  • Did the 1.3 update fix anything for anyone?

    Hi all,
    Until this evening I had a 'freezer' 24" iMac (i.e an iMac that froze constantly with video problems) and as it was new have just returned it to my local Apple store and replaced it.
    I've re-installed Leopard (clean install) and my apps but now Software Update is bleating at me about "iMac Software Update 1.3". Given threads on these pages and others I am extremely hesitant about installing it.
    Has 1.3 actually fixed anything for anybody or am I better of staying clear until further updates come along?
    All opinions appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I've left the update uninstalled for the same reason. I haven't updated anything since I installed Leopard since I just don't trust these updates. While my computer is not 100% stable I can live with it as it is and I don't want things to get as annoying as some other poor folks are experiencing.
    I'd say unless Apple release a "iMac freezing solution update" that is proved to be effective you and I will both be ignoring Software update.

  • Has anyone tried the "automatic windows update" fix promised to correct error 0X80240438?

    i'm on a work device and do not have administrator privileges to try this out!!
    fix located here:
    http://www.askvg.com/fix-your-purchase-couldnt-be-completed-error-message-when-you-try-to-download-apps-from-windows-8-store/

    I'm beginning to think you're right.  My system update to build 9879 failed with an apparent generic failure code and absolutely no clues to help figure out what device is causing the problem.
    Someone at Microsoft needs to provide some assistance with troubleshooting the update problems instead of leaving everyone to just hang in the wind!
    After being faithful to Microsoft for well over 20 years I guess it's time to move on.
    I guess I've stayed around and played around this town too long!!

  • Nvidia CUDA driver update fixes crashes for Premiere Pro and other applications

    We are seeing reports that the CUDA 5.5.47 driver update released today addresses the crashing problems introduced by the CUDA 5.5.43 driver update in Premiere Pro and other applications.   So, if you have an Nvidia GPU, please update your drivers to use the most recent version of the CUDA driver. 
    Thanks!

    It should be added that only Macs and Quadros need the CUDA driver.  That is not required for use with GeForce cards on Windows.

  • Has the 7.6.1 update fixed ANYTHING for anyone?

    Has anyone who was previously trying to figure out the problems with the iTunes 7.6 update had any success with the 7.6.1 update? There has been a lot of fury and frustration over this version of iTunes and one has little recourse if they didn't backup their library right before the update (since iTunes 7.6 update renders the library unusable if you try to revert to 7.5...thanks Apple!) I'm just wondering if anyone who has began posting mid-January after the initial update has found any solutions.
    I'm hesitant to update to 7.6.1 based on what I've read so far. And I find it unbelievable that Apple has essentially provided an update that has disabled so many people's primary music playback device and jeopardized their reputation in such a drastic way. iTunes is the backbone of Apple's growth market! Word of this has spread fast. A majority of people use their computer for 3 things: Internet, email, and music. Well, so much for the music part if you were foolish enough to upgrade to iTunes 7.6.
    I used to brag about not being a guinea pig beta tester like the PC world was whenever Microsoft updated. Unfortunately, I can no longer make that claim.
    FWIW, my work around has been quite simple. Launch iTunes and walk away for 10-20 minutes. That's how long the beachball lasts. Then I'm fine. iTunes actually works better for me on my Power PC G5 in that I don't get an 8-20 second beachball every time I go to GET INFO to alter tags.
    I'd love to hear how anyone else is dealing with it.

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Nvidia CUDA driver update fixes crashes for After Effects and other applications

    We are seeing reports that the CUDA 5.5.47 driver update released today addresses the crashing problems introduced by the CUDA 5.5.43 driver update.
    So, if you have an Nvidia GPU, please update your drivers to use the most recent version of the CUDA driver.
    On Mac OS, you can update your version of the CUDA driver from the CUDA panel, available from the Mac OS System Preferences. For CUDA downloads, see the Nvidia website.
    Also, make sure that you have installed the most recent updates for your Adobe video applications.

