Updates for software, etc.

Is there a way that a user (me) can be automatically notified of updates? Like on a weekly basis.
Or do we have to keep checking ourselves.
For example, only by chance, did I notice Apple had an update for Mountain Lion 10.8.1 today. If I hadn't known that, I'd still have the old version OS 10.8.
Thanks.

Hi I had the same concern. Because I set the sys Preferences > Software Update and press Automatically check for updates for a long time now. But I was concerned with malware and realized that a security update did not make it to my automatic updates. Same with Java updates. I'm not trusting the auto updates. Did you find the same as I? that some updates are not automatically updating.

Why won't my Creaive Cloud find new updates for software?

Why won't my Creaive Cloud find new updates for software? For example, I know Illustrator 17.1 has been released with cool new features; however, my creative cloud seems to be oblivious to this update and any other updates and I do not know how to make work properly again. Creative cloud hasn't prompted me to update any software for over a month and so it is likely missing plenty of updates; however, it is the Illustrator update I want most.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee

Lee if you remove and reinstall Illustrator do the new updates get applied? If not then please review your installation log files for the error which may be preventing the update from being applied. You can find information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html. Please feel free to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

No updates for Software

Hello everyone,
we're using an OS X Server for deploying updates.
It seems that we are not able to see/deploy updates for the following software:
- Keynote Vers. 6.1
- Numbers Vers 3.1
- Pages 5.1
- iMovie 10.0.2
- iBooks Author 2.1.1
- iPhoto 9.5.1
We can only see very old updates for the mentioned software from 2013 or 2009.
The newest update in the list is "Chinese Word List" from 14/04/2014.
Is there any way to fix this issue?
Kind regards

Thanks for your reply.
So that means that we just have to enable the caching on our server,download the required App Store updates on one machine and after that all other machines also have the possibility do download those App store updates from my server. So I don't have to log in manually on each client machine into the App store and download them?Is that right?

How can I refuse an update for software I no longer use (it is for a printer I no longer own)?

I now have a Cannon printer and no longer have the Epson I used previously. However, I cannot seem to find a way to ask Apple to stop offering updates for the Epson .. How do I make this stop? is there something I need to uninstall, or what? Thanks for any help on this.

In the App Store's Updates page see if you find a link in the SHORT description named "more." Do not click on the link. Instead CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Ignore from the context menu. This way it won't appear again.

Disable USB driver installation from searching Windows Updates for software

Hello,
When a plug-n-play device is connected to a Windows 7 system, the system by default tries to search Windows update for compatible drivers. I have a preconfigured driver store on each system that will have the drivers for all of the USB devices we care
about so I'd like to search the local driver store first before searching for Windows updates.
I found the option that controls this under System Properties > Advanced system settings > Hardware tab > Device Installation Settings. I have set this option before my machines run through sysprep, however, sysprep appears to be resetting
the option back to the Windows default (Yes, do this automatically) and ignores what I set it to.
I have a reg key that I'm running post-sysprep, but I'd like to avoid this as it's an extra step and I don't want to have to account for it long-term. My question is, is there a way to set this option in my sysprep unattend file?

If this is a domain joined machine, this can be set by a Group Policy Object;
Open Group Policy Management Editor.
In the navigation pane, open Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet
Communication settings.
In the details pane, double-click Turn off Windows Update device driver searching.
Do one of the following:
To turn off searching Windows Update, click Enabled.
To allow searching Windows Update, click Disabled.
Click OK to save your settings.
Instructions taken from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730606(v=ws.10).aspx
If this PC is not on the domain (but is Pro) you may be able to set the same option on the Local Group Policy (GPEDIT.MSC).
Kind Regards
Barry

Every time a pop up come ' an error occurred while checking updates for software update' please help

please help me to update the software

If you are using iTunes, quit iTunes, restart all devices and start over again. Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software while you try to update.
If you are using WiFi, try using iTunes instead of WiFi.

Unable to update iLife Software

Ever since having my iMac's hard disk replacement through the Apple Program, I am able to download software updates for iPhoto etc through the Mac App Store but when I try to install the update the following message appears:
"Update Unavailable with ths Apple ID. This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again"
I am the only User who has ever used his iMac and I have never had another Apple ID.
Any suggestions??

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again. If you have to log out and then back in with your Apple ID.

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?

My business has been using Appleworks forever. I now have a rubbish mac book pro. I am waiting for Mac to update their software to allow my business to use the 'cwk' drawing files developed over 10 years. letterheads, business cards, box labels etc.

My business has been using Appleworks forever. I now have a rubbish Macbook pro. I am still waiting for Mac to update their software to allow my business to use the many Appleworks files accumulated over the last 10 years.

Dorothy: I feel your pain!
Here is a post I just assembled for another Appleworks user:
First, read these excellent articles on Appleworks migration:
Appleworks for the modern day, a migration tip by a brody; and
Abandoning Appleworks by Roger Wilmut.
If you need to run Appleworks 6 to export some data (for example a database, which cannot be opened by any other program):
a) If your Mac will still boot into Snow Leopard, partition your hard drive (or add an external hard drive) and install Snow Leopard (and the optional Rosetta) into it and use the "dual-boot" method to boot into Snow Leopard and run Appleworks 6; or
b) Install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels and run Appleworks 6 concurrently with Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:

I have a new pc, and when updating ipad software it will erase all apps etc, is there any way to stop this from happening and make my new laptop my ipads "home" pc???

