Which version of Safari to use on Software Update Server?

I have 10.6.7 Server running ASUS.
I'm trying to serve Safari 5.0.5 to clients yet the default is Safari 4.1.3 so the clients aren't getting the update.
When I click on the "Choose Version..." button, I get:
Safari 4.1.3 - which would be nice to have just in case a client needs it maybe?
Safari 5.0.5 - 37.5 MB - Post Date: 4/14/11
Safari 5.0.5 - 47.1 MB - Post Date: 4/14/11
How do I know which Safari 5.0.5 to use and why doesn't ASUS just pick the right one when clients connect?
Can I enable all 3 somehow that I'm missing?
I tried searching here yet the 3 items that returned for my search were never pertinent, hence the question being asked.
Thanks for any assistance.

I just spoke with Apple Enterprise Support since you got me curious as to why there were 2 versions with the same number. Apparently the 47.1MB one was a small update and they didn't up the version number. They couldn't tell me what the update was, but the 47.1MB is the most current.
Not sure why yours keeps reverting back to 4.1.3 though. Have you tried deleting the update and re-downloading it?

Using internal software update server (SUS) with iTunes

We are using an internal software update server (SUS) to manage the release of patches, etc. to our mac clients. There are no known issues with this server or the process. However, it appears that iTunes is still checking Apple's website first for updates, and by-passing our internal server. So we have Mac clients indicating an update to iTunes is available, but when software update is launched, no iTunes updates are available from our internal server, since we have not released them internally yet.
Is there a setting in iTunes that we can change so that iTunes checks our internal SUS site first?

You need to look at this from the server side, not
the client side.
Open Server Admin, connect to your server and look at
the list of updates that Software Update has
available. Specifically check if there are any blue
warning icons alongside any update. These are updates
that the server has not yet downloaded from Apple,
and therefore are not available to clients.
I've seen this happen periodically on my SUS. The fix
is annoying, but simple just stop and restart the
SUS. It should download the pending updates and make
them available to clients.
Thanks for the reply. Actually there were blue exclamation points next to newer updates, yet I just waited and the server finished downloading and mirroring them and then they went away. The screenshots above were taken when there were no exclamation points in the software list and when all the updates were available in the list.

Client still trying to use obsolete Software Update server

I was experimenting with Mac OS X Server, including the Software Update Server and setting up managed client computers. After some testing, I decided that Mac OS X Server was too complex for our needs and switched the server back to standard Mac OS X. I also removed the server from the Directory Access settings on my client machine, and rebooted.
I thought this was enough to clean up my client machine, but it is still trying to access the Software Update Server on my test server. I can tell this by running softwareupdate from the command line:
dalba ~> softwareupdate --list

I can't figure out where this setting is being stored so that I can erase it. I've already tried using the Restore Default feature of Software Update Enabler <http://www.wiretapped.net/~proton/suenabler/>, but that hasn't fixed the problem, even after resetting all three preference domains (Current User on This Computer, Current User on Any Computer, and All Users on This Computer) and restarting. I've searched through /Library/Preferences for the string "purr.local" and didn't get any hits.
Any clues as to where this setting is being stored, or how to erase it?

I think I just solved my own problem.
There are settings in /Library/Managed Preferences that aren't reset by Software Update Enabler. In particular, I had a file named "/Library/Managed Preferences/samalone/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist" that contained the obsolete server setting for Software Update. In my case, I don't want to have managed preferences anymore, so I just deleted the entire /Library/Managed Preferences folder and restarted.

Software Update Server and iTunes

I just got the task of reorganizing our haphazardly organized Apple client-server structure. I plan on implementing a software update server and using ARD to push out updates to clients.
Is there a way to control iTunes to stop its self update queries to the iTunes website without touching every machine and turning it off for every admin user? I've been looking for some kind of preference key that would either disable the autoupdates or point iTunes to use the Software Update server that I could push down with workgroup manager, but haven't been able to find one yet.

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

Check Software Update first.
You have to reinstall OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to install Safari.

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.
Be aware, Apple no longer support Snow Leopard v10.6 > www.ibtimes.com/apple-kills-snow-leopard-os-x-106-no-longer-receives-security-u pdates-1558393
See if your Mac can run v10.9 Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
If so, you can download and install Mavericks for free from the App Store.

Temporarily disable any security software on the computer and try again.

Which version of Safari I need to download?

I have a MacBook that's five years old and I'm trying to figure out which version of Safari is best for my computer

Safari is not downloadable by itself. It's part of the OS. If there is not a newer version available in system updates, the only way you're getting a newer one is to upgrade the version of OS X you're running.

Which version of RH to use?

