Updating UI Manually

Hi,
Is there a way to update UI manually?
For example, I have a function which updates UI and execute some logic.
After the UI update, it will execute some logic that will take a long time and update of UI has to be wait until the execution of logic is finished.
Is there a way to update UI manually befor even the logic is even executed?
It seems that thread can be used in here.
But Is there a way to solve this by not using thread?
Also, using if thread can be used, what is the best practice?
Thanks!

Insert this line between the UI update and the logic.
CFRunLoopRunInMode (CFRunLoopCopyCurrentMode(CFRunLoopGetCurrent()), 0, FALSE);

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
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.6) Core Duo 2.0GHz/2GB

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.

How to view which updates were manually imported into WSUS

We need to manually install updates on a workstation that is not joined to our domain (in a workgroup) and match the updates that are normally installed via WSUS.
WSUS has some extra updates added that were downloaded from the Microsoft Catalog site.
How can I see which catalog updates are added to our WSUS server?

In that case, I don't know why I've never had the issue on my gazillions of Win7 deployments, and, this KB is therefore very misleading about Vista & later sysprep behaviour... :S
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903262/en-au
Unless the master image had actually been patched with Windows Update or WSUS, the master image would never actually have a SusClientID. That's the reason most organizations avoid this situation.
I do not know why the article claims that sysprep was changed to clear this ID. It still does not do it, as evidenced by the thousands of threads in this forum directly related to this issue over the past seven years (since the release of Vista), most
of which involved just as many Windows 7 systems as they did Windows XP systems.
The 2nd and 3rd paragraph in the symptoms section is still the case:
This issue occurs if the computer was set up by using a Windows 2000 image, a Windows Server 2003 image, or a Windows XP image in which the registry value for SusClientID is populated before it is deployed to client computers.
When you use Sysprep to generalize an image for a virtual machine, or when you use a unique SID-generating technology to create the images,
the SusClientId registry value is not cleared if it is populated within the image before the image is deployed.
What's also relevant (and disappointing), and may have something to do with the claimed involvement of sysprep, is that the WUAgent v7.0 was supposed to have self-detecting capabilties for duplicated SusClientIDs. See the note in that section about "changes
it's SusClientID if the hardware changes". Sadly, it doesn't work. Also, there's no "hardware change" on virtual machines, so that's a non-starter from the get go. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen a WindowsUpdate.log where the WUAgent
correctly detected a duplicate SusClientID and spontaneously generated a new one.

LSMW RFBIBL00 withholding tax base amount in local currency cannot be updated by manual

Hi SAP Guru,
When I try to upload FI docs by program RFBIBL00 in LSMW, the field BWITH-WT_QSSHH(withholding tax base amount in local currency) cannot be updated.
(1) The LSMW structure is defined as bellow:
     BGR00<--------DOC_HEAD
          BBKPF<--------DOC_HEAD
               BBSEG<--------DOC_ITEM
                    BWITH <--------DOC_WHTX
And fields in structure BWITH are defined as bellow:
Field Name
Type
Length
Field Description
STYPE
C
1
Batch Input Interface Record Type
WITHT
C
2
Withholding tax type
WT_WITHCD
C
2
Withholding tax type
WT_QSSHB
C
21
W/tax base amount in document currency (batch input
field)
WT_QSSHH
C
21
W/tax base amount in Local currency (batch input
field)
(2) When I run LSMW, the doc can be posted successfully. All the information can be updated as the data I upload. Only the field WT_QSSHH is calculated by system automatically according to the current foreign exchange rate.
(3) When I try to post this doc by manual(F-02), the field WT_QSSHH is not editable.
How can I change the field WT_QSSHH into editable and update this field in LSMW RFBIBL00.
Thank you very much!
Eric

We have an iphone 5c that is not keeping the correct time whether using the auto update or manual selection. is this a os bug?

iphone 5c is not updating its time properly using set automatically. is this an os bug?

Hi TheLongRider,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend this advice if the incorrect time is being set automatically:
Follow these steps. Test after each step to see if the issue is resolved.
Ensure that the version of iOS on your device is up to date.
If the option to enable date and time automatically is available, turn it on. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Ensure that your time zone is set up correctly. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.
If the incorrect date, time, or time zone is being set up automatically on the device, please notify your cellular provider. In the meantime, tap General > Date & Time and turn off Set Automatically. Then set the appropriate time and time zone manually.
If you are setting the time manually and it is still incorrect, this advice may apply:
Note: If you find that your device's time is incorrect after you sync with your computer, your computer's time may be incorrect. Verify the computer's time in System Preferences > Date & Time (you may want to select the checkbox to set the computer's date and time automatically).
You can find this information here:
iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time

Firefox won't auto update or manually update, Opendns is blocking sites

Open dns blocks sites such as Victoria's secret and an art studio I want to go to for nudity, lol. I don't remember loading it onto my computer and I don't have admin access to Open dns. So I can't uninstall or unblock sites. Also I get a message that Firefox could not update. I have the latest version of Firefox.

I don't have an administrator, so I don't know who to ask. I contacted OpenDNS and they replied: You have a Netgear router on your network with Live Parental Controls enabled.
Please go to https://netgear.opendns.com/sign_in.php to change your Live Parental Controls settings.
Afterward, flush your web browser caches and DNS resolver caches.

Computer/Local DNS Resolver Cache Flush Instructions: http://www.opendns.com/support/article/209
(Restarting your computer is an alternative to flushing your local DNS resolver caches manually)
I'm going to try and see if that helps.

Updating video manually w/ automatic song update

Is there a way to update my video's manually so they dont get deleted from my ipod if they dont exist on my laptop; but still keep the auto update feature for my podcasts and music files so i dont have to manually add music every single time(preferable be able to do updae selected palylists).
Thank you in advance. Also if the feature is not available i think it would be a great one for the next software update.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I don't think it is currently possible, but there may be a way around it.
If you know where the videos are stored in your computer, you should be able to delete those. They will still show up in iTunes, but you will get an error if you try to play them. The thing is, when iTunes tries to sync to your iPod, it should think that the videos are in the library and not delete them. (Basically, the shortcut to the video would stay in iTunes, but the video file itself would be gone. You might get an "!" next to some videos)
I also agree that this would be a great feature. Tell apple...
