Software update won't suggest my printer!

Ok fine, Software will do your breakfast and everything...
I'm being told on Epson site for my specific printer (Epson Stylus Photo R220) that the driver will be intalled automatically through Software Update...
Apple list confirm that this model is available for ML.
I need that printer *now* not in a month.... But after 6 trials to launch Software Update, Mr. Miracle, I do not get that printer in list of updates. I did everything reuqired of course (connected and powered on the printer).
Is there anything that can be done with Mr. Control Everything so to get that **** printer up and running so I can perform my work ?
Thanks,
Rob

Your printer is listed as supported here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
Try disconnecting the printer first, then running Software Update.
If that doesbn't work, try deleting the printer and adding it again. For further advice on troubleshooting printers, see

Internet Connect crash/Software Update won't open

I have a 500mhz G3 slot loading iMac running 10.3.9
About 2 weeks ago, after waking FrankenMac up from sleep mode, I noticed the Airport status symbol failed to appear in the menu bar (next to the volume/date&time etc).
Looking into my Network settings revealed that I was indeed still connected to the internet, via my Airport, all systems go. However, I noticed that "show airport status in menu bar" was unchecked, so I checked the box. Which apparently did jack squat b/c there's still no icon.
For the last couple weeks, as long as I've been connected to the internet, I could really give a flying flip about whether the airport status icon is there or not. I mean, seriously. I know this computer is a little old so why rock the boat on something trivial?
Until today. Today I was determined to figure out where the icon is, why it went away and if there are any other underlying problems.
I started first with Internet connect. Applications->Internet Connect, clicked on the purple IC button, only to have it launch in the dock, bounce once, then quit.

I attempted to open Software Update next to see if there was something critical (ha!) I might be missing. Apple menu->software update and it was a repeat performance of Internet Connect, except this time I wouldn't even get so much as the Software Update icon in the dock. The dock would move everything to the left, as if it was going to open, then....nothing.
*Software update was working as of 6/14*, when I updated (perhaps foolishly) to Quicktime 7.5.

This ridiculously long post boils down to 2 questions, really.
• Any ideas why Internet Connect and Software Update won't open and how to fix?
• Where in the world is my Airport status icon? (not that it matters since I'm connected to the internet, but doggone it!)
I've run Disk Utility, repaired permissions and the HD checks out fine. I'm just at a loss (not surprising, given my limited amount of fix-it-yerself knowledge)
Should I just put up, shut up and be grateful that these problems, while aggravating, aren't majorly disrupting my life?

Okay no worries, can't find where to delete this post...

Software Update won't check for updates automatically

Hello
Since my update to Lion, the automated Software Update (Preferences -> Software Update) won't check automatically for updates, even if it's configurated to check daily. I can see this behaviour on different MacBooks with Lion.
If I check manually, I'll get all necessary updates - but not automatically.
Do you've an idea or the same issue?
Thanks & Regards

If your logged in as Standard User it won't check.

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ????

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ???? AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router. Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro. Does this sound right?

If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
Good luck.

Try re-indexing Spotlight.

If worse comes to worse, and it is in your Purchases tab, delete 1.0.3 and download it again. You might need to do Spotlight again.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Itunes & software update won't download

I opened iTunes today and it said there is an update so I clicked Download.
When the App store opens, a couple old apps like Final Cut are still up there that also don't work as well as a new Software Update.
I hit Install All and nothing happened apart from an error message about Final Cut.
I restarted twice and still it's happening, although iTunes and Software updates won't show up.

Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

Software update doesn't remember my printer software update

Every day Software Update tells me to update my printer software. Every day it updates it. I found a 2012 thread about this in 10.8, and here it is again in 10.9 Anybody got any ideas what to do about it?

If you delete the /Library/Printers/Brother (or something similar) folder and reapply the updates, does it still happen?

Software Update Won't Download 10.5 Updates

Our software update server (running 10.5) will not download any of the newest 10.5 software updates--all we get is small exclamation points in front of any of the 4 latest updates that have anything to do with 10.5. All of the other updates are fine, just nothing that relates to 10.5. We have restarted, tried to reload the updates, etc., and it just will not get these 4 updates. Internet access is working fine on the machine, and nothing has changed on the machine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi
The exclamation mark means that your Update Server knows the updates are available and is in the process of downloading them. The best advice I can give you regarding the SUS in 10.5 is to have plenty of patience. The log itself should give you some indication of what is happening?

Software Updates Won't Download - EnumerateUpdates for action (UpdateActionInstall) - Total actionable updates = 0

I have a new software updates deployment. I see there are updates that are required on a few clients. The clients work fine with a software package/application, as they download fine with no problems, so it's not a boundary issue. But I can't get the software
updates to work. I keep seeing in updatedeployment.log total actionable updates = 0 even though right above that it is clearly finding new updates.

Anyone have any update to this scenario?
I did a site recovery to new hardware, and subsequently new WSUS version for Server 2012, and am having issues with deploying software updates. Like the OP above I can deploy applications and packages with no issues.
I've deleted the software update group, recreated and deployed to a collection with machines that do not have these updates installed, since they are this months newest updates.
In the UpdatesDeployment.log I see the following logged:

So it's like it sees the deployment but is not evaluating that it needs the updates. I'm at a loss of where to look next so if anyone can provide any additional suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Software update won't download software

Software Update tells me that there are several updates availble for me (10.7.5, lately). When I click "Install Updates" the Software Update window disappears, while "Software Update" remains a running process, and nothing is downloaded.
How do I get Software Update to download and update again? Should I re-install the whole OS? Or can I just replace the

Hi Lanny, Just after I posted my last comment, the Update finally downloaded and installed the update... roughly try #20.
I've been waiting for another small update (Printer driver, etc) but nothing so far.
Thanks for the App Store recommendation. I already logged out and back in. I'll see how it goes.
Thanks again!

Is there a way to prevent Software updates to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?

Hi everybody!
Is it possible to prevent Mountain Lion to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?
I'm using an iMac with Mountain Lion at work, and for my printer to work, I need to keep an older version of xerox drivers (newer versions are not supporting some features we're using at a corporate level). Is there a way to tell software updates to stop asking me to update those drivers? I would love to use the "update all" feature without having to continuously reinstall old drivers...
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely
Neff

Thank you Barney-15E, I tried to right-click and hide this update and for the moment everything appears to work just fine. I'll let you know if the update request pops-up again at the next software update.

The 2.1.3 Software update won't work, the new version of iTunes won't download. Please help.

For several months now I have not been able to find a solution to either of these two problems. When I have the Apple Software Update program open and I click update, it loads for a second and then goes back to the usual page saying to update. It will not update. I have also tried, multiple times, to install the new current version of iTunes and that won't work either. I've tried to repair iTunes by going to Control Panel > Programs > Repair and it still won't work. Please help because I'm trying to download a new app but it requires the new version of iTunes. I am using a Windows Vista and I'm this is for my 4th generation iPod touch.
