Will a software update include mail?

I am not asking for any rumors or anything. I am just asking if I were to buy a touch now or before any major hardware changes, and Apple came out with a mail app, would that mail app update to my touch or should I wait until a mail app is available on a new touch.
Thanks

I have no idea how these 3rd party software are being installed to iPT. Do you require an iTunes account? If it requires an iTunes account and you happen to live in countries (eg. Singapore) that do not have an iTunes store, then I would really suggest to wait until Feb'08 when Apple releases more info on the installation.

Will Apple Software Update update a 64 bit version of iTunes

On 64 bit Windows 7, will Apple Software Update update a 64 bit installation of iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Mobile Support to a new 64 bit version of the software when a new version comes out or will it try to install pure 32 bit versions of the software when I use Apple Software Update.
Basically, is Apple Software Update smart enough to realize that the version of Windows 7 I am using is 64 bit and that I used the 64 bit package to install iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Mobile Support, etc originally. I know that the software is not entirely 64 bit, but I would like to keep the parts that are.
Thanks.

The answer is "yes, ASU does download the 64-bit stuff on a 64-bit PC".
I uninstalled iTunes, BonJour and Apple Mobile Device Support (all of which have at least some 64-bit componentry) on the 64-bit Vista system. Did an "iTunes + QuickTime 9.0.3" install via ASU. The 64-bit pieces were all in place after the ASU update. (AMDS program files, iTunes miniplayer stuff, iPod Service Module, 64-bit BonJour namespace provider, and so forth.)

Will the Software Update to 10.4.7 install firmware upgrade for SuperDrive?

Will the Software Update to 10.4.7 install firmware upgrade for a SuperDrive?
I have a Mac mini and I've just let the Software Update run as needed, but I am confused by the number of Apple update downloads listed.
I don't believe I need them, when I just use Software Update?
Seems like a simple question, but I was on Windows for the last 10 years.

Believe Software Update.

Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect

Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect to the Internet. Software Update fails with a suggestion of running Network Diagnostic. Network diagnostic says everything is fine. Firefox connects without any problems. Any ideas. This is my work computer and I need it to work.
Chris

Fixed it myself. Under network settings "Auto Proxy Discovery" was enabled. When I turned this off everything started working again. Not sure how this was enabled in the first place.

HT1222 How long will the software update take?

Installation of software updates in mail, firefox etc.

When I recently did updates to several programs including firefox, safari, and mail, they will not open. It seems the update loaded correctly, but then the program will not open. Any ideas how to fix it?

The computer is set up for automatic updates.
That could be the problem.
General advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.4.11 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

IMac unable to restart after downloading latest software update (including iTunes 11.2)

My system is a mid-2007 iMac (Intel) with latest software updates always promptly installed (OSX Mavericks, etc) and 320 GB internal HD, 4GB Ram.
Today the software updater informed me that an update to iTunes was available and so I allowed it to download the update and then restart the computer. The restart was not successful - the computer display will show the status window progressing as the update is installed and then nears completion, but will freeze at the apparant point of completion and the restart will not complete. I tried restarting several times and it always hangs up and does not complete.
I then ran the Disc Utilities program - first time I ran it, it identified disc problems with the internal HD and proceeded to repair them. Following that I trried to restartt and it ran into the same difficulties and did not restart. Subsequently I ran disc utilities and it reports the internal HD to be fine. I've also tried several times to boot the computer and restore from my Time Machine backups and it will not complete the restore. I do get to the screens where I can select the volume to restore from, the volume to restore to, and so forth. After these efforts were not successful, I finally tried to re-download OSX and do a clean system restore, it progressed nearly to completion and then aborted the system installation without completing.
Since having this problem I've therefore been unable to use the computer in Mac mode. I had just about concluded that my hard disc must be replaced, when I decided to see if I could restart running Windows (bootcamp), and I was able to do that successfully. The hard disc is therefore not damaged, or at least the partition of the hard disc used by Windows is not damaged.
Is my most likely option to replace the hard disc or is there something I can still do, in order to see if the hard disc can be restored using a saved backup, before I replace it?
I have the further complication of finding that the Apple store will not replace the hard disc for my computer because it is over 5 years old. I can probably locate a shop such as Best Buy locally who can do that, or I can simply purchase an external hard disc and use that as my primary hard disc until I either replace the internal hard disc or simply replace the computer. Since it is a 7 year old iMac, it would not be surprising to have to replace the hard disc after this length of time. I also see that there are instructions available online to explain how to replace the internal hard disc myself, but I'm unsure at this point whether or not I want to do it myself.

