Why has Software Update stopped iTunes?
I'm running iTunes 10.5.3 on my G4, with no problems. Software Update used to offer me iTunes 10.6 but I could never make up my mind if I needed it. But recently, Software Update has stopped including iTunes in its list. Why?
I should also point out that when I launch iTunes, I SOMETIMES still get offered the chance to upgrade to 10.6.3. But not always.
What's going on?
Crikey. This is the second time this morning I've had to go to Wikipedia to try to track down something.
I can't recall a huge amount of stuff other than what is listed at Wikipedia:
10.6
2012-03-07
Adds support for iPad (3rd generation). Adds the ability to play 1080p HD movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store. Higher bit rate songs can be converted to 128, 196, or 256 kbit/s when syncing to iOS devices or iPods. Improvements for iTunes Match. Bug fixes.
10.6.1
2012-03-28
Fixes possible crash when playing videos, changing artwork size in grid view, or at syncing photos to devices. Addresses issues with VoiceOver and WindowEyes. Fixes problems with iPod nano and iPod shuffle. Resolves an ordering problem with Apple TV.[129]
10.6.3
2012-06-11
Fixes stability problems and issues with devices.[130] Adds support for iOS 6 beta.[131]

Help! Why has software update stopped my applications?
Hello, i recently installed the software updater for iPod, security etc. When i restarted my iBook, i tried opening Safari and Mail. They just bounce in the dock once or twice then stop (i.e. they don't start!) Does anyone have a solution to this or how software updater would have stopped them? Oh and i also tried re-doing software updater and that does exactly the same thing.
Any help appreciated
Cheers, Conor

Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?
See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

HT6601 Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?
Why has this update been installed without my knowledge? Why wasn't I given the opportunity to refuse the update? Isn't this update meant to stop this unauthorised access to my computer? Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
So what are your preferences set as regarding updates?
And, are you running ML as shown in your profile?
And, I downloaded and installed this update because there was a possible security issue; however, I have all automatic software update checks and downloads turned off, so i downloaded it manually as it was critical to install it as long as you are using the internet.
Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
Why would you suspect that? -
Unable to save OS 4.0.1 software update in iTunes
I am unable to successfully save the 4.0.1 software update via iTunes. The update starts downloading OK, and even gets to 378MB which should be 100% complete, but then it waits a few seconds and throws up an error, zero KB of 378.0 MB - stopped (err = -3259).
A further pop up box then states there was a problem downloading and the network connection timed out.
Is there maybe a folder I can check for the downloaded file and place it into the one iTunes is wanting to see it? I find it hard to see that it simply vanished after downloading!
For what it's worth, I am using iTunes 9.2.0.61 on Win XP SP3
Anyone have any suggestions?! I don't want to waste the download quota from my ISP.
thanks, JohnI've seen this problem a few times before, it gets to the very end and then fails. I believe this has something to do with some infections on your computer, probably Spyware or Malware which are stopping the file from being saved correctly. You could try resetting Internet Explorer (Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Reset) as Windows is most likely using the IE download manager to download the files, even though it's downloading via iTunes. If you want to see if it actually saved the file, you'd need to look in the iPhone Software Updates save location which as I recall is in (on XP) Documents & Settings -> User -> Application Data (this is a hidden folder, use Folder Options to show hidden folders), -> Apple -> iTunes -> iPhone Software Updates, or something very similar.

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -

If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

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.

While downloading software update for Itunes, got message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do. Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector. Help!
No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.
