Okay, I've read several threads where users could not get iTunes 4.8, Apple Intermediate codec, or the like to show up in their Software Updates.

Here's the likely scenario:

These users all installed Tiger using the archive and install method.

What happened? When Tiger was installed, all of the old receipts (including iLife '05) were left behind in the Panther system (previous system folder). Go check your /Library/Receipts and see for yourself.

So if you can't get iTunes 4.8 to show up in your SU? That's more than likely why.

Nope.

Mine is a brand spanking new Dual 2.0 with a factory Tiger image and no "migration".

All new, and no iTunes. However, I did get some Codec thing today.

Ditto; I never got iTunes 4.8 to show up on my reformatted 'Tiger' installation, nor the DVD Player update, but the Intermediate Codec 1.0.1 update appeared in the SU app just as advertised.

Kristoff · May 12, 2005, 01:11 AM

Wait, there's a DVD player update too?

WTF?

viruscool · May 12, 2005, 02:41 AM

I updated from Panther to Tiger and I was unable to see iTunes 4.8 in the SU, also there is no Codec update in there either. Has anyone got a solution yet?

alphasubzero949 · May 12, 2005, 03:44 AM

Can those with a iTunes 4.7.1 receipt confirm that 4.8 shows up in SU?

JLL · May 12, 2005, 03:51 AM

AFAIK iTunes has always been released as a download only and then shows up in SU a couple of days later.

No, it does not.

Franz · May 12, 2005, 05:39 AM

I did a erase and install (aka clean install) and neither the iTunes or DVD Player updates show up in Software Update for me. I did get the Intermediate Codec thing though.

Goldfinger · May 12, 2005, 06:05 AM

I did a clean install of Tiger. The only thing I get in SU is the Qmaster update that I already installed last week. I'm not seeing, iTunes 4.8, that codec thing nor the dvd plater update.

Seconded. I have iTunes 4.7.1, the receipt for it and iTunes 4.8 does not show up in Software Update.

Seems Apple just isn't releasing it through SU for some reason. It has happened before.

iTunes 4.8 hasn't been posted on Software Update yet

Not the case for me. I did a new install of 10.4 and iLife and it showed the "Intermediate codec" but not DVD player or iTunes.

bradoesch · May 12, 2005, 11:37 AM

Doesn't Apple stagger the release of updates with Software Update?

SSharon · May 12, 2005, 12:03 PM

I have a clean install of Tiger and got nothing in SU after multiple checks. I downloaded iTunes from the web and never even heard of the codec or dvd player updates. I did install some codecs from 3ivx and divx.com though.

I did a clean install too . . . and i've yet to see anything in the SU.

Goldfinger · May 12, 2005, 12:21 PM

Now I'm getting the Apple Intermediate Codec, Pro App support 3.0 and the Shake Qmaster update. No iTunes or DVD player.

I installed the updates and now they show up again in SU.

SU is definitely borked.

chris v · May 12, 2005, 12:25 PM

No iTunes update here on 10.3.8.

gururafiki · May 12, 2005, 12:31 PM

Well, whether Apple staggers their downloads (which I have never noticed), or whether they wait a couple of days before they post the update on SU (which I have noticed, but it has never been a few days, only hours), these updates are NOT showing in SU. When will this issue be taken care of, with 10.4.1?

gururafiki · May 12, 2005, 12:34 PM

I just realized this all started for me with the G5 Superdrive firmware update. That updated never showed on my SU, and nothing new has shown since...

The 10.4.1 that won't show up in SU ?

ManOfSteal · May 12, 2005, 01:51 PM

Phew, glad I'm not the only one...I was thinking yesterday that my SU was borked. Guess not!

iTunes 4.8 showed up in my SU just now.

Same here, but DVD player is still not in there.

gururafiki · May 13, 2005, 02:58 AM

Yeah, iTunes 4.8 is now showing, but nothing else is...yet.

Briareus · May 13, 2005, 05:33 PM

I've had nothing show up in SW - ended up just downloading iTunes & DVD Player.

What is the Intermediate Codec 1.0.1 update anyway? It says for people using QuickTime 7 & FC or iLife 05. I have QT 7 and iLife 05, but running the installer says no applicable volumes to install on. Guess I don't need it, but I'm curious.

MrForgetable · May 13, 2005, 06:39 PM

crap! i deleted my previous system folder too. haha.

i also don't have a library/receipts folder.

kster · May 14, 2005, 09:36 PM

I'm running Tiger New Install on New Raptor Drive installed in a PM G5. I didn't get the iTunes 4.8 or the DVD 4.6 updates either. I am unable to download anything thru safari, firefox, or IE. I can't even force a download from the apple website. In order to get iTunes 4.8 was to download it on my PC and copy over to G5. I have checked everything and verified my drive still no downloads thru SU. I even restarted w/ other HD w/ 10.3.9 and still no SU. I couldn't even download the driver needed for my 3rd party mouse.

Hope there's a fix soon. I like tiger even though its a bit buggy now.
