Why can't I see system updates anymore.

Ok fine maybe it was a little inflamitory last time.  Here it is again.  I just want the old system update back.  The system updates are hidden from me.  This is a real concern.  When I have a software developer telling me make sure you don't update java for a another couple of weeks.  The program you depend on will not work properly.  I.E.  I will fail my programming class.  This is a real concern for me.  I have had to go into package files and change code.  I have more than just a few programs that don't work.  And I can't even backup my system the way I want to, with a program like Carbon Copy Cloner.  If I were to get a crash of some kind.  I have no recourse because my Macbook is a mid 2009 Macbook Pro.  I can't fire up a cloned copy to a previous version.  This is anything but smooth.  This is a disaster.  You are going to push an update that will crash people's computers and we will not know until it is too late.

If you want the old System Update back thencontact Apple Feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
I have no idea why a Software Developer would tell you that. Although Java is a threat to security.
Which program that you depend on will not work? Have you contacted the developers of the software to see if they have or are intending to update their software? That is their responsibility, not Apple's.
Why can't you backup your system with Time Machine? It is better than having no backup at all.
All in all, Mavericks is flying along on all five of my Macs here in the studio under a heavy workload. You still have the choice to update or not. If you don't wish for the update in the Ap Store, just don't hit Download.
Cheers

  • HT4972 Why can't I see the update download option under general? I need to download iOS 5

    Why can't I see an option to download the ios5 upgrade under General settings

    you can update an iPad 1 up to iOS 5.1.1 , you need to connect it to iTunes on a computer and update from there
    For instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623 and scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes
    Please  note that iPad 1 goes up to iOS 5.1.1, while iPad 2 goes up to iOS 6.1.3, the (current) latest version. You won't be able to ' choose '  iOS 5.1.1 on iPad 2, it will automatically update to the latest version possible.
    Good luck

  • Why can't I install system updates?

    Hi all,
    I realized today that my system updates haven't actually been 'installing' for awhile. Whoops. Basically, I have a slew up updates that need to be installed, and I get a message that I need to restart my computer for this install to happen. I restart and nothing happens, no updates are installed and I still have the same list of stuff that needs to be done. Here are my specs:
    Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac11,3
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i3
      Processor Speed:          3.2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache (per core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          4 MB
      Memory:          8 GB
      Processor Interconnect Speed:          5.86 GT/s
      Boot ROM Version:          IM112.0057.B00
      SMC Version (system):          1.59f2
    Version: 10.6.8
    Help?

    Please open Finder - Go - Go to... and copy and paste:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    into the box, and once the file is located drag it to the desktop. Then log out of your user account and log back in and retry Software Update. Post back what the results are please.

  • Why can I not see the update softwared tab in General?

    I need to update my iPad 2 and there is no "Update Software" tab. Plus, I am unable to access itunes on the ipad. I have checked my wifi connection and it is fine.

    Hi NISTeacher12,
    Apple has been experiencing all kinds of problems the past 2 days with their iTunes Store and many of their other online services. If I was in your shoes, I'd first try a "reset" (different from restarting) by holding down both the Home button AND Sleep/Wake button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Then check to see if you can connect to Apple's services.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why can't I see my updates?

    Hey Hey,
    I had updated my website using iWeb, but when I cheched it out, the website was the old one. Cleared all history and cache etc, no luck.
    Even rang my ISP, thinking it was their fault. Went through their list of solutions, no luck.
    Getting smart I went back to iWeb and moved some of the photos and text around then republished. Checked it out in the browser and saw some of the changes. Have been repeating the process all afternoon and bit by bit, thumbnails, text and images have been updated. But now I have reached what seems to be the limit.
    No mater what I do, I am unable to see anymore changes. The website is now a jumbled mess of old and new content.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    What would I have done for this to happen?
    Anyone else with the same issue?
    I hope it something simple like a cache issue and that is will sort itself out in a day or two.
    Thanks

    Sorted itself out, ignore a problem long enough and it will go away.

    After loading Mavericks(terrible name,btw), why can't I see a way to sync/update my contacts on itunes anymore?  hm????
    And I can't seem to be able to sync contacts at all.  Not at all.... Really... Not happening...
    Contacts has always been a sketchy, inferior application, now with the NEW Mavericks, it's not even working.   sigh.

    It's named after a favorite surfing beach in California. Many companies are now using names of places because then they know the name doesn't violate a trademark in any of hundreds of countries. Thinking up product names is very difficult, legally speaking. Place names are convenient.

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

    Why can't I see documents using adobe reader even though I have the most updated version?

    Hi lawalton,
    Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
    I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.
    Best,

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

  • I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
    I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
    Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
    This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
    I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
    Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
    Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

  • I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

    I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

    There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer.  when it came up, the scanner had already been added again.  With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible).  I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application.  I tried it, and it works quite well.

  • Why can not I see the name of a child process?

    Hi,
    I implemented a program for my project.
    My program has two processes. One is a parent process. Another is a child process.
    The parent process forks its child process. The child process is executed by execl() system call.
    The program code implemented is followed.
    === abbreviation ===
    switch(itmr_forkid = fork()) {
    case 0:
    RCode = execl("./itmr", "itmr", (char *) 0);
    exit(0);
    break;
    === abbreviation ===
    I executed the program. And then I pressed "ps -ef" on command line.
    [stp1ggsn1][user/shlim] ps -ef
    UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME      CMD
    root 29402 29376 38 Mar 06 pts/0 11376:36 ibgfb
    root 29403 29402 0 Mar 06 pts/0 0:15
    However, why can not I see itmr process name for the child process?
    When I executed the program for the parent process and the program for the child process respectively, I can see itmr process name for the child process.
    I tried to look for the cause. But I could not find out the answer.
    Please, give me your answer. Thank you for your answer in advance.

    Hi,
    I am sorry that I loaded my question two times by mistake.

  • Why can't I download my updates...it doesn't accept my password...changed it several times no luck

    Why can't I download my updates....it says my password is wrong...changed it several times with still no luck. What's wrong? When I login to my apple ID it works..whist am I doing wrong?

    Have you tried logging out of your account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and then logging back in ?
    If that doesn't work then you could try closing the App Store app completely and seeing if you can download updates when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
