Updated AirPort via Software Update-- cannot connect to internet now.

Hello, my father has been using his Macbook for a few months now and I noticed there were updates he hadn't installed, one updating Airport to 1.2.2. After the update and an intel Firmware update we cannot connect to the internet! Airport tells me that we're connected to the network, however both Firefox and Safari cannot navigate to webpages, nor can iTunes connect to the iTunes music store. Note: we are using a Linksys WRT160N router and we did have the Macbook working flawlessly prior to the update.

Hi
Try these two suggestions:
First, go to your Utilities folder>Keychain Access.app. Open the application. In the Keychains menu>Keychain First Aid. Select "repair". If errors appear, rerun until you get a clean pass.
Close the app., then restart computer/Safari and try the connection.
If no go, then reapply the 10.4.10 combined update. Do not use the computer while the installer is running. When complete, "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Sometimes reapplying the combo update corrects file problems in OS X.
If that doesn't work, either the problem is specific to the cable box, or you may need to reinstall OS X.

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.

Cannot Connect To Internet Now That I Updated to 10.5.8!!!

I'm typing from another comp in the house ( a tiger mac ) to post this. Weird right?
I updated to the recent 10.5.8 on my Leopard iMac and everything went smoothly. When it booted back up, I couldn't connect to the net from that computer.
My phones connect, all other computers connect but that one.
I went into preferences to check the connection and it says the "Ethernet" is connected ( that is the one with the problem )
I usually shut off my router and modem, wait about 30 seconds on the rare occasion that it won't connect then it usually is back up but this time, I have no idea what is different to not have it connect.
Any ANY help is appreciated.
Thanks...

Ok Ladies & Gents, Looks like I solved my own problem lol
I will break it down for those who might run into this same problem.
I'm an individual who doesn't tweak his mac, or over do things with 3rd party applications, so someone is bound to come across this problem as well.
It ended up being a problem ( as I suspected ) within the Network Configuration.
When going into NETWORK - > (ETHERNET) ADVANCED -> Proxies Tab, The Web Proxy (HTTP) was checked ( Why, I don't know, this happened after the Update )
I unchecked that box, went to the bottom of that section to where it says " Automatic Proxy Configuration " and checked that then clicked OK and Apply. Closed out, opened Safari and here I am, typing from the computer that wouldn't connect ; )
Persistence my friends \O/
Thanks again... & you're welcome to the future ones aha

IPhoto 5.0.4 update available via Software Update

Recommended for all customers using iPhoto 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2 and 5.0.3.
iPhoto 5.0.4 addresses an issue with browsing photos that have been auto-rotated by a camera.

There are still big performance problems for some users - in the thread "Topic: What can be done about slowness?" some people have figured out that this is very likely related to a bug in handling the additional information that a camera saves with a photo (maker notes), since it occurs only with pictures taken with certain camera types (e.g. Pentax GS 330). That would fit well since as far I know iPhoto5 makes more use of this additional information than iPhoto4!
I hope this will be fixed with the next update! Otherwise there's no other way than going back to iPhoto4 for many users.
- See the mentioned thread for details!

Airport problem-cannot connect to internet since update

I like many folks here is new to a Mac. I have a iMac intel duel processor. i apparently did this update to 10/4/8 10/2/06. Since then airport does not work and I cannot connect to internet at all. I have talked to Apple customer service but so far no help there. They want me to reinstall disc that came with computer. I also have a new MacBook that has update also. I can set it beside the iMac in my office and it works great. We have a wirelss system in our home and a PC and the MacBook still connect with no problem. Settings on iMac and MacBook look identical to what I can tell. Nothing I try to connect works, rebooting, change some setting. Can anyone offer easy to follow suggestions to a new Mac user. Thanks

Since it's only the iMac that's having the issue connecting using WPA, we don't need to troubleshoot the router or the other computers.
I suggest trying the following on the iMac before attempting to reload the previous version of the OS.
If you use "Preferred Networks," instead of "Automatic" for your "By default, join" setting Location, try the following:
System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > AirPort tab
- Delete all preferred networks with encryption
- Add them again after manually connecting
(Note: It will be faster if you turn on "Automatically add new networks to preferred networks list" under "Options" of the AirPort network connection.)
If this doesn't work, something might have gone wrong with the update to 10.4.8. I would suggest that you follow the Apple Tech's recommendation and reinstall the previous OS using the installation disk that came with your iMac.

I cannot update ios as it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is

Hi everybody, please help me. I've been trying to update my ipad for ages. When i click update it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is and it works for iphone and ipod, it's just the ipad. tried with security settings as well, but it doesn't work. did the connectivity test and it says itunes cannot connect to internet...it is connected

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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 anitvirus 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 6.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.

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!
Has anyone else seeen this? I've tried applying the update while booted regularly and also in safe boot to no avail.

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

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.

A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

There are a few things to try.
First, if this file came to you vial email attachment, it could have been corrupted. Ask her to zip the file and send it again. That sometimes helps.
I suppose there's a chance that the file is already zipped, so see if that's the case and unzip it if so.
If the file name doesn't end with .indd, add it and see if that helps.
If you are double-clicking, try File>Open from within InDesign.
Last (and I know this sounds like a joke, but I've seen it many times), sometimes people attach a Mac Alias or Windows Shortcut instead of the actual file. What is the file size? If it's really small, that might be the reason.
Also, no offense intended if some of this sounds like stuff you have already tried. I don't know what you know, so I'm just spit-balling.

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.

Airport Express software update reminder each time at start up

Why do I get Airport Express software update for 5.4.2 reminder each time at start up? I try to update from 5.4.1 by clicking update button, and zoom, the Airport Express screen disappears and no update begins. Your help is appreciated.

I'm not getting an update message, so I can't re-create your view, but this might help.
Open AirPort Utility. On the AirPort Utility menu right next to the Apple icon, select Check for Updates.

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.

Whats the difference between a combo update and using software update?

I keep my Macbook up to date by checking regularly via software update, so far with no mishaps, but I have seen people on these forums mentioning that a it is better to download the combo updates direct from Apples website. Is this true, if so why, and what is the difference? I am thinking of installing Leopard which would then probably need updating to the current version, so what is the correct way of doing this?

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
