Software Update will not recognize an…: Apple Support Communities. Thanks Joey! I wonder why HP just doesn’t say that?

This problem can be solved by removing the following directory and then installing the update via Software Update

Mail Send Failed – “Milter rejected…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting. The work arounds seem to be two things:

  1. Turn off SSL
  2. Change from smtp.mac.com on part: 587 to port 25.
  3. Get another email provider

Is Software Update downloading in the…: Apple Support Communities

Thanks cathy fasano. Nicely done!

Go to System Preferences (under the apple) and Software Update is about the middle of the “Systems” line. On the bottom of the Pref panel for SW Update there are check boxes for checking automatically and downloading automatically. If you spend any significant amount of time attached via an expensive or slow connection, turn them both off.

I would turn off “download automatically” under any circumstances — when you are trying to do something and it runs really slowly, it’s pretty frustrating to realize that it’s because your computer was downloading 500MB of printer driver updates for a printer that broke and you threw in the trash two years ago!

software update hangs after upgrading…: Apple Support Communities

So it appears that just waiting is enough.

Me too. I’m running a mid-2010 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM.

The first couple of times when I tried using the Software Update app, I couldn’t get the download to begin; after I clicked the Agree button, the dialog box closed, but the download never started. The Software Update app was still running, just not doing anything. I’d close the app and tray again with the same results.

Today I tried and the download did download and started to install. When it reach the ‘Registering components’ stage near the end, it appeared to hang at around 98% complete.

Because I was doing onther stuff on my computer, I let it sit there for about 40 minutes. Then, all of a sudden, it finished the install. I’ve opened iTunes and the ‘About’ box tells me I’m running iTunes 10 .4 (80) 64-bit.

So, try again and be patient.

If you have video hosted on Google Video time to move it

Google Videos To Stop Hosting Videos. This is probably frustrating to those people who have uploaded video to Google Video. It takes time to upload video. A better option would be the offer to move them to YouTube automatically or to burn disks and mail them back. I wonder what other services Google will stop offering?

Attention Filmmakers: You Can Now Upload Full Length Films to Vimeo…in HD

Attention Filmmakers: You Can Now Upload Full Length Films to Vimeo…in HD.  This is great.  Do you think this was a response to YouTube increasing its file limit size recently?  There are some great videos there.  I wish WordPress had better support for them.
