According to the iTunes specific error codes web site.

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
See if the iPad will boot up this way.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -

Hi there,

Office 2011 version 14.0.1 update can't be installed on this disk.
Hello,
I am having some issues with Word for Mac (Microsoft Office 2011) and am trying to find update solutions (even though my software is up to date according to my iMac).
When I try and install the updates the error box reads: "A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume".
I have no idea what this means?!?!?!
I realise this is not a Word for Mac forum, but is anyone else experiencing issues of saving files to docx format?
This is why I am trying to install software updates.
If you can assist, I would greatly appreciate it.This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office in any way.

Need help with "OS X Update Combined (10.8.2) can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating Javascript for the package."
Any ideas or suggestions?
ThanksWell, I've tried your solution without luck.
So, I tried reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion (without formatting the HDD) and it worked! I did it like this:
- Turned on my MBP while holding down Command-R to start OS X Recovery
- Chose the option to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion
After a while, the system rebooted and OS X 10.8.2 was already installed. All my data remained on the HDD since I didn't format it before reinstalling OS X.
Hope it helps some of you with the same problem. -

The update "GarageBand Update" can't be installed
"The update “GarageBand Update” can’t be installed
A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
Once while installing an update I lost net connectivity. Since then whenever I download this particular update i get an error msg. All other updates work just fine.
How do I rectify this?try downloading the update by hand from the apple website instead of using Software Update.
