Software updates?Should i or shouldn't i?

I've had my iPhone for a few months and i've been avoiding all updates.The first time i tried updating(phone #1)the phone crashed and had to be replaced. Do you think i should risk phone #2 with the latest update??IS it worth it?

curious snoopy, you are from australia - are you on the Telstra network?
if so... they have reverted their APN settings back to telstra.iph in which SOME iphones are NOT provisioned in that Access Point Name - if the case is when you complete the 3.1.3 update and you are unable to access your Cellular Data you must contact Telstra to change this server-side, just a tip. Australia now do not have a carrier that support to changing of the APN settings on the iphone's Cellular Data Network setting
anything else, this 3.1.3 update seems fine, i would recommend it!

Software Update - Files Stored locally

Hi Peeps. I am now down to 20gb on my 100gb MacBook Pro HD. I need to find some more space! I have gone through and removed all the old iPhone and iPod firmware updates I no longer need and lots of the additional files from Applications I no longer use.
Here is my question - do the software updates (Downloaded via the automated Software Update App) get stored locally on my drive? If so where are they and is it safe to bin them? I really need to free up some space.
I know this is an Apple forum but are there another Apps that leave large lingering files behind following an update. (MS Office 08, Quark 7.31, CS3, Final Cut Xpress, iLife 08 etc)?
Look forward to your help

Nothing you download through Software Update should leave any installers on your Mac. If you download outside of Software Installer, it's up to you to eject and delete the .dmg file. If you have any, you would see them in the sidebar of Finder or in your Downloads folder.
Have you gone to /Library/Printers and deleted all but print driver(s) you use? That will free up some space. Since your data is not about to begin shrinking, I also strongly suggest you get another disk for backup
EDIT: What Size can help you find what's hogging your disk space.

My software update shows that no update is available for my machine. It shows that it is running Snow Leopard 10.5.8, downloads for the 10.6.8 update will not open. I am trying to get the mac store app so I can upgrade to Lion.

I have not been successful in obtaining the latest version of Snow Leopard so I have the Mac Store app. My computer shows that there are no updates available even though it only shows it running version 10..5.8. I would like to upgrade to Lion. When I download the .dmg updates from the web, they try unsuccessfully to open in Itunes or Quicktime. I can not get them to run. What is my next step?

As noted, in order to update from OS X 10.5.x to OS X 10.6.x you will need to acquire the retail package for OS X 10.6; that initial jump can not be done via download.
The current shipping retail version for OS X 10.6 is 10.6.3. Once you have installed that you can update it to OS X 10.6.8 via the Combo Update - running Software UPdate should be able to fetch that for you. You can also download it directly -
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Once you have installed that you can download and install the update for OS X 10.7 (Lion).

Software updates

Luv how the Ipod freezes after you update Itunes.

Hi Dcarnabu,
Software updates should improve the device! I apologize that this did not occur. What is the current software version on your Ellipsis? Are you connected to Wi-fi when you attempt to update the software? Click here for the update instructions http://vz.to/1qxehCh .

Manual Software update on OS IMage fails

I'm running SCCM 2012 R2 and have several Windows 7 OS images created. I'm trying to install the OS updates, but I keep getting the error, "Failed to find or access the update binaries to be applied on the image."
When I looked in the OfficeLineServicingMgr.log file I found this:
Content '00cbc4d9-deec-4787-b3ee-f4ebf0d12daf' not found in content library on this site. Software updates should be distributed to this site.
I searched until All Software updates for that content number, but it's now there. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hello,
Check if the solution work for you:

Software Updates form apple comand

I have used this unix comand com.apple.softwareupdate
CatalogURL "http://yourservername:8088" to set my mac to get updates form a server. How do I reset the my softeware update to get updates form Apple?

Do you mean you used the following:
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://yourservername:8088"
If so, Software Update should still fall back to the Apple server automatically if your local server is unavailable. However, to remove the local server entry entirely, just use
defaults delete com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL

Software Update utility quits trying to get a list of available updates

Hello.
Internet connection through ethernet ADSL modem.
Yes, I can download updates directly from Apple support pages
manually, but I don't know exactly what updates do I need (not only for System, for other software also).
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Thanks, Kappy,
First link contains a problem description similar to mine:
Software Update quits unexpectedly with Mac OS X 10.4
It's possible that Software Update could unexpectedly quit when installing >software in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (via a network connection other than your >built-in Ethernet port such as AirPort), but there's a quick and easy fix. Just >make a change in Network preferences:
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Network to display its preference pane.
From the Show pop-up menu, choose Network Port Configurations.
Select the Built-in Ethernet checkbox to enable the port.
Click Apply Now.
That's it. Software Update should now work just fine. If you wish, you can go >back to Network preferences and disable the built-in Ethernet port again. >You don't have to use Ethernet to download updates.
But all checkboxes (Airport, Ethernet, ....) are already checked.
Is it an option to manually download 10.4.4 Combo Update from Apple and hope that automatic update will work in 10.4.4? I don't like false hopes

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?

HT6114 My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour.

Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

And need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?

On my macbook pro the Software Update appeared, then it asked me to update some software what should I do?

On my mac the Software Update appeared, then it asked me to update some software,when I clicked Install all or update all, it said that it will restart and it told me not to turn it off, then when the screen appears, it is too slow, I can't "barely" move the mouse, and I saw that It is downloading something.. but really slow.. what should I do, Do I need to turn it off?

Never turn off your Mac while it is downloading, installing or updating software.
Just let Software Update do its thing.

My apple tv seems to have hung up during the latest software update - what should I do now?

I have not turned it off but it has been stuck in the same spot for 30 minutes now and I'm not sure what to do next since the screen says to NOT turn it off until done. Please help.

If it hangs much longer you may need to disconnect and then grab a micro USB to restore through iTunes

When I try to open the Iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update but when I click on the software update tab, it says that all updates are up to date. I still cant open the Iphoto, what should I do?

When I try to open the iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update, but when I click on the software update it says that all the software in the computer are up to date. I still cant open the iphoto, what should I do?

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

Were those items purchased or downloaded under a different apple ID than what you are logged into on the phone?

I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.

If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again.

HT201210 what should i do if a statement like "the iphone software update server could not be contacted" appear?

my iphone 3GS in recovery mode! what should i do if a statement like "the iphone software update server could not be contacted" appear?

Let's try the following document with that one.
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

Software updates?Should i or shouldn't i?
