitch requested permission in the following order:
    swscan.apple.com (accepted)
    swcdn.apple.com port 80 (accepted once)
    which interestingly on Little Snitch appears as a connection to 'ds.serving-sys.com'
    (didn't ask to specifically connect to 'ds.serving-sys.com')
    (didn't ask for b.scorecardresearch this time)
    doing a TraceRoute on swcdn.apple.com ends up after 16 hops as akamaitechnologies.com
    16 a204-2-160-16.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com (204.2.160.16) 307.173 ms 298.943 ms 306.822 ms
    doing a TraceRoute on ds.serving-sys.com ALSO ends up after 16 hops as akamaitechnologies.com
    16 a204-2-160-16.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com (204.2.160.16) 261.007 ms 352.034 ms 307.811 ms
    After some googling, it appears akamaitechnologies.com is a CDN which apple may use (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/350920).
    Running Software Update while only allowing connections to swscan.apple.com, completes the check but shows 'All Software Is Up To Date'.
    Running Software Update while allowing connections to swscan.apple.com + swcdn.apple.com (appearing as ds.serving-sys.com in Little Snitch connection history) shows that there are Garage Band Instrument updates (which would be expected as I told Garage Band to download the other available instruments).
    Perhaps it is just a CDN used by Apple for users (after all, I am in Australia). It still bothers me that it shows up as ds.serving-sys.com - especially given the nature of that company.
    Any other Australian Apple users seeing the same appear on there Little Snitch??
    Any other ideas? Am I just being paranoid?
    Thanks again for input guys.

  • Software Update via Unix command but get updates from my OS X server?

    I have a OS X server which I use to manage how software update runs on the clients. Currently when you run software update from the client it connects to the server and downloads what it needs which is much faster than downloading it via the internet each time.
    now, I would like to run a unix command via ARD that would run software update against the local server. Does anyone know the correct syntax for this? Running softwareupdate -l -a does not work. Thanks

    I'm also in the process of getting my Xserve setup as an internal software update server. I haven't gotten to the point of testing this yet, but I was under the impression that once the clients were managed, any software update command would force the clients to retrieve their updates from your internal server as specified in the MCX settings.
    I have a OS X server which I use to manage how software update runs on the clients. Currently when you run software update from the client it connects to the server and downloads what it needs which is much faster than downloading it via the internet each time.
    When you say that currently when you run software update from he client it connects to the server and downloads updates, are you referring to running the graphical Software Update tool?

  • Software Update stuck !!!

    The Software Update on my iMac doesn't work! The progress bar (scanning the installed software) gets stuck almost at the end and I can't even click "cancel" any more. The program stops responding. I have to force Software Update to quit! I installed Leopard as an "erase and install" two days ago, so it's a fresh as OS...
    Apart from that annoying bug, not being able to update I would like to know if it could harm my newly installed OS or the application "Software Update" when I force it to quit.
    Your answers are much appreciated!

    Hi WMR,
    Try leaving it as long as you can. Sometimes, when the computer is installing/scanning stuff, and you start pressing around on it, it freezes. So try and rn it again, and leave it to do whatever, for as long as it needs to. If, say after 2/3 hours it is still not moving, then there is a problem.
    Also, what type of internet connection do you have? If you're wireless, you may have some packet loss/disconnection that causes the download to time out?
    I',m not sure, just throwing some stuff out there.
    Cheers and good luck,
    Julian

    Help, what is happening,does anybody know/can help.

    Same is happening to me, most internet related applications won't start.

    Having said that, I would also appreciate if anybody could give some help on how to restore a working WebKit.

    I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    My iPod touch 2nd generation forced a software update to apply to my ipod via itunes. what effect did this update have on my ipod software, as i still cannot download some apps?
    I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
    The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
    Main questions:
    What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
    solvable problem(s)?
    Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
    ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
    thanks, Sim x

    i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)
    i didnt think graphics could change via software updates
