Software Update Problem
« on: 9 September 2005, 22:49 »
It seems to me there is an error when you try to install iTunes 5 through System Update.
Comes up with this annoying thing:



Just to for-warn people.  :) You should download iTunes 5 manually form http://www.apple.com/itunes

Screw that. They've sent us a dodgey installer.

Even if you download from the Apple Site, it does the same thing:



Hope they'll fix it...

I was going to update this weekend, hopefully I have better luck than you do.

Yes. Funny. ............

I dunno, I was just wondering if it was just my mac playing up or some dodgey software.

I did the install on both Mac and Windows, and found it shoddy. I had QT 7.0.1 installed on Windows, and I killed the QT installer before it started. iTunes wouldn't start, citing that it needed QT7 to run.

But I have 7.0.1. It's not asking for 7.0.2, just 7. But then, this whole wierd obsession they have with tying an iTunes release with a corresponding QT release is creepy.

Brought my computer into the office on Sunday and was able to get both Quicktime and iTunes updates with no hassles.  So there.

More gloating: my flawless update was performed in 10.3.9 on a G3 iBook.  Safari, iTunes, and Quicktime are all working perfectly.

When I first turned on the computer, it was connected to a random wireless network in the building, and wouldn't connect to software update.  But once I plugged in the network cable, things were fine.

I updated my iBook last night with out a single error. In fact, in the years since I started using OSX, I haven't had a problem with software update. At all.

What the hell are you guys doing to make your macs suck so bad?

As a failsafe you should scan drive permissions before doing system updates. That'll save you from encountering some pesky problems while updating.
