  • Need terminal command for setting display colors ASAP!!!!!

    Hello everyone,
    I was being dumb and figured, oh what will this do?
    I know, I know one of those button pushers...anyway I set the Display colors to 256 on my Xserve, which has no video card in it, and now all I see in Chicken of the VNC is a black screen. Im sure there is a terminal command out there where
    I can ssh into the Xserve, and change the colors back, but I can't find it...could someone post it up here or point me in the right direction please?
    Thanx in advance!!!!!!!

  • Terminal command for opening Safari fullscreen by default?

    Not fullscreen per day, but maxed out so I can still see the menu bar. Or at least to open with a bit more padding? Safari generally does a good job, but every now and then I'd like my window a bit larger.

    Champ, it doesn't seem like you are trying to be very helpful at all, maybe stay out of this discussion. I'm after a solution to a very specific problem which I'm quite certain is some sort of bug.  Many other users have reported the same issue..

  • Scheduling specific time of day for automatic software updates

    How can one schedule a specific time of day (i.e. between 11:01 pm to 5.59 am when I have unlimited download availability) for an iMac to search for automatic software updates? System preferences only offer frequency, but no time option. If it is possible to schedule a specific time, will invoking the feature override the sleep function, wake up the machine and perform the software update and then let the machine go back to "sleep?" Thank you for all your help.

    to clarify barney's suggestion, the following terminal command will download all available updates and put them in your Downloads folder.
    softwareupdate -d --all
    so what you need to do is this.
    1. turn off automatic software update in software update system preferences.
    2. make a cron or a launch daemon to run the above terminal command periodically at the time of your choosing. to make a launch daemon I recommend using lingon http://tuppis.com/lingon/
    The daemon will only run if the computer is not asleep at the scheduled time so you might want to set to to wake/start shortly before that. this is done in system preferences->energy saver->schedule.
    to install the updates once they are downloaded double-click on the pkg files and follow the instructions.

  • 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.

  • HT5766 Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?

    Hello,
    Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (Mac OSX 10.8.3) this information is no longer available in software updates listing you get if you click on the Software Update menu item from the Apple menu.
    I found the download size (often hundreds of megabytes for an individual update and sometimes a set of updates might amount to a few gigabytes) to be very helpful, and now that it seems no longer available (I can't even see it on the web page I came to for more information, thinking the download size would surely be specified there), it is frustrating. My current example is iTunes 11.0.3
    I would greatly appreicate having this information back in the software updates listing, but since it is no longer available there, and I don't know where else to find it, if anybody can enlighten me to its whereabouts, I'd be grateful.
    Thanks and cheers!

  • HT201210 how do I correct - Unable to Check for Update  an error occured while checking for a software update.

    error message:  Unable to check updates.  an error accured while checking for a software update.

    It is all in your WIFI.
    I have 2 internal Wifi networks at home. In one (family) the software update works immediately, in the other one (guess) it gives me the same error "Unable to Check for Udpate" ... The guess network I did set up carries some restrictions being the reason why the update does not work.

  • How to calculate the compliance for an software update deployment

    Hi All,
    I am trying to find as how do we calculate the compliance for an software update deployment.
    Scenario, We have about 4000 machine in the domain. but we have some stale records in the domain which is about 1200. The AD cleanup for the stale records is planned for sometime in March.
    So total number of machines in a collection (including the stale machines) are 5200.
    The current compliance of that deployment shows the following status:
    Complaint : 1156
    In Progress : 1724
    Error : 38
    Unknown : 2462
    And in the unknown, we have :
    Client check failed/Active: 2
    Client check failed/Inactive: 6
    Client check passed/Active: 732
    Client check passed/Inactive: 1722
    Can you please suggest in understanding the formula that should be followed to get the compliance.

    Your Compliancy, should be based solely off of the number of computers within CM12.
     There are no “if”, “and” or “but” able it.  This is the only way to truly and reliably provide numbers to management.
    Again it should be very simple calculation:
     (Total outstanding  Security SU, Total outstanding
     Critical SU, Total outstand Service packs, Total outstand Update Rollups, Total outstand Updates, Total outstand Definition Updates, Total outstand tools, Total outstand Feature packs) Vs Total applied SU (all Classifications)
    Or
    Total # of 100% patched PCs vs Total # of PCs as seen by CM12.
    If you use any other calculation then you MUST include a disclaimer that you are filtering out computers because they might be invalid. Or you MUST define exactly how you are calculating the number. Therefore any compliancy rate that your calculate maybe
    invalid too or at least it will change once you clean up AD.
    I will never hide low compliancy numbers to management, I will always show it to them.
     In many case I will ask to give a presentation to Management to explain why the numbers are so low.
     Provide them with a list of action items that need to be done in order to bring up the number to more reasonable level. I also set their expectation on what a reasonable level is.
    100% is unachievable; there is no exception to this!
    95-99% Very excellent but expect to spend lots of $$$s to obtain these percentages.
    90-95% is really, really, good; expect to spend $$s in this range.
    85-89% is good; expect to set strict procedures
    81-84 is ok but you could do better
    Below 80% is bad
    In your case, I would start by saying AD is dirty and need to be clean up, this has been schedule for March 2015. I would follow up this to say, in order to keep AD clean the follow procedures need to be define / updated / followed. You should also define
    exactly what you are doing to ensure that all computers are management by CM12.
    IMO these is no simple answer of this.

  • Is there any way to set Software Update to ignore a particular packages?

    If Software Update identifies a new version of something which I don't want to install, is there any way of making it ignore that update when it checks next time.
    It's not unusual for minor updates to include no security fixes, no fixes for defects which affect me and no additional functionality. In these cases I'd rather not update but I haven't been able to find anyway to stop Software Update from prompting me to install the same version every time it checks.

    Thank you for the reply.
    That menu item just sets Software Update to ignore that particular version does it? I did spot it but the dialog which it opens says "You will no longer be notified of new versions of this update." which is not a very clear message but "new versions" made me think that clicking "OK" would make it ignore all future updates for the component and not just the particular version I want to skip.
    Sorry, maybe my original post wasn't very clear that it I just want to skip versions I don't see a need to install, not permanently ignore certain apps/components.

  • I would like to connect a printer that requires OS 10.6 or newer. My MacBook is currently using OS 10.5.8. In searching for a software update, I am told no updates are needed. How can I upgrade my OS to 10.6 or better?

    I would like to connect a printer that requires OS 10.6 or newer. My MacBook is currently using OS 10.5.8. In searching for a software update, I am told no updates are needed (and am given no option for updating my OS). How can I upgrade my OS to 10.6 or newer?

    You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
    An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to OSX 10.5 or the .11 added to OSX 10.4..
    An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    10.5 Leopard was written for Power PC Macs with code added to force it to run on Intel processors.
    10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
    10.7 Lion ($19.99) used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
    10.8 Mountain Lion ($19.99) is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.
    10.9 Mavericks is pure 64 bit and is a free download from the App store.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks which are downloads only.
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
      Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.

  • Adding redirect path and  pattern in Lion server for configuring software update server

    Adding redirect path and  pattern in Lion server for configuring software update server.Any changes

    Ok, after days of browsing on the forum I found the following hint on another discussion related to AFP access:
    "This may be a service ACL issue.
    It turns out one of the latest Apple updates turned on Service ACL's which caused AFP connections to be  blocked. Once I fixed the Service ACL in Server Admin... all connections and Single Sign On worked."
    Well, after allowing access to all services to all users with Server Admin, we were finally able to log in the server with our admin account...
    So, there must have been an update that turned on ACL's which caused even our local access, probably for OD/Kerberos, on the server to be restricted.
