My ipad stays in searching mode when looking for software update and doesn't give results
When I try to look for updates it is just searching and I even left it fir hole day and remained in search mode.
Had the same problem. Called Apple support. They claimed it could be a network problem since I did the download over wifi. They told me to try again using Itunes. When that didn't work, they said it was a corrupted itunes and I reinstalled it. During the reinstall, I tried it on another computer and it still did not work. After reinstalling itunes, I still got the corrupt message. Apple told me to go to my local Apple store and try their network. I was told that would do the trick. Guess what? It did not restore on the Apple network and the "Genius" tech person said that this error was similar to the windows "blue screen of death" and they could not repair it. Since the Ipad 2 was out of warranty, they offered me a replacement for $249 (no thanks) and said it was just one of those things. If anybody finds a fix, please let me know. I guess the lesson learned is NEVER download a new update the first day.

Just realized that you have the Verizon Z3, you can't unlock the bootloader, what if you use PCC?

I can´t rescan for software updates with wmic command
Hi guys,
I read in all the sites that to install all updates I need to run a command, but when I try to scan for software updates both a OSD task as from a command line on a machine with installed client gives me an error: Modifier Verb is invalid. Anyone know
why? Is there any requirement to launch this command?

Is there an Apple article on a secure way to check for software updates (OS 10.6x)?
I recently heard about malware that can be introduced by downloading an innocent-looking software update, e.g., Adobe Acrobat or Flashplayer. I'd like to set all my programs either to update manually or to automatically let me know that an update is available but not download (e.g., in Microsoft Office).
OS 10.6 has always notified me automatically and asked me if I wanted to install. I'd like to put a "brake" on my tendency to just click "Install," so I looked for software update preferences, but couldn't find them. Can anyone point me to an Apple article that tells me how to do this? Thanks!If you are simply referring to Apple software updates then it will depend on the OS you are using. For example, there will be no more updates for 10.6.8 Snow Leopard than what is revealed by you clicking 'software update' ... unless some mind blowing security matter arises. You need to be able to choose once you get to Yosemite and that is where Eric's suggestion of the forums is so relevant. The newest OS tends to have its early updates fairly regularly as the public at large find its faults. As I understand it, there are some who doubt 10.6.3 sufficiently to discourage me, if I used that OS.
And I have to agree with Bob. Too many rogue companys can trick you into downloading basically decent software but having injected malware before you get it. SOFTONIC, DOWNLITE, MACPAW ZEOBIT and anything UTORRENT are to avoid. -
When connecting my iphone to my computer, message appears: iphone cannot be used because itunes needs to be updated. I updated on my Mac, but it isn't transferring to my phone. Tried looking at software updates on my phone - "no updates needed"
Okay, that means with the latest iOS software, it requires the latest version of iTunes on the computer. Which computer OS platform are you using. Now you are saying that after downloading the latest version of iTunes that your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes? Completely different thing, and the iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with that anyway. The iTunes on the iPhone is just for purchases.
If you are having trouble with the iPhone being recognized by iTunes, use the appropriate link for your computer OS for assistance.

Error encountered when checking for software update!
How come there is an error encountered when I was trying to check for the software update for the iPad? Presently, my iPad is on iOS 6. So I would like to ask if anyone of you here experiencing the same thing or it is just me? And are there any specific reasons for this phenomenon? Thanks for helping me in overcoming this matter. Your efforts will be appreciated.
Now I completely understand what you are trying to do.
There is no update for any of the iPad versions except for the iPad Mini. There was an update released yesterday for the iPad Mini and the iPhone 5 only. If you are running iOS 6.0.1 - you ARE up to date regarding the software.
But - you should still not be getting an error message when you look for the update. You should see this message on the iPad.
If your phone is the iPhone 5 - you should be seeing the update that is available. -
Trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings, About, there is no option for Software Update..
I am trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings >> About >> there is no option for "Software Update" .. what else can I do?
4.4.2 was the last update. Now, in the same section look at Build Number. Mine says VS98026A. If yours ends with 26A, you are current. The last update was for HD Voice called Advanced Calling 1.0. Our next over the air or OTA update will be sometime next year, probably near March. The G2 is already getting 5.0 Lollipop in Poland and is rolling this way. We will get it, but even though Google has released the source code and update to manufacturers, Verizon still has to test, add to it and approve it, then roll it out over the course of a few weeks or months.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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 antivirus 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.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?
Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

When I go to settings > general, there is no prompt for "software update." how can I update my iPad?
If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?
Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now. -
Getting an error message of unable to
check for software update when trying to update to
ios 8.0.2. Can someone help ??Howdy there otss1979,
It sounds like you are unable to download the iOS 8.0.2 update either, over the air, or using iTunes. If you are updating the software on your phone in Settings > General > software update I would recommend starting with this article:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
If you are using iTunes, I would use this article instead:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
If you are getting a specific error number, the following article will help you get that resolved:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
If this does not resolve the issue, could you please write the error message you are getting word for word for me?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
