Software Updates forces Mobile ME changes in ical

After running software updates, I have noticed that the ical calendars published to our on site "private server" has been broken/changed to "mobile me" and the private server information is now gone. Its very annoying (for me and our 250 users) to have to go back into the calendars and change it all back.
Are there any other settings that Mobile Me hijacks? This is a very Microsoft-ish move.

I guess you're all stumped then. The other thing I should mention is that my wife and I both have iphones both linked up to the same mobile me account so we can share contacts and calendars. That might have a baring on things might it not?

Changing the Software Update preference file to change the Scheduled Check

Hi All,
I have 500 users and an XServe which I use to push out the software updates.
I've changed the plist file to point at the server, but I am now thinking as some users haven't got auto check, some have, is there a way to edit the preference to force the OS to check for updates.
I dont fancy going round every Mac to check manually, I'd prefer just to push out a plist file through ARD,
Any thoughts
Alan

Hi,
Most of that is in...
/Users/TheirUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.scheduler.plist
But how to do it is in...
/Users/TheirUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.0009383bd427.plist
Bold part changed for obscurity, and will be likely different for every user... seems to contain shortname, but 12 digits always it seems.

Software update forcing constant reboots

Hello,
I recently have to reinstall OS X on my MacBook Pro after a failed update to Lion. I have installed OS X 10.6 (snow leopard) and preceded with the software updates.
However, due to my slightly dodgy Internet connection it looks like the software update process has jammed itself halfway. The symptoms I am is the machine try's to reboot itself every 1/2 an hour, to install software that doesn't exist. The only way to prevent this from happening to run terminal have something open in vi, as the reboot process can't kill the terminal if it has a application open inside of it.
I have looked everywhere that I know off to find what is triggering these reboot request but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where I should be looking?
Cheers
Adrian

Software Update seems to have changed some settings

I recently did a software update on my mac. When I got home later that day I could no longer connect to my ethernet PPPOE connection. When I went to my system preferences and clicked on network, which then opens up the network window that shows you the status of your connection. As soon as this window opens a panel shows up that says, "Your network settings have been changed by another application". No matter how many times I click "OK" the panel keeps flipping down from the top of the window and will not let me proceed.... Any suggestions? If it is unclear what I mean, I have posted a link to a screen shot of what I am trying to explain with words.

Ran software updates and my life changed forever...

Hi -
At the suggestion of someone at the Genius Bar, I recently ran and installed the software updates I've been ignoring, including OS 10.4.9
I've been working on a movie for months which was playing very smoothly until I installed these updates, now it's skipping and jumping, making it impossible to work on. I've changed the playback to Standard. I've tried choosing a few frames at a time and "sharing" them in iDVD to view them but even in iDVD they're jumpy and skipping. I close all other programs. I ran "repair disk permissions". I ran out of ideas. Nothing seems to work.
Last night I installed a 1G memory card hoping this would solve the problem - nothing.
Someone suggested that my computer may not be able to support 10.4.9 because I don't have enough memory (the guy at the Genius Bar told me 1G is the max I can add).
Any suggestions? Can I uninstall the updates and get back to where I was? Help!
Thanks - Z

ZRose:
First, you should have an up-to-date tested reliable backup. The best way to do it is to get an external Firewire HDD, clone you entire computer to is using SuperDuper, then keep it up-do-date.
Next, get in the habit of doing regular maintenance procedures. Here are some links to help.
Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance
Maintaining OS X
For the probably immediately at hand
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
BGreg's suggestion to install the Combo update is a valid fix. Remember to Repair Disk Permissions before and after installation.
Please post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Software Update Scan Cycle automatically changes the WUServer value

We have 2 forests, Forest A and Forest B that are untrusted. We have a Primary Site installed on Server A in Forest A with a Software Update Point.
We got the Software Update Point Role installed successfully on a server B in Forest B (its a Replica of Upstream server) by opening the firewalls between Server A & Server B. WSUS Sync is working fine between Server A & Server B, no errors in the logs.
We are now trying to patch the clients in Forest B, every time we run a Software Update Scan Cycle on the clients, the Windows Update Server setting in the Local Policy (Specify intranet Microsoft Update Service Location) changes the value from http://serverB:80
to http://serverA:80. Since the firewall rules are blocked between clients in Forest B to site Server in Forest A, the patching fails with the following error - "OnSearchComplete - Failed to end search job. Error = 0x80072ee2."
Manually changing the value in Local Policy to http://serverB:80 does not work, on the next scan cycle, this gets changed to http://serverA:80 automatically.
We tried to set a Domain GPO to avoid changing the value, but that results in a different failure - "Group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (Domain Controller) to: Server http://ServerB:80 and Policy ENABLED Failed to Add Update Source
for WUAgent of type (2) and id Error = 0x87d00692."
It looks like a bug where the client is trying to auto assign the primary site server as a WSUS Server Location. If the client needs to access the Server A directly for a Scan cycle, what's the point in installing Software Update Point in Forest B? From a security
standpoint, this absolutely does not make any sense. Any ideas what might be happening?

