My macbook won't update. It says that it's updating, restarts, but doesn't actually install any updates. Help?

I've tried several times to update my Macbook software, but each time it says it will begin the process it restarts, and doesn't do anything. This is really frustrating, because a lot of the programs I want to use require new updates. Please help!
My macbook is right around 2 years old.

Model A1286
OS X 10.6.8
I haven't been able to install any updates at all since I first got the Macbook. It hasn't caused much of an issue until now- most websites at this points require updated versions of several plug-ins.
Here's the list that the software update gives:
     Safari ver 5.1.7
     Macbook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7
     Apple Software Installer Update 1.0
     Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.0
     Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 12
     Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.3
     iPhoto Update 9.2.3
     Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7
     GarageBand Update 6.0.5
     iTunes 11.0.1
     Security Update 2012-004 1.0
     Airport Utility 5.6.1

if it's ntfs microsofts filesystem then you need a windows machine to recover them

Officejet 6310 won't print. message says that there's no paper, but there is plenty of paper.

Printer function not working. Message says that I don't have any paper. Well, now it is grabbing paper, sounding
like it is printing, and spitting out an empty page. There's a bit of fuzzy gray ink, just in one spot. Oh dear. This has worked perfectly until now, and it's 3 1/2 years old. Thanks for any help.

I let it be for the rest of the night and tried again this morning; it fixed itself??

I have an ipad2 and everytime I try to use the camera conector kit to read a sd card I got a message saying that the device is not compatible withe the ipad, can any one help me please?

Subject:

First, try gently blowing into the dock connector on your iPad to make sure there's no debris in there. That can sometimes cause accessories to malfunction. If that doesn't clear it up, try rebooting your iPad:
To reboot your iPad, hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. If, during this process, a slider appears on the screen to power it off, ignore it and keep holding the buttons down.
Rebooting your iPad can solve a lot of problems.

I have bought the one direction midnight memories album, it says purchased on the iTunes app but doesn't give me any option to download it, only 3 of the songs downloaded

I have gone into the purchased music and 15 out of the 18 songs don't show up for download but on the iTunes Store it says purchased

Did you make this purchase on an iPad or a Mac? If purchased on iPad have you attempted to complete album from the iPad iTunes store or the Mac iTunes store?

PLSS HELP ME OUT !!!!

Sounds like your phone was hacked to work with any network. Doing the update re-locked it to the original carrier. All you can do now is contact the carrier it is locked to to see if they have an unlocking policy. Note that if it's AT&T they do not offer unlocking. otherwise find an un-activated sim for the original carrier and you can use it as an iPod.

I am wondering if you can get live wall papers for iPhone, i down loaded app that said live wall papers but they did not do any thing

I am wondering if you can get live wall papers for the iphone 4s, i down loaded app that said live wall papers but they didnt actually do any thing... I am looking for the ones that move and stuff...

if you downloaded an app outside of app store it would be a jailbroken app which cant run on non jailbroken iphones
also "live" wallpapers suck battery alot

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hi, after that crash of my MacBook Pro I download again Lightroom 5 with my license serial number removed , but the system say that my number is wrong, but is not. What shall I do???, thanks

You probably downloaded the Lightroom Creative Cloud version. Your Perpetual License key will not work.
Uninstall the existing version of Lightroom, this process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files.
Then download the correct version from the link below, install and enter the license. Every thing should be just fine. (Also by displaying your License Key for all to see anyone can use it to have a free copy of the program)
