Software scheduled check 10.7.5
I have os x 10.7.5 on mac mini. The software update scheduled check is set to daily. It never seems to automatically check. I always have to do a manual check.

Hi Victor,
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Then delete the original of this last file since moving only copies it.
Reboot, set it up again & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have made the change and now waiting to see if the automatic check occurs. I will let you know how it goes.
Good luck, anxious on the results! 🙂
I have given it 24hours and unfortunately Scheduled Check status is "Last check: Software Update hasn't been used yet". I will give it another day before I click on Check Now.
I checked the creation date of /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist and it was yesterday.
Just wondering, is it off at night & maybe the daily was set at an hour that it's not on?
Oh, I haven't seen any updates for 10.7.5 in awhile.
I have just set the sleep configuration to Never. I will see what happends over night. Thank you for your guidance on this. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the report... anxious to solve this one way or another! 🙂
Unfortunately the Scheduled Check still reports that it has not run. I checked and the Never Sleep option was still enabled.
Whew???

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
