Updates asked for after X.4.8 installed

Hi there
I have a updated all my Macs to 10.4.8 I have no problems with
The iBook, iMac Intel. But my mini G4 is a different story I am running iLife 6 on all
Machines but now every time I open any of iLifes apps it say there is a update would you like to open software up date if I click yes it comes back all is up to date. Why is it doing this and how do I stop it. I have done the X.4.8 2X now but this has not helped.
I have the combo update on the mini downloaded from the apple site.
iBook12" G4, 'Minimac superdrive G4, intel iMac 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) all have 1 gig ram

Ah! Cardinal sin WRT OS X. Don't move Apple installed items from where they were originally placed; otherwise, updaters can't find them. One might ask why Apple couldn't put in a search routine, but with over 200K files and 20K folders, that's asking for great delays while sorting things out. Glad you fixed the problem.
Thanks for the feedback. Good computing.

Software update ask for a restart before installing the updates. After the restart password is asked. When given the computer is restarted but the software updates have not been installed. How come?

This article
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57400956-263/apple-issues-software-installe r-update/
explains what might be going on.
I noted that one of the updates in the list for my wife's iMac was an update to Software Update itself. Probably to fix this very problem. But it wasn't being applied due to Software Update itself not working.
I considered two solutions.
(1) Uncheck all the updates except that one update to Software Update. Then after fixing Software Update, apply all the other updates remaining. I did NOT try this approach.
(2) Download and install the "combo update" for 10.6 -- from here
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
I decided to try solution #2. It's a large download, 1 GB, but the whole process took less than 15 minutes. The "combo" update checks and reapplies every update since the beginning of 10.6, so if something is missing or amiss, it gets filled in. It's done manually, by downloading the update, opening the .dmg file, and running the update. When I did this, it fixed the Software Update issue because I then reran Software Update and additional, new updates were found and they all installed fine. Software Update was working as it should. I then ran it a third time and some additional ones were found, also then successfully applied. Finally, no new updates were found by Software Update, which mean everything is up to date.
I can't be sure if your issue is the same as mine (the bug in the CNET article above) but I'm guessing that the combo update will resolve your issue.

2007 Intel Imac, installed a new Hdd. Started up with the install disc but it doesn't find my Hdd when asking for a destination volume to install the Mac OS. The Hdd is recognized in system profiler. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The hard drive is not formatted, and it must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in order to install OS X.
Close the OS X installer, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, format your hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and install OS X

Applications update asks for appleid several times but never updates the apps

Applications update asks for appleid several times but never updates the apps. Seems to be in a loop.

Were you using a old Apple id before ?
Because that may be the issue, try deleting all the Apps, go on Settings > iTunes & AppStore > Finish session.
Then Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings.
And the log in your Apple id again, and troubleshoot.
Good luck.

After Download, asks for disk in order to install.

After downloading Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 from the Adobe website, after entering the serial number and going through all the pre-install configuring, it then asks for the disk to be inserted before it will install. There is no disk as this is a downloaded program, and is not being installed from a disk but from the downloaded disk image. How do I get it to install?

After having tried to get this to install 5 different times, I thought of a possible way to do it, but when I went to try it out, never got that far because it simply installed on this try. I have no idea why it suddenly installed, but 4 hours later and on the 6th attempt, it did. I made no system upgrades or other installations during this time, so it wasn't anything new on the computer that made it work. The only thing I did differently is that I didn't shut down Firefox during the install. All the other times I followed Adobe's instructions and made sure there were no programs running during the install. Could that be the reason?

My ipad is asking for a pass code to install updates - never done before and I haven't set one. What next?

My ipad is asking for a pass code to perform the software updates. It has never done this before and I haven't set a pass code. How do I find, amend or delete this?

It's asking for the passcode you use to lock/unlock your iPad.

3.71 ARD Update asking for serial Number

The update is asking for a serial number. I don't have a serial number since I purchased it from the App store. Any suggestions? Delete and reinstall ?
The ARD was upgraded today automatically by the App store. I guess I should switch that off for the future.
Thanks,
Paul

A delete and re-install fixed the issue.

Why does the Acro 9.3 Updater ask for Safari Plug-In 3 Times?

Adobe's software is generally known for its massive bloat (Acrobat 9's 1GB install size, I'm looking at you), but when one of the updates asks me to install its craptacular Safari Plug-In that takes aeons to start up and simply pales in comparison to the Apple Preview Plug-In, and then doesn't take no for an answer but goes on to ask me two more times if I want install its crap I begin to understand why Apple hasn't allowed Flash onto the iPhone or the iPad.
Ok, I'm done ranting for today. If the language is too strong (or honest) for Adobe's moderators, go ahead and delete me. It's not as if I'm actually going to waste money on you again.

Why does Flash Player Update ask for update preferences if it has no intention of retaining them?

I find it completely maddening that Flash Player Update asks me for my update preferences every time I update it. Retain my preferences if you're going to ask for them. Furthermore, I'm never going to install Mcafee, please provide me a way to disagree with their terms of service so you don't have to ask anymore.
Thanks!

I also find this issue deeply frustrating. Every time Flash Player installs it asks again, and every time it's reset the option back to "Allow Adobe to install updates". Unless I'm mistaken, the only people who see this window are those who selected the "Notify me" option previously, so there's absolutely no reason why it should be reset every time.
Except that I assume the reason is because Adobe wants to trick those people who simply click-through into choosing the "Allow" option. I can understand the security motivation for persuading people to have updates installed automatically, but for anyone making an active choice to have notifications, it's actually very annoying, especially when it must have been a conscious policy decision by Adobe.
I've opened a feature request/bug on this as suggested: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3485588
Here's a screenshot of the offending window for reference:

Asking for disc 2 on Tiger install

Hi,
I have a 1.8mhz G5 with 10.3.9 and tried upgrading to Tiger. Bought the disk from apple store. upgrade/install seemed to go fine. restarted but opened with installer again asking for disc 2. there was only 1 disc. I don't understand. I tried inserting my iLife 06 disk. didn't work. the screen said I wanted to install things that required disc 2. I opted for an Easy Install upgrade. HELP! My computer is stuck in this limbo. I can't even quit Installer.
Thanks,
Don Burton

Is the disk marked CD or DVD on it?
Is it a black disk label with gray and white X logo on it?

IWork install asking for serial number even though installed from disc set

Ok so two days ago I bought a MacBook Pro from Best Buy. It was one of those open package deals. Anyhow the MacBook was missing the software. I decided it might be a good idea to buy the Mac Box Set at the local Apple Store because I might need the OS disc at some point and I thought why not upgrade my iMac while I'm at it. So I went to an Apple Store and bought the Mac Box Set
I install Snow Leopard. I then install iLife. Lastly I install iWork. Sort of. Seems the first two are fine but when I click to open any of the iWork apps it ask for me to insert a serial number. I did a search and discovered there was a trial version of iWork 08 on here so I deleted it and the current instal. The reinstalled. Still same issue.
What should I do if it is still asking for a serial number?
And just incase anyone is wondering if I have the disk....

Good, there are many answered threads to your specific question.

Creaive Cloud desktop latest update asking for admin privileges when I am admin

I have had creative cloud desktop working well over the last few weeks but the latest update is asking for adminstrator privileges to complete the installation - but my login is already the adminstrator on my machine with admin privileges. I have now tried uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch and have the same problem. So I currently have no CC desktop, this must be a bug with the current update, has anybody managed to get round this?
I'm running Windows 7.

Managed to to resolve this by temporarily disabling UAC (User access control) - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/turn-user-account-control-on-or-off