Thank you Jason!
I think I was a little unclear.. the SUP that I installed in Forest B is a replica of the SUP installed on Primary Site (Forest A). You're right, both the SUP's are syncing without issues. (The Upstream server that I mentioned above is the one on Primary
Site)
We do have a MP & DP on the server B (Forest B) that has a replica SUP, and all the client communication is restricted to Server B (Forest B) for Software distribution, Policy assignments, PXE. Could you tell me the purpose of the client to directly
talk to SUP in a different forest when there's already a SUP within the same forest (even though it's a replica).

Software Updating Procedure Should Be Changed

Here is my offers:
Instead of using the NSU at all, it would be better off if the SW download is prepared on the associted phone's support section with necessary change logs.
Next thing will be: you just download the SW upgrade like you download a video file
and then put the upgrade file in the phone: then the phone will recognize it and will start upgradin the phone automatically.
I am tellin this from my expreience of using the PlaystationPortable.
http://www.us.playstation.com/PSP/Downloads/SystemUpdate
The NSU is a uncomfortable jerked off.
Any comments, newer ideas, or amendments are welcome.

3. if you cant/Scared to do an software update go to authorised service center and get it done.
I think thats the best a phone can get updates else the update might just be called a patch which only fixes probems but dosent reinstall the firmware.......
Strange,
the PSP is shown for an example of how the SW download procedure should look like.
No one here compares a psp with a phone.

Software Update, App Store, Terminal, iCal and other Apple Apps will not open.

Hi,
I've exhausted all my search methods and still haven't fixed this issue. I have been disconnected from the internet for about 5 months up until now while continually using my MacBook Pro (early 2011) daily for work. Problems arose about a month and a half ago when I noticed the terminal would not open. I trashed the corresponding plist files as recommended by other websites and trouble tickets. Still no avail, the affected programs all seem to be original software that came with Mavericks. When I try to open any of them (Software Update..., App Store, Terminal, iCal, iTunes Store) nothing happens. The dock makes a space for the icon and then before anything even bounces it quickly closes the space again. I've tried opening the contents of the applications and running the root program directly.

I can't uninstall Apple Software Update.

In trying to uninstall ITunes, I was given a checklist from Apple Support to uninstall certain programs in a specific order. I need to reinstall ITunes, and they said that I needed to remove it first. I am running a Windows 7, 64 bit HP laptop. No program is removing this and it very specifically says to not remove them out of order.
Below are the instructions sent to me. (I tried to copy and paste. However, it doesn't look good, so I will include the link that Apple sent to me.)
Can someone please help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

The iTune Dock pop-up notification no longer works since last software update.

Previously i was using the pop-up iTunes notification, enabled by entering"defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE;killall Dock' into Terminal to activate it once only.
Since installing the last OS software update every time i change songs in iTunes, instead of popping up and saying what song is now playing as it used to, the whole dock dissapears and reappears when i change songs instead of the pop-up appearing.
How can i fix this?

Open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
If you see the HP PSC printer, select that then click - (minus)
Then download and install the driverrs for your printer model and v10.9 here > Software & driver downloads HP PSC 2350 All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
Then go back to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print then click + to add the printer.
If that doesn't help, follow the instructions for Resetting the printing system

Incorrect date in software update.

Hi all,
Up until recently my MacBook Pro was working flawlessly but of late the software update screen refuses to change, telling me that I last updated in December 2009.
The list of installed updates clearly shows that I have made changes since then and the update does indeed seem to work.
Nothing more than an annoyance but does anyone know how to reset or start my clock?
Thanks.

I have the same situation and noticed if I login to the Admin account and run SU from there, the date is corrected.
Do you run as a Standard user? I always do, and am wondering if SU even works in automatic mode when not logged in as an Admin.