Hi, I am in a new job where there is currently no online
help. I am going to create RH help, and it needs to be printable to
MS Word. My only RH experience to this point is creating Robohelp
HTML projects that weren't single-sourced.
Other info:
1) Our printed docs are written using Word, not Frame.
2) Our company product is a set of web-based applications
that users access via secure internet connection. (They do
not install our app s/w on their own pcs.)
Given all this, can anyone suggest which version of RH to
use? Can I still use the one I'm familiar with (RH HTML)? Or should
I switch to WebHelp or RH for Word?
I don't know if the fact that we're trying to single source,
re-using information for both online help and printed manuals,
makes a difference in RH "flavor" selection.
Thanks very much.
Lori

Hi Lori and welcome to our community. It sounds like you are
confusing the RH version with the flavour of output. Check out Rick
Stone's
tutorial
on this very topic. In order to answer your query it is necessary
to know how your users are accessing the help. As your application
is web based, it may be safe to assume the help is also web based.
In this case Webhelp is your likely output format. Compiled HTML
(CHM) files are not designed to run on websites and Microsoft have
added security patches that create further problems. You can also
use the single sourcing capability to produce a Word document in
the same way as you can with CHM files. Hope this helps

I cannot seem to get iTunes to contact software update server. Seems to only give a progress bar which but never seems to contact. running latest version of Lion and latest iTunes

I cannot sseem to contact the iphone software update server. Only get progress bar, but never seems to contact. Am running Lion 1-.7.3 and most recent version of itunes(10.6). What is up?

The servers have been jammed with everyone trying to get the new version of iTunes and iOS, so you may just need to wait a day or so until things calm down.

Using the software update created problems

Ok so I bought Leopard and upgraded from Tiger, then updated using the software update. Now I have a whole bunch of problems. My Apple Works is now missing, the program is just gone. All my Adobe programs now give me the error of Incompatible with current OS or some Your Licensing is not working error. I have a whole load of Adobe programs that should be working, like Contribute CS 3 and Photo Shop and Illustrator and Designer and so on. All of which worked under the 4.11 and the 5.1 OSes but now no longer work. This isn't even touching on the elimination of the Classic environment which i have a lot of programs that will cost way too much money to buy again for the new OS.
Anybody know how to get back Apple Works and how to get the Adobe products running again?

First set of problems, I had two software packaged programs go missing. Totally erased from the system. iWeb and Apple Works.
This would not happen after a software update, unless the directory got damaged somehow*:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
That would give the machine a difficult time trying to find files on the computer.
Next set of problems my external firewire drive stopped being seen from the system.
This most commonly happens if a Firewire hard drive does not have the proper firmware to be used with the operating system in question. This is one reason most people recommend dismounting and disconnecting all third party devices before applying updates. This used to be a more common problem with 10.3, but not out of the realm of experience of people with 10.5.
The next most common cause is the clock battery dying, but not quite dead. Replacing it can fix that problem as well.
I should say that my system consists of several computers networked together.
I would have completely disconnected the computers before applying the update.
I can take my external firewire back up time machine drives and connect them to a PC and see the data. But my macs do not even recognise them, they don't even show up when plugged in.
This is further evidence the firmware on the hard drive was not yet updated for compatibility with the operating system.
Third set of problems, all the apple install disks became unreadable by my system.
This can be commonly caused by a dying optical drive, or bad permissions on the system, or a dying clock battery.
Fourth set of problems, all the Adobe programs became un-useable and returned errors. Adobe has been working with me on this and have been far more helpful than Apple has been.
That's a case of corrupt files, or files which were migrated from another system. Migration that is done improperly from a PowerPC to an Intel system may create issues with powerpc plugins on an Intel Mac. If your hard drive got over 85% full and/or the directory was damaged for any reason (especially forced reboots), that can also trigger such a reaction during an update.
Fifth set of problems just recently discovered, all my stored movies, music and podcast in iTunes is gone.
This is usually due to a directory issue, but can also be a dying hard drive issue.
Sounds like you have multiple symptoms pointing towards a few common possible causes. Directory damage, and clock battery malfunctioning, and needing a better firmware on your Firewire hard drive case. Replacing the hard drive case with a compatible one is simple enough. http://www.macsales.com/ makes the right cases. I would not go with LaCie, Western Digital, or Seagate cases. Western Digital and Seagate internal hard drives are fine in of themselves. Replace the MyBook hard drive cases with http://www.macsales.com/ cases and same with the LaCies.
I have Apple TV and EYE TV and a Midi interface box attached to my G5 mac. My G5 is the one that lost Apple Works and iWeb.
Remove the Midi interface box. It may help things work better.
My systems have the super drive on them and I have virtual PC and Softwindows installed.
Softwindows barely works if at all under Classic, and VirtualPC only works with version 7.0.2 under Leopard. If you got an earlier version working under Leopard you were lucky. You really needed to migrate to a supported emulator under Leopard listed on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
It says you didn't research your options well enough before upgrading to Leopard. This has been well documented in the forums before this.
Booted up from the Norton disks and repaired disk.
This is the biggest flaw in your plans, which caused ALL your problems. Norton is not compatible with any version of Mac OS X. It eats directories for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Only Alsoft Disk Warrior is safe and only after a data recovery attempt with Prosoft Data Rescue II, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, or Boomerang's Boomerang. We have constantly harped on the forums here that Norton is damaging to data. This has been known about since Mac OS X came out. It has even been called "Norton Kevorkian" by some.
You can't blame Apple for this. Your lack of research and lack of asking in the right places at the right time led to your failures.
