software update

It's probably an innocuous bug but I'm worried that it could be a side-effect of a malware/hack and that the update is not genuine. It has been like this for a few months (I haven't updated past 14.4 because of it) so if it's a bug then it would be surprising that Apple hasn't fixed it...

Situation: variety of intel-era iMacs currently running mucho paid-for 32bit production software at blazing speeds (i.e., Mojave from HFS+ partitions with MRT, Spotlight, notifications, and other annoying bits disabled). For obvious reasons, we cannot have these machines "upgrading"...

Posting this because I'm absolutely flabbergasted... I have had a 230 gigabyte folder (AppData>Roaming>Apple Computer>iTunes>iPhone software updates) of what appear to be old software updates on my computer. I can't believe that an application was designed with such poor storage management. This...

NOTE: I’ve attached relevant screenshots for all of the issues I describe below. If anyone else out there owns a 256 GB iPhone 8 Plus (preferably Product Red), and you have installed iOS 15.5.x or 15.6.x (especially today’s release of 15.6.1), may you PLEASE respond with the amount of disk...

Everytime I try and check for an update in settings > general > software update, it just tells me an error occurred while trying to check for an update. Never had this happen before. Currently on 15.2, trying to update to 15.4. Anyone else seeing this?

Hi Guys, my iPhone 6s unexpectedly updated to 14.1 overnight. I didn't instruct the update, just woke up to a screen full of chinese writing. when I pressed the home button the screen changed to say "Software Update Complete" and a button asking me to CONTINUE. When I press that it asked me to...

good afternoon! There was a problem with the MacBook Pro 13 ”TouchBar 2018. Recently, an update arrived, I set it to update, everything was in regular order. After some time, a gray screen appeared demanding either to select a boot disk or Update. Both options yielded nothing, and I decided to...

Hi There, Since Day One of the macOS 10.15 beta seeds, I can't complete the download via Software Update. Each and every tentative ends up with the same alert message : "The request timed out. An error occured while installing the selected updates." Approximatively 2/3 of the file is downloaded...

So, I haven't updated my MBP in several years (I know, not good).. It's a 2010, and the software is 10.6.8. As a result, a lot of software doesn't work on it, so I must update it now. When I go to the software update on Finder, it only comes up with the App Store update. What is the best way to...

Now, I'm sure most of us are aware with Google's malware Software Update, which installs itself when using Google apps, and we know ksfetch malfunctions with Little Snitch and triggers an alarm window, which pops every couple of hours. I've looked online, but all the solutions I found and tried...

Just to be clear: 1) I haven't changed any hardware on this machine. I don't mean recently, I mean ever. 2) This has happened before and used to be quite a common problem. I just forgot how I resolved it and now all i can find is how to solve this happening due to hardware changes. In "About...

I have an '09 Mac Pro, flashed from 4,1 to 5,1. Does anyone know if software update no longer supports this model and, if not, is there a hack that will allow the Mac Pro to be recognized by software update? Theoretically, the 5,1 flash should have eliminated differences between it and the...
