SP1 for Windows 7 via Software Update (SCCM)

Hi,
I was wondering if there are any known issues of deploying Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 via Windows Updates? I was planning to deploy SP1 but wanted to make sure if there are not any potential issues in doing that.
Thanks

There is nothing wrong with using the software updates feature for deploying service packs, as it will simply do its job. It's more that I prefer to keep service packs out of the software updates to prevent any issues with (accidental) deployments.

No 10.4.7 update via Software Update nor manually for MBP

Via Software Update, I have applied the 10.4.7 update to a variety of machines, but, for some reason I have yet to determine, my MBP will a) not "find" the updated via Software Update to date and b) upon downloading both the intel Combo and Delta updaters manually, the installer returns this error:
"You cannot install Mac OSX Update Combined (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I have rebooted, cleared caches, repaired permissions, ran DFA, etc. I removed some items from the Login Items area of my account in the Accounts pref pane. I have removed a launchd User Agent I created with Lingon. Each subsequent attempt check to Software Update says, "no new software" and each attempt to install manually results in the aforementioned error.
On this particular MBP, I have 2 partitions; my primary, large, daily use partition and a smaller, "rescue" partition with a functional OS on it. Running the manual installer allows me to select (and, sucessfully update) the "rescue" partition (which I did do). I booted from the "rescue" partition and, when selecting my primary partition during a manual update via the Combo or Delta installers, get the same error as mentioned earlier. So, booting from an entirely different "drive", I get the same error.
I also downloaded the combo version of the 10.4.6 installer thinking I may have a busted component somewhere preventing the recognition of this laptop as an elligible candidate for 10.4.7. It returns the same, exact error I get trying to manually apply the 10.4.7 Combo/Delta updates.
During my installation attempts, the drive has had upwards of 14GB free. I did apply the MBP 15" firmware update that was released a while back.
The Quicktime 7.1.2 update was recognized as available via Software Update and I installed it with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

I eventually did an archive and install to get 10.4.7 installed on my MBP the last time around. Now 10.4.8 is doing the same thing. Neither via Software Update nor manual downloads of Intel delta or combo updaters will apply. Arg!
Has anyone else seeen this? I've tried applying the update while booted regularly and also in safe boot to no avail.

Itunes 10.4 won't install on 10.6.8 via software update

everything is in the titel, won't update via software update and regular download on the apple website

From the Apple website; requirements for iTunes 20.4:
Mac OS X version 10.5 or later. See image below.
So it WILL run on 10.5, 10.6, and Lion which is 10.7.
That is why is shows up under "software update" on 10.6 computers.
The problem is with the installer on some computers.
I went to an Apple Store and a Genius had to us the "root" administrator account to install iTunes 10.4. It is a hidden administrator account.
So go to an Apple store or call Apple Care if you are still under warranty.

I updated to 10.7.3 via Software Update

I updated to 10.7.3 via Software Update yesterday. Today, on visiting the App Store, it says there is an update still (to 10.7.3), not acknowledging the recent update that has been applied. Should I ignore it and wait until the next update, and do it via App Store instead? Or ignore it, and update via Software Update (as per normal)? I undestand there were some problems for some people who updated via the App Store to 10.7.3.
A puzzled Tim
(Not a 'newbie, but an owner of various Macs since version OS 7.5)

I don't know if you can. But, seems you have the latest. So Apple changed it in software update also.
I went to the Apple Store to see if showed any updates for me, and it didn't. Maybe it's a glitch, but I wouldn't worry about it as long as things are working correctly.
Also opened Software Update in System Preferences and checked for installed software. It shows both the Software Updated OS update and the Combo Update I downloaded and reinstalled afterwards.

Apple updates failing (via Software Update and Manual .dmg) but other installs complete.

Hello,
Currently on an iMac 3.06 Core 2 Duo, 10.6.8
All the current updates in my Software Update (iTunes 10.6.1, Java Update 7, Safari 5.1.5) will not install, and will not install via manual .dmg download either. Other NON apple updates/installs I download will install via the installer just fine.
I've done the usual permissions repair from current disk utility version, as well as persmissions and disk repair via boot from install disk. Rebooted, no changes.
Console keeps showing similar errors as follows:
4/7/12 4:34:12 PM
installd[987]
Package Authoring Warning: Will not do obsoleting for package com.apple.pkg.update.softwareinstallerupdate.1.0 because it contains unsafe bundles.
I'm pretty stumped. I have a 1tb drive, and there is 60gb free. If this was a disk space issue, I would assume other updates would fail also.
Thoughts?

Same issue. Mid summer went to update Aperture, got to the "Moving items into place" and just stayed there. Then, when all the update for Mountain Lion came out, same thing with iPhoto's update. Tryed the .dmg's, same thing. Many hours on phone, established a second administrator account, checked out the HD's status, still the same. Booting into Safe Boot allowed the installation(s) to complete, but not a great solution. I thought that this was my machine, but my wife's near identical 13" MBPro did the same thing yesterday when she tried via Software Update. Again, Safe Boot allowed the installations to complete.
One thing, it seems only to happen on Apple's graphics or "lifestyle" apps ... iWork went OK, but Aperture, iPhoto, iMovie are the ones that seem to hang. Maybe that can help diagnose this. For what it's worth, I think the problem is something gone amiss in Apple's installers for some of these programs.

Firefox 3.6.15 is not downloading on MAC OSX, not via software update nor via manual download. It claims i do not have full admin rights which is not true.