Lacking any responses to my initial post above, I will briefly update how I resolved this issue today.
Installed new external hard disc, 1 TB WD My Passport for Mac, and straightforward setup involving first installing current OS X operating system, then system migrator utility to rebuild the same setup as saved in latest Time Machine backup. The whole process was somewhat time consuming due to my internet connection speed and USB data transfer speeds but it went without any issues. The computer now boots up and operates identical in all respects to how it did before the problem occurred.
Regarding the internal HD of my iMac, if I now run Disc Utility to verify the disc, it reports "appears to be OK". However, viewing the disc usage in "About This Mac" window, it displays as entirely empty. Opening it in the finder also shows only a "Apple Hot News.mbox" file and a single .jpeg image, and .nothing else.
Interestingly, the Bootcamp partition of my iMac's internal HD continues to work fine and appears unaffected by the problem. I use bootcamp rarely but still will plan to set up a replacement bootcamp volume on the new hard disc soon, in order to take its place.
That the problem surfaced coincident with the software update may have been nothing more than bad luck? At this point I have no reason to suspect that the softward update had anything to do with the difficulties.

Just did software update, now mail won't open!!

I just ran a software update and now may mail application won't open. These are the five updates that I installed:
Backup 3.1.1
iPhoto 6.0.6
Airport Base Station 5.1
iTunes 7.2
Mac OSX Update Combined (PowerPC) 10.4.10
I don't think I needed to install that last one, about the Power PC....Anyone know if that is enough to keep my Mail App. from openenig? I can still check my e-mail via .Mac, just not through my Mail Appliacation.

Did you download the correct Combo for PPC, since it
appears you do not have an Intel Mac?
If the correct Combo version, then I think you should
run Disk Repair from the original Tiger install disk
to check out your hard drive.
How much free disk space do you have on your hard
drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition?
Ernie
Ernie,
thanks for the suggestions. I'm not quite the Mac expert I'd like to be, so bear with me please. How do I know if I downloaded "the correct Combo for PPC, since it appears you do not have an Intel Mac?" Wouldn't my computer automatically download the correct one? How can I check if it's the right one? ALSO,
How do I "run Disk Repair from the original Tiger install disk to check out your hard drive"? Do I need to insert the original startup disk again, or can I do it without it?
When doing info on my mac, it says I only have 6.1 GB left available. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

Will a software update erase everything off my BlackBerry Curve?

My Blackberry Desktop manager says that I can update my 5.0 software to the 6.0 software, but I'm worried if it will erase everything off my phone like my BBM contacts, pictures, music and everything else?

Hello Makenna,
During the software update the BlackBerry® Desktop Software provides a option to Backup the BlackBerry® smartphone.
You can also backup the BlackBerry® smartphone by following the steps shown here:

Will a software update be released that allows for apps, or should I just buy a Touch?

I have the 7th Gen Nano and it's awesome. But I got it as a gift, and I was wondering if there was any development on releasing a software update that would allow some apps. True that the screen isn't exactly optimized for gaming or reading, but there are some practical apps that would be useful on the Nano. I'm just curious.

You should buy an iPod touch. The iPod touch and nano are completely different architectures.

When will a software update for my "generic" N70 w...

Now its been months that the NSU has been out. I already posted my problem that the NSU tells me that my software is upto date and there are no updates available for my phone. But im still running firmware version V 3.0546 RM84. I check this website regularly about once a week to see if any update is available but till date nothing has come up.
Can someone tell me when the NSU will have updates for my simfree /generic N70 please ?