    I actually had a very negative thing happen to me when I updated CUDA to 5.5.47, it broke my computer! Here's what happened and how you might put a band-aid on it for the time being....
    Specs:
    MacPro (Mid 2010)
    Mavericks 10.9.2
    ATI Radieon HD 5770 1024 MB
    1) I went to System Preferences > CUDA > Update and ran the updated for 5.5.47
    2) After the update was successful, I launched Adobe Prelude CC and it crashed immediately. Then I launched Adobe Premiere CC, crashed on startup.
    3) I restarted my computer
    4) Tried launching Adobe Prelude CC again, crashed.
    5) Restarted my computer in Single User Mode, Ran a File System Check, shows that the Mac HD Appeared to Be "Okay"
    6) Rebooted and went to System Preferences > CUDA, it shows that I had 5.5.47 but that a UPDATE WAS REQUIRED, the problem was that it didn't have an update button
    7) I went to the CUDA update website and found the 5.5.47 update for Mac, ran it and it appeared to install successfully, but the applications still crashed and the preference pane for CUDA still showed that an update was required.
    8) I called Apple, they suggested re-installing Mavericks, so I did. Still the apps crashed and CUDA showed 5.5.47 with an update still being required
    9) I searched for CUDA and found that it was in HD > Library > Frameworks
    10) I moved the CUDA Framework file to my Desktop to make a copy and to remove it from the Frameworks folder
    11) Launched Adobe Prelude CC and Adobe Premiere CC and they worked fine.
    I know CUDA does some wonderful things when it works, so if anyone has any suggestions on how to re-install and it get it working again, please let me know.

  • Windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running

    Running Windows 7 on a Dell N5110. 
    I get the above message for Windows Updates. Below that it states: Find out more about free software from (null). 
    I have restarted the computer.

    In addition, the Windows Update shows nothing under view update history and nothing under hidden updates. Change settings allows me to do absolutely nothing. Red Shield with an x and the options are shaded.

  • How to disable the windows update message "Windows update hasn't been able to check for updates for the last 30 days"

    Hi,
    We work on a domain that uses Symantec Management console to administrate our patch enviroment. We have windows updates disabled. But our Windows 8 machines get this message once a month
    "Windows update hasn't been able to check for updates for the last 30 days"
    Just wondering if anyone knows which GPO to use to disable this setting as I have been unable to find it.
    Thanks

    Hi，
    You can turn off the message by GUI in Control Panel\System and Security\Action Center, in the right pane, click "Change Action Center settings", then untick the "Windows Update" option.
    For GPO, you can disable all balloon notifications:
    User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar\Turn off all balloon notifications
    Or remove Action Center icon itself
    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove the Action Center icon
    And I haven't found a GPO to turn on\off a specific message mentioned in the action center, but the setting for the message is related with registry key under
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Action Center\Checks
    but the value under the key is binary, hard to control, if you have interest, you can export the key from a preference pc, then deploy the GPO via
    User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry

  • Windows Update won't find updates for Office 2013?

    Hi,
    I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
    I have Office 2013 Professional Plus.
    Whenever I check Windows Update for updates, it never seems to bring up updates for Office.  I assume there have been at least some updates to Office 2013 since it was released?
    My Windows Update screen tells me:
    "You receive updates: For Windows only."
    When I click the "Find out more" to get updates for other MS products, all that happens is the IE opens up on a page that says "Use your Start menu to check for updates"
    So... how do I get Windows Update to check for updates to Office 2013?  I feel very confused--I mean, shouldn't I be able to set Windows Update to check for updates for a whole host of MS programs (Silverlight, .NET, Office, etc.)?
    I've tried changing the Windows Update settings to include other Microsoft products but there's no option to do so when I check.
    Any insight would be appreciated! Someone recommended I ask here because I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise.

    Check for updates manually
    (Picture), install any missing or pending Windows updates and check the articles below. 
    [Article 1] How to enable the missed options.
    [Article 2] Talks about the same but, different thread.

  • Windows update on windows 7 laptop will not work

    Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.
    I am receiving the above message every time I click the ' check for updates' icon. Restarting does not resolve the problem.
    I have trawled the internet and found a solution that worked for several people- going to services.msc, closing windows update,
    deleting files in c:\windows\software distribution, reopening windows update through services.msc- however this has not resolved the issue for me.
    Under systems.msc it is listed as started, automatic (delayed)
    The Background Intelligence Transfer service is the same. I have checked the profiles of both programs and there are no discrepancies.
    I have used the microsoft fix it program. No effect
    Please help!

    Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver was THE fix for me as well.  I had spent many hours on this today trying to resolve the following errors:
    Windows Update could not get updates because "the
    service was not running" (even though Windows Update and the BITS services and others
    were in fact running). 
    Also Windows Defender Service could not start.  I opened the Windows Defender Control Panel applet, it told me it was stopped, I clicked on the Turn On button, while at the same time I monitored the services app (command prompt - services.msc). 
    I watched the status of Windows Defender service.  It kept changing from Stopped to Started just for a second or so, then the service would immediately stop again.  In Control Panel, Windows Defender finally timed out
    with the same error listed by amerianz:  Error 0x8e5e0247: 0x8e5e0247
    I tried many things from different search results for these 2 issues.  Among other things, after I disabled Antivirus, I stopped WUAUSERV and BITS, renamed Windows\SoftwareDistribution then restarted.  I tried a Windows Update
    FixIt on the Microsoft FixIt center.  It said it found and fixed Windows Update issues, but no change.  I tried running SFC /SCANNOW from command prompt. The log said it found corrupted files but this made no difference.
    Finally after installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, my PC immediately found new hardware and installed a driver.  Note: before installing this driver, all hardware listed in
    Device Manager already had drivers installed.  I was then prompted to reboot.  After rebooting, Windows Update still had a red X and could
    not check for updates.  So I opened the Windows Defender Control Panel applet, which showed that updates were available.  This meant of course that the Windows Defender service had started successfully.  I then clicked on the
    Check for Updates button on Windows Defender, and after several seconds while Windows Defender was looking for updates, I noticed that the
    Windows Update icon had appeared in the system tray and Windows was downloading new updates.  Both issues fixed.  Many thanks.

  • Unable to Resolve Windows Update Issue in Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I recently, as far back as 1 month ago, began experiencing issues with the update service under the Windows 8.1 OS platform.
    I found that I was having to repeatedly run the Windows Update Troubleshooting Tool. This appeared to fix the issue with each run of the tool, but eventually I'd have the same problem receiving updates again. My problem is as follows:
    1. Windows Update service hangs during register analysis.
    2. Unable to reset (stop or restart) wuauserv. 
    3. Unable to reset (stop or restart) Cryptserv.
    4. Unable to reset (stop or restart) BITS.
    5. Unit recently, was unable to connect to internet from Desktop GUI, but was able to connect using Metro GUI.
    I'm not sure is there was a recent update that caused this issue, but I can no longer download updates for my system, nor can I successfully run the Windows Update Fixit tool.

    Hi,
    Let's confirm these situations:
    Now your desktop Internet Explorer can't connect Internet.
    You receiving the same updates again and again.
    If I am right, please check that update's installation status from update history.
    Then refer to this article to troubleshoot:

  • Windows Update does not work

    Windows update always says that there are no new updates (for months now - obviously it's not true). When I try running manually an update file, it almost always gets stuck on "Searching for updates on this computer". 
    Also, usually when I run a program (such as task manager), I succeed only on second try. First time results in: "the stub received bad data".
    I tried all these in different combinations with very limited success:
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    sfc /scannow
    del C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*
    regsvr32 <lots of dlls>
    stopping and restarting these: wuauserv , bits , cryptsvc
    chkdsk c:
    Windows update troubleshooter
    Microsoft FixIt
    Any ideas how I could fix my windows update?

    Hi,
    For the error "the stub received bad data", please check Event Viewer firstly. Generally speaking, it would identify this error message.
    For Windows update problem, Did you install any other updates? Did you installed Widnows 8.1 update 1?
    If this problem persists, I would like to suggest you install Windows 8.1 update 1 manually.

  • Automatic Windows Update keeps shutting off

    I'm running windows 7 64-bit with Windows Defender, Windows firewall and ESET NOD32 anti-virus on a domain network.  Automatic updates keep switching from automatic to manual mode several times throughout the day.  Updates work fine, they just
    don't remain in "auto" mode.  I've tried the following to fix the problem with no luck:
    1) Windows defender and ESET scans with nothing found
    2) Numerous on-line anti-virus / malware scans with nothing found (Housecall, Malwarebytes, etc.)
    3) Kapersky root-kit scan with nothing found
    4) Windows update Fix-IT applied
    5) All update services (BITS, Updater) set to autostart
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I would like suggest you try the follwoing suggestions:
    1. Boot into
    Clean Boot Mode and test the issue.
    2. Try System Update Readiness tool by referring to
    What is the System Update Readiness Tool?
    3. You may try to Reset Windows Update components for check.
    Hope this helps.
