To where are Software Updater file downloaded?

I have a software package to update on two computers. The computers are the same and I need to update software on both computers. However, where I live we pay for each megabyte downloaded so I would like to update the first computer then copy the update file to the other. Where does the Software updater store the downloaded files so I can get the file after the first computer is updated?

Whew, took me an hour of searching Apple Downloads to +not find it+ via dial-up!
Then via Google through 4 other sites with clues & back to Apple for 4 more 5 minute steps at pages with links loading leads me to this...
http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/index.html
The Resources link on that page leads e to...
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/
Where it doesn't mention "Express", but who knows since I don't have a Serial# to sign in with!
Back to *Software Update*, if you choose to "Download only" or possibly "Install & keep Package", the file should be at Library>Packages, but I'm not certain that some of Apple's SWUPDs allow even keeping the PKG.
PS. Even this AD BBS is the absolute slowest loading BBS on the whole internet!

Where are the update file downloaded on Mac iTunes?

I'd like to know where iTunes does put the iPhone update file, because I suspect the one it downloaded for version 2.0 of OS is not good as at the "verifying the iPhone software" state of the update, iTunes reported "error -6" and the iPhone passed in DFU mode.
So I would like it to re-download it, and for that I think I need to remove the already downloaded file, no?
EDIT: I found it. FYI, it's in ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/

Thanks for the help! They were exactly where you said. I just navigated to the folder as you described and had to look through each one until the folder with the Reminders showed up. (Specifically, I had to go through the .caldav folder). I hope this helped the other person as well.
By the way, do you know how to make the Reminders show up again in the completed list? I tried copying them into the real Reminders folder on my Mac, but they don't appear in the actual app. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they were orginally deleted. But either way, I can still see the dates.
Thanks once again.

Where are Software Updates stored in OS X Server 10.9?

I am trying to find out where the software update folder is in OS X Server, Mavericks and if it is safe to delete unwanted software updates to reduce the size of the cache when it is turned on. This is for a school environemnt and any information or help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. [email protected]

IMHO, it's definitely not safe to delete random updates underneath Software Update Server. SUS has had a history of flakies, and while I haven't seen any untoward behavior on Mavericks (yet?), I'd prefer to avoid encouraging intransigence.
Scrounge a bigger or external disk for the system or as an add-on, use the server settings (select the server in the left navigation in Server.app, select Settings, select a different location for Service Data) and if you're stuck on a budget then load and run Reposado on some bigger-capacity Linux box.
As for your question, look around with this command:
ls -R /library/server/software\ update
But I wouldn't. Disk hardware upgrades are cheap, and the fallout from potentially derailing software is expensive.

Where are the update files located?

Hi. We have five Macs around here: two Tigers, two Panthers, and a Jaguar. It's a royal pain to have to download the update files individually for each machine. Can somebody tell me where the update files are stored, so we can save time and bandwidth on updates by copying and/or running the updates from one machine to another?

Seems you never use SU to download, before.
It took me a little while to decide whether to be offended by this or not...
I take it you mean that SU, had I downloaded to disk without installing, would have created the directory in question, but since I had not used this option the directory has not yet been created so it was not there.
Thank you for the tip. I am, even as we speak, downloading the appropriate update files to my Jaguar machine's desktop (the interface is a bit different, but I now know what to look for heh heh). For future updates I shall do the same.
Many thanks...:)

Where are the jar files downloaded.

When I run a javafx sample, the first time, it downloads so many jarfiles to a particular place on my box. When I run another sample, it downloads some other jar files, and I can bet some of the jar files downloaded by the previous sample are also downloaded by this sample, I am just thinking, if there is a central place where all downloads go to, then can we have an app check in that folder to see if a jar file is present before downloading it again??

saHey trinisoftinc - I recommend you go investigate java webstart (jnlp). This behavior should not unique to JavaFX applications packed into jnlp but Java as well. I believe it's quite complex and I think Sun have done the right thing here. Duplication is better than potential inconsistencies between supposedly 'identical' jar's. Also, who really sign's jar's anyway.... not many... if any ;)

Where are iOS update files located on my Mac in Lion?

Since Lion I can't seem to find the iOS update files on my Mac. Which leads to my next question can I delete the latest update 4.3.5 and redownload it for a restore?
Thanks,
Bryan

Thank you! I did not know where to find the migrated files either. I had lots of user folders to look through but finally found the one with my Pc data in it. Dragging it to the desktop enabled me to access my files and drag them into my Mac Folders.

