System Update no longer works

I use System Update regularly. Suddenly System Update returned an error "An error was detected with the package catalog for your system on the System Update Server. Please contact the Support Center" Is the problem residing on the Server side or is it local and what can I do about it? specs of my system: Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m 9450 HAG 3GB RAM OS.: Window 7 Ultimate 32bit
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have this same problem, and asked this same question in this and another forum (had no responses). Thanks for the insight that it is likely not our system's problem. I wish this were not marked as solved though. I still can't use system update. Maybe those with warranties still in effect are getting a solution from customer service(?). Frank

  • Software Update no longer works

    My Software Update no longer works. Error message: "Software Update can't connect to the update server." Learned it might be caused by my anti-virus software (Sophos), so I de-installed it. Tried every remedy mentioned on various internet sites, to no avail. Has anyone had and solved this problem

  • I upgraded to Mavericks and now some of my utilities --- such as disk utility and system information no longer work.

    I upgraded to Mavericks and now some of my utilities --- such as disk utility and system information no longer work. I find Disk Utility useful and would like to have it. Doesn't Makericks include

    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
    If that doesn't work, I'd reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

  • Does ThinkVantage System Update 5.06 work on B540 AIO?

    Can someone clarify if ThinkVantage System Update 5.06 can be used on the Ideacenter B540 AIO? Says in the ReadMe txt file that it supports Lenovo V/B/K/E Series. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Guess I have to use Device Manager to update drivers, etc. BTW the Warranty Info and Support & Download links for my country (http://www.lenovo.com/contact/sg/en/index.shtml) do not work. Think all support here is outsourced, which is why I'm grateful for this forum.

  • Iphone 2.0 update no longer working with Chrysler Uconnect Hands Free

    Hello. I recently downloaded the 2.0 update for my original iphone and it will no longer work with the my Uconnect hands free setup in my 2008 Dodge Ram. I am a Chrysler Dealer Parts Manager and have installed and shown many people how to set these uconnect hands free devices up but I have no connection with the 2.0 update. I pair the phone as a new phone and it will pair but will not show up at all and it says "No Phone". Anybody know a fix for this. Help Apple!!!

    I have a new Dodge Nitro. U Connect and iphone were working great. I had no problems until the 2.0 update. I tried calling apple care but gave up quickly when I realized I was going to be waiting forever with everything else they have going on.
    The weird thing was that I was on a call trying to get some help from a friend of mine and all of a sudden the phone started working with the u connect. Then after leaving and returning to the car it stopped working again. Haven't been able to get it working since. I though maybe you had to be on a call for a while before it would transfer over. That wasn't it.
    I tried turning off wireless too. Again no effect.
    The phone shows that it is paired with the u connect. I've tried unpairing and repairing several times still to no effect. They just aren't working. This is a HUGE problem. I love my iPhone but may have to give it up and switch if they don't come up with a fix in the next month or so.
    Anybody who can help me solve this would definitely move to the top of my Christmas Card List!

  • Hide Update no longer working in Yosemite

    I've looked at many threads for an answer to this, but while many are close, I've yet to find an answer to this specific issue.
    Before Yosemite, you could "hide" software update notifications from the App Store by Control (right) clicking in the body of the Update notice in the App Store and be presented with the option to "Hide Update". Since moving to Yosemite, this no longer works for me. It's not just that you don't get the option to hide - sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. And even when you do, it doesn't work. For example, right now I have Notices for 2 updates, one for Digital Raw Compatibility, and one for iMovie, neither of which I want. When I Control click on the "Raw" update the little dialog box to "Hide Update" appears but clicking on it does nothing. With the iMovie update, Control clicking does not even present that option.
    Not an earth shattering issue, but that little red number in the AppStore dock icon and the daily Notifications bug me out.

  • Desktop Pictures: "Change Pictures" in System Prefs no longer works.

    I used to have my Desktop pictures change every five minutes using a special folder of photos. This function no longer works. The setting appears to be in effect according to the System Preferences Desktop Pictures Pane but the function appears to be broken in 10.4.5. I have trashed the Destop Pictures Preferences file in the Preferences Folder, but it still will not work.
    Can anyone using Tiger 10.4.5 get this to work?
    Griff

    OK, that was really dumb!
    The reason for the problem became abundantly clear when I quit Pathfinder. Suddenly the picture change became functional again.
    So, I guess Pathfinder will not follow the Finder when it comes to settings like this.
    Hey Cocoatech, how about getting this into your next release?

  • Updater no longer working.

