Software Upgrade Option not working

After I installed the Mac OS X Snow Leopard (V. 10.6) upgrade (previously I had the Mac OS X 10.5.4), the Software Upgrade option doesn't work anymore. Actually, the available upgrades are recognized when I choose Show Details in the first screen (itunes 9.0.1 and upgrade of Mac OS X to 10.6.1). But when I choose to Install Items, even though the License Agreement screens appear, I choose the Agree option and then it returns to the first screen (Hide/Show Details - Not Now - Next). It seems like the software install option enters into a loop and never starts the installation.
I appreciate if you can help me fixing this problem

Have your tried to install anything else without success? Are you using a non-standard keyboard. If yes to both, then Set your keyboard to the standard US layout if not already done. Then, delete this file: /users/username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolbox. Next, log out and back in. Then try installing whatever you have been having problems with.

After restore from Time Machine Software Upgrade is not working.....

After I restored my complete system from Time Machine, some parts of it is not working and announcing problem to start, e.g. Software Update, My Day from Office 2008....what should I do?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
First, are you running Leopard or Snow Leopard? Your settings at the bottom of your post say Snow Leopard, but this is the +Leopard > Time Machine+ forum, so I'm not sure which is right.
Did you do the full system restore, starting by booting from your OSX disc? If not, what exactly did you do?
Exactly what is wrong with Software Update? What happens, or doesn't happen?

Software Upgrade - Camera Not Working

I recently upgrade my Curve 8900 to the 5.0 software. My key guard and sounds both stopped working, but were fixed with a reboot. However, my camera and video camera are both non-functional. When I take a picture, a box pops up saying "file not found". It then goes to a screen asking me if I want to save. When I click save, it cycles back to the "file not found" screen. I called tech support at T-Mobile, and they tried resetting my phone, but it didn't have any effect.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi Mabel424,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Try the instructions in the article below for a clean application load. Backup your device before reloading the software as this will erase all data. http://bbry.lv/bpv7E1
Make sure you test the camera and video camera before restoring any data. Then perform a selective restore of essential data following this KB article. http://bbry.lv/bhaArf

I have an old version on my iPad 4.3.3 and can't figure out how to upgrade. Per the manual "Software Upgrades" is not an option from the General Settings.

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business! I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar. I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade. We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

XP software disc does not work on 8.1 HP PSC 2355v All in One Printer

Please excuse my novice actions in the subject description as I put my problem and request there. Basically: My XP software Disc will not work on my Windows 8.1 computer for my HP PSC 2355v All In One Printer. Needless to say I can print with a downloaded driver but can not use the Managerial software on the XP disc. When I try to work from the printer it does not recognize the computer, so is there HP software out there that can be downloaded simply to my computer? If so, Where and How can I get it. Thanks again.

Hi,
Unfortunately no more support after Vista but you can use basic function of the printer using the following instructions:

SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working

SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working in our environment. Other than software metering, reports work just fine.
I have created a few simple software metering rules with “Acrobat.exe” and “Outlook.exe”. Rules are enabled. Rules were on at least 6 months.
When I go to software metering reports, Month parameter value is empty and I can’t choose any value.
I ran runmetersumm.exe on our server, it did not work as intended. :
Summarizing data up to 0 hours old.
File Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
Monthly Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
I am stumped. Why would it add minus rows?
Any ideas how I can make software metering work on our environment?
Thank you

Finally figured it out.
mtrmgr.log did not find any rules when I ran executables. So I knew it wasn't working on the server side.
After searching for a while, I found the solution from the link below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8f048512-c357-437e-89ec-cee5356a10b1/software-metering-reports-empty?forum=configmanagergeneral
1. Deleted RULECHG.RTA under policypv.box folder
2. Removed and recreated metering rules again.
Everything is working again now.
Thank you.
I do wonder how to avoid those problems going forward though.

HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

Snow Leopard DVD:
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Specifications;
Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
Lion 10.7.x;
Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

Widgets, Safari, Software Update -- All not working since I got Comcast

My Dashboard, Safari and Software Update have not worked since I got Comcast internet. I'm pretty sure their installer screwed up something, but I don't know how to undo it. Firefox, Adium, Mail and other internet applications all work great.
I tried to fix the Software Updater problem a while ago and was able to get it to see what is available (by adding swquery.apple.com to the sites that bypass proxy settings), but it still refuses to download anything.
I can't help but think there's one thing that's causing all this trouble. Any thoughts?

You can have up to 5 computers authorized at one time with iTunes. There's no reason to deauthorize until you want to go over the limit. You can do this once a year. Do a clean install of the OS on the mac you are selling.

I have recently upgraded to 4.0. Worked great. I have other software that will not work with this new version. Where do I go to download "older" version until I can get this problem resolved? Thanks

I contacted to tech support of the software and "they are working on it".

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I recently upgraded to lion 10.7 and now I can't open itunes or do any software upgrades. Not even 10.7.1! Help

I just upgraded to lion 10.7 and when I tried to use itunes an error message came up saying that itunes may not work with this version of Mac OS X. So I tried to update my software, starting wtih 10.7.1 and it said "Mac OS X update cant be installed on this disk. The volume does not meet hte requirements for this update."
I have 48.19 GB on my HD so I'm not sure why it's saying that. I tried to do skip ahead to 10.7.5 and it said the same thing.

I think you're using a Lion developer version. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy Software here. Did you purchase Lion in the App Store?