I have a new laptop, and have copied over my existing itunes libary, but when i connect my ipad, and go to update the software to the new version it warns me that it will wipe all my apps etc..... How can i stop this from happening and make my new laptop the "home" for my ipad??
Any help gratefully received! :-)

Macs use an application called Migration Assistant to copy material from the old Mac to the new one. The macs are connected together and each runs Migration Assistance and the user chooses what stuf to copy onto the new Mac.
Unfortunately I do not know how to do this between pcs or between a Mac and a Pf or even if it's even possible.

Status Report for Software Update Deployement

Hi,
I am looking for SCCM2012 query for patch status from specific deployment and specific collection. I need the following details in my patch
report with against each machine name
"Total Number of updates required"
"Total Number of updates installed successfully"
"Total Number of Updates Failed"
"Total Number of Updates installing"
"Total Number of updates downloading"
etc.
Thanks

That's a fairly challenging report request. You'll have to pull together information from many different tables, and from what I can tell, you're also looking for some real-time information with the installing/downloading portions as well.
This report has some of what you're requesting:
http://anotherblabla.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/sccm-usefull-software-update-reports/
Some good stuff here too:
http://pleasepressanykey.blogspot.com/2010/08/sccm-patchmgmt-custom-reports.html
You should also consider taking a look at some of the out-of-the box reports in 2012 for Software updates. I don't believe any have
exactly what you're looking but I think most if not all of the components are there and you could extract those and combine them into a new report.
If you're new to reporting, this is a decent guide that I followed and it's decent and will help you get some of the basics.

Is there any upcoming software updates for the version 10.5.8? Also how do I backup my mac?

I really want to update my mac to the new version of Snow Leopard or Lion but to my understanding I must buy the disks to update it. However I feel like buying a macbook pro to my replace my mid-2009 white macbook, once I graduate so I could use it for college (which is 2 years from now and I'm saving up for it).
Also how do I backup my mac (hardrive)? I'm quite lost. I'm told that I must use Time Machine, but how? Do I use a CD to back up? Some external drive and if yes where could I buy one?
P.S. I'm a newbie with tech stuff. I'm no genius with it so I suggest to take it slow with me. PLUS there's no Apple Store here to help me out.
My quetions in a nutshell:
1) Upcoming software updates? *secretly wishes they were FREE*
2) Backing up my hardrive?
My Mac
- Version 10.5.8 with a 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

The 2.13Ghz MacBook is a Mid 2009 model 5,2 http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.13-whit e-13-mid-2009-nvidia-specs.html
There will be no updates for 10.5. it's been out of production for 3 years. You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any third party Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any third party Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

New board for Software Updates - read this first!

Dear Nokia Support Discussions members,
we are happy to introduce this new section for discussing Nokia phone software updates with your PC or over-the-air.
Please use this board to discuss
- Nokia Software Updater PC application or over-the-air updates
- latest software versions for each product
- any changes you notice over previous software versions
- making a back-up of your phone data
- problems you may encounter with the update
etc.
First and foremost, Nokia Support Discussions is a meeting place for Nokia product owners. Here you can discuss Nokia products, ask for assistance and help other people by providing solutions. Nokia Moderators are here mainly to give assistance in using the boards and to keep the discussions on track.
However, these boards are also a feedback channel to Nokia and people from many different Nokia departments actively follow these discussions. Constructive feedback and criticism is valued and always welcome.
We at Nokia Support Discussions do not have any information about when new products are added to the update service - nor do Nokia contact centers. So you just need to keep checking the service webpage or the boards here. I am sure new products are announced here by our alert members within minutes after they have been added.
I wish to remind the community that posting any confidential information about Nokia product software versions will be deleted and may result in a permanent ban without warning.
Below is the introductory letter that we received from the Nokia Software Update Team - please read it for important information about new products and their schedule.
See you on the boards,
vandelay & Nokia Support Discussions Team
The Nokia Software Updater is a Windows application that enables you to update Nokia mobile device software (firmware) over the Internet using your PC. The application can be downloaded from the Nokia UK Product Support Internet pages at
www.nokia.co.uk/softwareupdate
The Nokia Software Updater offers the same updates you would receive at a Nokia Service Centre. The added advantage is the convenience, as you can now easily perform the update yourself from any location with an Internet connection, at a time suitable for you. Keep your phone software up-to-date, or fix a potential operation problem you may have by regularly updating your phone firmware.
In the future, every new S60 product will be compatible with the Nokia Software Updater, but at the moment the application is only available for selected Nokia devices including Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, Nokia 6682, Nokia N70 and Nokia N72. During the autumn, the application will be available in different languages on different web pages and many other products will also be available for software updates.
The Nokia Software Updater has been made to be as customer-friendly as possible. All you need is a PC and the standard sales-pack data cable - no dongles, no adaptors, no fuss. A typical update takes around 30 minutes. Plus, you don’t need to wait for your device to be returned from Nokia Service Centre.
Regards,
Nokia Software Update Team

Will the apple tv 2 receive a software update for the new interface?

I don't love it, but I don't dislike it either. Between the two, at least initially, I think I prefer the previous interface.
I know that will be the case for me.

The new one is a little more Apple-like with icons instead of lists, but I liked having everything right on the screen before and now I have to scroll down to get to the icons below the tv screen view.
The old interface wasn't perfect but logical - as you say the icons are for the iPhone and iPad crowd, and as i see it will entail more scrolling and button hopping on the remote.
J.T.Holloway wrote:
I do like the icon look as it is more like the iPad, iPhone, Dashboard, etc.
Quelle surprise......
It's a bit like the redesign of these discussion fora - the new layouts are designed for the younger generation but far too much scrolling and hard work to find what you want compared to the old format.
I HATE SCROLLINGTO FIND THINGS
Sorry, rant over.

Updates for software, etc.
