Software update check is freezing at only 10%. No error message! Recently I'd installed Aperture 2 and QT Pro. I found that to get updates for Aperture, it has to be registered. So I removed both of them(moved to trash) but still update is not working. Whats the problem?
Frustrating!!
Two other programs installed recently were Flip4 Mac and NTFS for MacOSX.

Thank you! We welcome posts like this one.
You didn’t drag QuickTime Player to the Trash, did you? Also, do you remember how Aperture was installed? Did it come with an installer or did you just have to drag-and-drop it into the Applications folder?

Both programs right click - move to trash. Was it wrong?
Some more info - I've reinstalled quicktime(only) again thinking I would use it without Pro but it automatically became Pro. I've created another admin acc and SU worked fine. It means its a user wide problem. I again logged in with my acc but still not working. Deleted SU Preferences but no use(I did all this from apple discussions). During this I lost all of my preferences and now every prog is starting as if new!!!!
So impatient, can't sleep.
Aperture was a trial package

I'm sorry, just one side note. This thread is starting to read like a saas-bahu serial. Consider selling Ekta Kapoor the rights.

I didn't fully understand your last post, but I guess your problem is that when you go in to Apple software update, the update freezes and you think its because Aperture and QT Pro..right ??
First off, I assume that your internet is working is working properly. It happened to me couple of time and later I realized that it was my wireless problem. Wifi signals tend to interfere with Microwave Oven and TV remote, so just make sure its not your internet problem and start the software update again.
If you've got QT Pro, you will not have to worry about the registration problem, your updated QT version will also be Pro. Do you use little snitch ?? I highly recommend it

Well, no, but it isn’t advisable to remove QuickTime Player.
Why did you want to remove it anyway? What do you use for viewing videos?
Why did you delete the preferences of all the applications? You might as well have started a new user account then.
Yes, but how was it installed? Can anyone else answer this? Does Aperture come with an installer?
When did this start happening? After you installed Aperture or after you removed it?
BTW, while you’re trying to sort out this issue, you can always log into the guest account, launch Software Update and let it do its thing. It’s not necessary to use Software Update from your account only. Also, if it’s any help, there isn’t any new software right now. You can also download latest software updates from Apple’s Support website.

Phew! Three days internet blackout in Goa! BSNL, sify, IDEA GPRS were all down. Withdrawal symptoms were very noticeable.
@Sunny: You better backup. There's nothing like losing all your important data in one go. And you can never tell which hard drive is going to last you and which one will crap out along the way. 250GB external would be more than enough. You can exclude your movies/music folder cause you can always get those again.

Thats right! To find the solution, when I went to apple website and wanted to download Aperture update 2.1 it asked for registration, that leads me to think this is why my SU is freezing!!!!These were the two apps I installed recently. Well, its not QT anymore because SU is working on new admin account. My net connection is ok.
!!I'll follow your recommendation!!
Since I used the trick to get QT pro I thought it being a culprit so I removed it and thought of using without Pro. I was wrong though. Well, I use QT and VLC player.
That true but you guys still need to find the solution. I started using AppCleaner to remove apps (if needed).

Nice read: From Win32 to Cocoa: a Windows user's conversion to Mac OS X—Part II @ Ars Technica - At least check out the last page if the middle bores you.

Had gone for a party yesterday, the last of the Indi-vibes tour through India and DJ WhoSane? (from delhi) was doing the music. And woah! Look! What's that? A Macbook Pro! He was doing all the stuff Live from this Mac (I think it was logic, but I could be wrong). I asked him after his show - why the mac?
"You can't do this stuff on Windows. Besides, I don't want to have to run a virus check every time someone slips me a flash drive to check out a new track while performing. I had a sony vaio which gave me some freaky error at a big gig, that was bad ass. This mac has been worry free ever since I got it! Are you some kind of apple freak?"
*Note: Exact words spoken may vary. But it was pretty much what he said.
Awright! Btw, almost every DJ or musician with a notebook I've seen till date has been using a mac. India's top guitarist Elvis Lobo (plays for Sonu Nigam) is now cursing himself for buying a Vaio. He can't install XP on it and a lot of VSTs are still only compatible with XP.
Am I the new Salesman around here?

Thanks for pointing that article out, Milind. I’d heard mention of it quite a few times but wasn’t inclined to check it out. I’ll comment on that Vista screenshot on the last page in a few.
In the meanwhile, you guys might want to read these eight articles I chanced upon yesterday: *linkbun.ch/dp6 (Click on “Open entire bunch” to open all eight articles in separate tabs.)

I have begun my hunt to buy The Bible of Mac OS X programming.
This book is what I'm going to buy.

So, you’re going to learn Mac OS X programming? Are you starting from scratch, or do you have any prior knowledge about coding and stuff?
