Sofware update not showing files to be updated

I know that Quicktime and Garage Band had updates come out last night. On my MacBook Pro, the Software Update app listed the updates and the update is running now (the update took a long time, btw). On my MacMini, the software update doesn't list the needed updates. When I run Garage Band, it tells me that an update is available, but alas, it's not listed.
I can download the full updates, but I wondered if anyone knows how to get the updates to show up?

Is this maybe related to the thread below?

Or does software update show a different behavior in your case than described in the other thread?

  • 11.0.3 update not showing up in software update.

    I am currently running itunes 11.0.2 on OS X 10.8.3.  Checking for an upate for itunes from within the app indicates an update is available.  Choosing to download it brings up the app store.  App store checks and retruns that no updates are available.  Any ideas?  I guess I could go ahead and download the install image for 11.0.3.  Just curious why it isn't showing up.
    thanks.

  • Why is the software update not showing up in general settings?

    Why does my software update not show up in general settings?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Touchsmart 610 - Google Chrome not Showing tools icon- Cannot Update Google

    Google Chrome screen as displayed on TS610 is not showing the wrench for updates and settings. Can this be corrected ??

    Hi hiral2cool,
    That is very strange. I think this has to do with the ico file being enabled or disabled in about:config ? Try to disable javascript and restart the browser. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
    '''about:config'''
    # In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
    # Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
    # In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
    # Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
    To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
    '''Add-ons'''
    You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

  • Does anybody know why when I aTrying to edit my yahoo profile using Firefox certain elements do not show up such as update "Load Photo" on the avatar page.

    Trying to edit my yahoo profile using Firefox and certain elements do not show up such as update "Load Photo" on the avatar page.
    If I use Explorer it allows me to see all the links and can edit my profile but not in Firefox.
    I am not sure the URL will let you in as is a private link.

    '''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

  • Error installing CS5 updates; Some updates not showing up.

    When I select a photo in lightroom 5 and opt to edit it in photoshop, I get a notification that says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.3 for full compatibility. Pleas update the Camera Raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu."
    Upon entering photoshop and opening the update tool, there are two updates, but neither for the Camera Raw plug-in. I went ahead and tried to update those anyway, and at the end, I got two error messages reading "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." and "Installation failed." The updates were for Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 and Adobe Device Central CS5.0.1, respectively.
    My question has two parts. First, how can I work around these error messages and successfully install the updates, and second, why is the Camera Raw plug-in update not showing up? Thanks in advance!
    Below are screenshots of the Lightroom message and the update error messages.

    What updates should have been available, and
    Why were they not available at that time?
    Lets examine the case of the backup that has been on the shelf a while.
    I really would like to help, but this post does not really answer my two questions. If you want to troubleshoot this scenario, we're going to need some HARD information to work with.
    WSUS reported (updates needed report) that there were 90+ updates available and approved for that machine
    The computer reporded that there were no updates available.
    My first eyebrow-raising moment here is the idea that a computer has 90+ updates
    approved and available (and, ostensibly, cannot find any of them to be downloaded), and my very first question in response to raising that eyebrow is this: And all 90+ of those updates are NOT SUPERSEDED??? To which my second question would be: When
    was the last time that machine had patches installed?
    I took a look at another computer in the same OU and computer update group with the same initial install image and I see 12 updates available, all not yet approved for that group.
    If the updates are Not Approved, then those updates are also Not Available.
    I'll also point out here that the best way to approach this scenario is to believe what you see and investigate the reason why, rather than questioning the veracity of what's displayed in the console or the logs.
    If the client says there are no updates available for installation, then that's the bottom line, and the proper response is to identify an update that
    should be available for installation and determine why it's not being downloaded/installed.

  • 10.5.7 Update not showing in Installed Updates log

    Hello everyone!
    Not sure if this is some type of problem or not but I'm checking with you guys before I do something drastic like reinstall Leopard or something.
    I installed the 10.5.7 update yesterday on my iBook G4. After I installed it, the computer hanged only showing my desktop and dock (no menu bar). After a while, I manually powered off the iBook, turned it on and saw it boot, restart, and boot back up. I updated Safari 4 beta after that. Then I checked the Installed Updates log on System Preferences and it showed the Safari update but not the 10.5.7 update. I thought there might be something wrong so I downloaded the Combo Update, repaired permissions and installed the update again. No hang this time, it restarted but it did do that boot-restart-boot again thing again. Tried it twice now and the 10.5.7 update is still not showing in the Installed Updates log even though in About This Mac it does say I'm running 10.5.7.
    Is that normal? Are others having this issue?

    Suggest you read my tip at

  • SD Card not showing after Mountain Lion Update

    This matter has been discussed for some time now in
    Apple Support Communities > Desktop Computers > iMac (Intel) > Discussions
    SD Card not showing after Mountain lion Update
    Since the update to Mountain Lion, the SD slot does not show up in Finder.
    Someone gave a fix using the killall in Terminal, and that worked only once.  I have not been able to get that fix to work again.
    The only saving grace for me is that my SD Card us is always from my Nikon camera, and Nikon ViewNX 2 software is able to see and read from the card.
    Killall may have worked partially in that I no longer get the error message telling me that I have removed the SD card improperly, and need to dismount it first.
    However, Finder still cannot see it.

    Thanks, Barney ...
    Those are basics ... Been there, done that, first.
    Then you should hava posted all the troubleshooting you already accomplished.
    Does the card show up in System Information? Or is that another one of the "basics" you've already looked into?
    Does it show up in Disk Utility? If so, have you tried formatting it there to determine if it is a formatting problem?

    I've had this issue before with past updates. Has this issue been logged?

    The folio overlays tab was empty but it's fine now, sorry for the question earlier. I probably should have updated the OS first

  • Software Update not showing available iWork updates

    When I open Pages or Keynote they both report that an update is available (to 4.01) with a button to open Software Update. Software Update however does not show any available iWork updates.
    This happens on both my MacBook and my Mac Pro. My iWork 09 versions in "About Pages" shows 4.0.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    TIA

    The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 the updaters won't work.

  • All apps need to update not showing in iTunes

    All apps need to update not showing in iTunes. For example, 50 apps need to update. On section "Updates" shows only 10 programs. If you click on the "Update all programs" is updating all 50 programs. Last version of iTunes (11.1.5) installed.

    On your MacBook yes, but not on another device. That should take place when your phone syncs with your iTunes. I wonder if what you are observing is due to the fact that you have turned off Wi-Fi syncing with your phone. Connect the phone to iTunes with the USB cable, select the summary tab and ensure that the option to sync over Wi-Fi is checked.