I need the LAST line on *#0000#. It says: Nokia N70, plus a code between parentheses (i.e.: (02) or (57.02). If your code is four digits (xx.yy) then it's NOT "Generic", and you might have to wait a little longer. If the code I mean is TWO-digit (0x), there should be an update available, and if you continue to get the message that none is available even if you have a two digit code, you should consider posting your product code (which is to be found under the battery compartment on a sticker (code: #######) and consists of 7 digits. if the first digit is a 0, pleae DO include it when posting.
PS> When you post your version here be sure to post it entirely, like:
V 2.0628.0.0.1
10-07-2006
RM-133
Nokia N73 (57.02)
which is my version. The line in BOLD is the one I need.
FYI: 57.02, for the N73 means that you have a Benelux CV Euro2-model, unbranded.
V3.0704.1.0.1
19-01-2007
RM-133 Nokia N73(57.01) Product Code:0539338

Problems with 10.5.2 software update & G-mail

Since I downloaded the 10.5.2 version a couple of days ago, I have had problems when writing my e-mails at G-Mail. I will explain:
Imagine you are composing an e-mail in G Mail. With Apple you have 2 choices:the old and the new versions in G Mail. In the new version, when typing the e-mail...it doesn't remember the contact list...so you have to type each letter of the e-mail in the TO:....CC...and BCC...and that is a real pain the back...right?
..The other problem is that..when typing the body of the e-mail...and try to type a capital letter...the mouse arrow/pointer...goes straight to the...TO:...part of the e-mail...to solve it...you have to do a trick...that after a while...you get a headache...by moving the pointer and the shift key back and forth.
My question..were the Apple software developers in a hurry to see a foot ball game or what..for they didn't finish and tested the software before releasing it.
Please fix it before I get migraines....trying to compose e-mails in G-mail

I get the same problem since the recent software downloads on both my iMac and ibook and with wired & wireless keyboards
When I use the shift key while writing an email message the pointer goes up into the subject or address boxes.
This happens in both Mail & Gmail and the only way round it is to bring the curser back to the message box and hold caps lock & shift together.

Last software update makes mail hyperlinks crash safari.

Don't let the windows people taht u know about this, but just ran a Safari update and a firmware update for my NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 graphics card. Now, clicking on hyperlinks in an AppleMail messages shuts down safari. after it's shut down, can double click on the same link and successfully open the desired page.
Also, the screen does not seem as bright and the text is more dark gray with less contrast then the pure sharp black it was before clicking on software upgrade.
anyone else having this problem?

Thank You for your reply.
Good idea, I repaired permissions ( after the fact). That didn't work but i haven't restarted the machine yet. I'm currently finishing u a Final Cut project so I will hold off resetting the PRAM.
I can make new tabs but I can't create a new browser page . Also, before the update i noticed that the tool bar is shifted to the right about 2 inches and I can't force it back .

No websites will load after update, including google, I have tried all recommendation provided by Firefox.

It seem that while updating to Firefox 28 from 27, my computer was unplugged. After it restarted, Firefox seem fine, but no websites would load only on Firefox. I have tried removing Firefox completely, including registry files then re-installing. I added Firefox to my firewall and antivirus. It worked prior to the update, but I'm also concerned if the loss of power while updating screwed it up. I pasted the Firefox log below:

Mail crashes after software updates

I'm working in OSX.2.8 and yesterday downloaded some software updates, including security updates. Today, both Mail and Safari won't launch. Mail starts to launch then crashes, and I get that message "the application has unexpectedly quit, the system and other apps have not been affected." Safari doesn't launch at all - the icon on my dock bounces a few times, but nothing else happens.
I have tried dumping the Mail preferences but the problem was not solved. Any advice would be much appreciated!

All your mailboxes appear empty after the
conversion?!
Yes!
Which steps did you follow to upgrade to Tiger? Did
you do an Archive and Install of the new
system or did you do something else?
Er, no, I did not do Archive and Install. I just installed it via FireWire from my husband's computer, because my computer doesn't have a DVD driver. I didn't lose any other files though, just my emails.
Did Mail automatically proceed to import your mail
when launched for the first time after having
upgraded to Tiger, or did you do something in order
for that to happen?
It offered to import my mail, so I said OK.
How many accounts do you have and what type are they
(POP, IMAP, .Mac)? How is your Mail organized? Do you
archive it in "On My Mac" custom mailboxes?
I have three accounts, all POP. If by "On My Mac custom mailboxes" you mean mailboxes that I created, then yes, that's where they were archived. I was kind of expecting to lose my Inbox but not everything else.