If I do a manual download via FF website, it starts to install, asking if I want to replace an older version of FF. If I then continue, it says that it cannot process as I do not have access to 'certain components'????
I have full admin rights, it is f... my computer. I am running a Macbook Pro on OSX 10.6.6.
FF is giving me more problems lately, a.o. not showing certain flash elements (have latets flashplayer). Anyone else getting annoyed with FF?

I eventually did an archive and install to get 10.4.7 installed on my MBP the last time around. Now 10.4.8 is doing the same thing. Neither via Software Update nor manual downloads of Intel delta or combo updaters will apply. Arg!

HT4906 Aperture 3.1.2 is not updating to 3.2 via software update

my Aperture 3.1.2 is not updating via software update. How do I update to 3.2?

If you purchased Aperture outside of the Mac App Store, then be 100% sure it is located in your Applications folder. By far the most common source of problems is if you create a subfolder inside Applications (i.e "Photo Applications") and move Aperture there. Software Update won't see it then.
If you purchased Aperture via the Mac App Store, then use the MAS to update Aperture, as Software Update won't update stuff purchased through the MAS.

Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to use it?

Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to have it work right?

Netboot and Software Update, at its simplest. Mac OS X Server also expects to have functional IP networking and DNS services (somewhere) on the LAN (and if you're behind a NAT gateway, then the DNS server(s) are on your LAN and not out at your ISP), or things get weird. SUS (usually) works out of the box, outside of cases where there's an outbound firewall. Netboot can be more effort to setup, in terms of what you're loading into the clients.

A pop-up window advising of software update for Firefox appears and does not connect with server

The window suggests strongly that I update software but when I attempt to update it does nothing but try to connect with server and never does

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.<br />
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Vbscript to remotely enumerate software updates (SCCM 2007)

Hi
Im trying to create a VBscript to initiate enumerate software updates.
The below link has a code to do this locally.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc145902.aspx
Is it possible to get this done remotely via VBScript or even Powershell? Prefer Vbscript, as some of the servers I am targeting are Windows 2003.
What I am trying to achieve is, once we have deployed our monthly patches to the server and has been rebooted, I want to run a a script to confirm what has worked and not. The idea is for the script to remotely initiate a software scan cycle on a target
machine. Then the script will remotely initiate the enumerate software updates. If the result shows that nothing is required, then its good. However, if it lists some updates are to be installed, then this machine will be flagged as non compliant.
Thanks,
DM

THanks for that.
I have gone through the vast amount of scripts. The useful ones seems to be all in powershell.
However, due to Windows 2003, I might have to stick with VBScript.
This script works ok, but for local machine. Im not too keen on using psexec to use this on remote machines.
Does anyone know how to rework this code, to make it work remotely?
Sub EnumerateUpdates()
    ' Initialize variables.
    dim updatesDeployment
    dim progress

    ' Get the current updates.
    Set updatesColl = updatesDeployment.EnumerateUpdates( 2, 0, progress )
    ' Get a count of the current updates.
    updateCount = updatesColl.GetCount()
    ' Determine whether there are any updates to enumerate.
    if updatecount = 0 then
        WScript.echo "No updates found."
    else
        ' Loop through the updates.

Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 for Windows 7 - 64 bit

Hi,
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on a 64-bit platform (Windows 7). The version in about section reads Version 8.0.50727.42
(RTM.050727-4200)
I need to install the Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005 but the installer available is for 32 bit (VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe)
This does not install on 64 bit system.
How do I get Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 installed ?
P.S- On the network I work on, I can see a Windows 2008 (64 bit) system with the version of Visual Studio 2005 that reads Version
8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) but I dont know how that was installed. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Wilson

Hello WillisB,
I think your concern is the name X86 here. Actually Visual Studio is x86 version and we do not have a x64 version Visual Studio. So if you install Visual Studio on X64 version, it is also available. And when you see this page
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=7524 You can see the system requirements:
Supported Operating System
Windows 7; Windows Server 2008; Windows Server 2008 R2; Windows Vista
Processor/RAM:
Vista hardware requirements.
Required Software: licensed copy of a Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1.
So please don't mind the name x86, the update can still be installed on Win 7 x64.
By the way, to install Visual Studio 2005 on Win 7, please check YiChun's post on this thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/f75d8ff2-bed4-473b-bc9c-6faf78c5d83a/installing-visual-studio-2005-pro-on-windows-7-pro-64bit?forum=vssetup
"To apply Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7, please check the following points step by step:
- Download Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and install it
Visual Studio® 2005 Express Editions Service Pack 1
Visual Studio® 2005 Service Pack 1 for Standard or above edition
- Download
Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista and install it
- When launch Visual Studio 2005, please run it with administrator privileges
(Right-click the icon >> "Run as Administrator")"
By the way, Visual Studio 2005 is out of our mainstream support, what about change to use some new version of VS? For example, Visual Studio 2013 Community version.

Barry

ITunes 10.4.1 will not download via Software update after I click to agree to terms, nothing happens

I have OS Lion and went to Software Update to get the latest iTunes 10.4.1 (currently running 10.4 64 bit). Software Update notifies me of the update, I click install, and then I agree to new terms....and that's all that happens. Software Update remains open yet idle, nothing is being downloaded and there isn't a progress window with blue indicator for the time remaining. I've tried several times, even switched to 32 bit version of iTunes to no avail. I've never had an update do this and am wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
I've thought to download iTunes 10.4.1 fresh from Apple (ie not through Software Update) but don't want to risk screwing up the iTunes that I currently have, which at least works.
Any ideas? I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

nothing will be screwed up.
but, if it makes you feel better, do this:
download the iTunes standalone installer
reboot into safe mode
run a permission repair session using disk utility
run the installer
let the Mac reboot normally