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

Scratch Disc Full: Where are the temp files kept?

Hi,
I just tried to open a few of very large image files (9GB in total) and when I did I got the message "scratch discs full". Now I understand why that happened, but it seems to have eaten a whole load of disc space that wont come back. I've since closed photoshop, restarted my Mac, etc. but about 10 GB is still used up where it wasn't before. I can't locate any temp files anywhere (prefs only tells me the scratch disc is my Mac HD, not which folders it's in). Can anyone help me with this? Where are Ps temp files usually located on a Mac? I need those 10GB back!
Mac OSX running Photoshop CS3
Thank you!

Hi again Chris (or anyone else who cares to contribute),
My Mac's HD space continued to disappear and I have now, finally, located the cause (I think). I checked the system log (Stystem Profiler/Software/Logs/system.log) which was itself 4.5 GB in size (too large I think?). However, when I went to the file location (/var/log/system.log) I also noticed that the "asl" folder (in the same folder as the system log) was 20 GB in size!! Having read a few forum posts about similar issues, I took the risk of deleting both the system.log and the majority of files in the asl folder. This seems to have worked a treat (I now have 25GB returned to me).
As I said in my original post, this all started happening when I opened a few very big Photoshop docs (ones with layers). Do you have any idea what caused / is causing this to happen? I haven't opened Photoshop since deleting the asl files, but new ones still seem to be appearing in the asl folder. They are tiny (100KB at most) but I'm a little concerned I haven't fixed the problem. Any suggestions?
I can't see why new asl files would be appearing when I haven't even opened Photoshop.
I'm running on OS 10.5.8
Many thanks,
Matt
P.S. By the way, the size of the system.log seemed to be caused by a repeated message regarding RealPlayer, which I assume is unconnected, but I have included it below just in case (I've removed RealPlayer from my Mac to see if that helps, but the asl files still seem to be appearing):
Jul 28 18:16:07 localhost RealPlayer Downloader[299]: Failed to create window context device

Software Update Files

Hi,
Is it possible to somehow keep all the software update files, so when I re-install my OSX Server Operating System tonight I won't have to download all the updates again?

Hi Cliff, yes it is. They are stored in the /usr/share/swupd/html/ directory. If you backup this directory and all it's contents and copy it back over ,before you try and start the service, once you're up and running, all should be ok.
This is of course assuming you're using the same IP/FQDN setup for the rebuild.
Cheers

Where are my important files located in Leopard 10.5?

I had an old file from apple titled "Where are my important files located?" which applied to 10.3. I could not find this same doc for 10.5. It had the location of all the important files for safari, mail, address book, etc. and was handy when I was mirgrating files or backing up or so forth. Is there now an updated file/doc for this with regards to 10.5 Leopard? Or is every important file's location still located in the same location? Thanks

Hi Teal,
I'm a big "foggy" on a lot of the OS X 10.3 "Panther" stuff but I think you'll find OS X 10.5 to be pretty similar in most regards.
As far as your user information, everything related to your user will be in the /Users/username location. The "Library" folder is probably the most important when it comes to application related data such as Safari, Mail, Address Book, iCal, etc. Some applications will have a folder directly inside the library folder (/Users/Username/Library/ApplicationName) and some will store data in the Application Support folder (/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/ApplicationName)
The important thing, is that all of your user data is stored in the /Users/Username location that will often be represented by a "House" icon when signed into that user.
Where it gets a little tricky, is some applications will store data in the /Users/Shared location and the /Library location. So if you ever do a total system migration there's a possibility you'll need to reinstall some applications. A Time Machine backup can assist with system migrations as it does a full and complete backup of your HD, including the User's home folder.

The STR files are only briefly stored in this location until they are
processed by the database.
They are then deleted.

"why i can't find software update menu in setting - general ". So, where is "software update" located ?

You cannot update to iOS 5, it's no longer an available. You can only update to the latsest available iOS for your device. For the iPhone 4 that's iOS 6.0.1. The option you are looking for to update over-the-air requires iOS 5 or later. With iOS 4 you need to use iTunes on a Mac or PC to update the iOS. Follow the instructions on the Support Page you linked from.