    W520 running W7 64 bit for last few years with no problems getting Lenovo updater to run. Then I got a message that Lenovo Solution Center needed to be updated. I updated it and ever since when I open Solution Center and ask it to update Lenovo, the Lenovo System Updater box comes up sits there for a while and instead of going on it just disapears. POOF it's gone no error message nothing. So I went out to Lenovo and got the Lenovo System Updater download to reinstall it, thinking it needed updating also. When I tried to install the updater it wanted to remove the old one in my computer. I said fine. It wanted to know how much to remove?The first time I said minimum the second time I said all. Both tries resulted in messages saying "it was interrupted and could not finish for me to try later." I tried again making sure I had all firewalls and virus scan etc shut off. Still same message. I rolled the computer back to a time I knew Lenovo Updater worked and now it doesn't work back there. Does anyone have a solution?

    Reinstall Solution Center manually? (If you don't need any of it's features, just uninstall it instead.)

  • Safari, App Store, iTunes, System Updates all stopped working - what can I do?

    I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro running Lion.  I have not had any trouble with computer performance.  I do have internet access and am using Firefox to type this.  So my connection isn't a problem.
    I've had this computer since February-ish, and I've never had problems.  However, a few days ago, Safari just quit working.  I can open it up fine and it loads with a slight hesitation.  However, after about 10 seconds, it just stops loading.  There is NO beachball.  The loading just freezes.
    So for instance, I can open Yahoo.  It will open the page fine.  But the second I try to load my mail or any other site, it just stops in the loading process.  So again, the internet connection isn't the problem.
    And I thought, "Oh, I should install the new updates!  That might fix it."  Wrong.  System Updates just sits in the Install phase until I force close it.  iTunes will not open (beachball).  The App Store opens to a blank page.  Even some games don't open.
    However, Firefox is fine.  And so are most of my other apps.
    Will somebody pleeeeeeease help me?  I hate this.  haha  Thanks.

    Oh and I've tried restarting Safari (multiple times).  I've shut down the computer, too.  No help.

  • System update has never worked

    can someone assist?  when I try workarounds everything screws up.  have gone to downloads and every new driver creates problems.  how can i update my system?  thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think you misunderstood.  I was typing on a laptop so maybe I was not as clear.  From the first day that I bought my Lenovo 3000 N100 768 A52 running Vista the program under Lenovo Care called System Update had never, ever been able to be beyond more than 25 percent of what it was attempting to do before I got an error message indicated that there was an error, a problem, that it could not continue and it would not work.  When I wanted to see if their were new update drivers I went to the Lenovo web site and tried to download newer drivers that way and that is what screwed the system up.  After trying to spend 6 months to get the laptop to come back on I just put it on the shelf and forgot it.  A few months ago I dug it out and tried again to make it work again and played with thinkadvantage or what ever the rescue and recovery program it and that didn't work either.  I tried to switch to XP pro and that didn't work.  So back on the shelf.  The other day when I turned it on lo and behold Vista was working again.  But the Fingerprint sensor doesn't work, the camera doesn't work and a complete charge of the battery last about twenty minutes.  Pluging the adapter in means consistant power so I tried to run System Update, same problem.  Nothing works.  Went back to the Lenovo website and tried to look at the downloads and then started reading the forums and I seem to be having many of the same issues everyone else has with updating drivers.  Except my laptop has crashed again.  That is as short and polite as I can say it. 

  • Safari and System Update are not working.

    I have been trying to fix these for days,no dice yet.
    I have done the Repair Permissions,and that didn't work,I have also reinstalled Safari,and the problem persists,where it loads 1/4 of the bar and the page stays blank. The system update says there is a network error,but I connect to the internet fine,well at least of FireFox. I have a back up account which I accessed and tried to go to Safari with,but the same problem happened,and same thing with the System Update.
    I've been looking and people recommend reinstalling my system,now the problem with that is it will,as most of you know,delete all my downloaded data. I have hours of downloaded things,and I'm ready to look for another solution.
    I have just come back from a one month vacation,and this happened,I also did a virus scan with iAntiVirus,didn't find anything.
    Please Help!

  • System update does not work with Win7 SP1 RC Wave 1

    Just a heads up.  System Update on win7 64-bt SP1 RC Wave 1 fails to query available updates.
    My guess it is because the operating version number is incremented from 7600 to 7601.
    If Lenovo would like me to work with them on testing this combination, please contact me.

    Hello,
    You may need to wait until Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is released (or shortly thereafter) for Lenovo's ThinkVantage System Update to work with the operating system at its new patch level.
