When trying to use software update, get error NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

I don't know if this is a result of anything I did.  It started happening after I installed the latest version of Garageband.  When I went into that app, and selected one of the instruments, it directed me to use software update to get all the data for the instruments.  That's when I first got the message box.  Later, I uninstalled Garageband, and still the update problem continues.  Obviously, when this problem first occurs, it will have been after installing *some* app, so I have no way of knowing whether Garageband is involved.   I don't think I can update any of my applications until this problem is fixed.
The full text of the message box:
An error has occurred
The operation couldn't be completed.
(NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)

Try this:
Fix for Software Update
See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.
Delete the following files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist where "xxx" is a number.
/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ (delete entire folder)

  • Getting Error Message when trying to use Software Update in the Mac App Store...

    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone knows what this error message in the Mac App Store means. I am trying to run Software Update by clicking in the Apple Menu however, I am not able to see my available updates and instead get the following message on the Mac App Store:
    I have tried to fix the error by deleting both the Mac App Store Caches and plist files in the user library and made sure that I am properly logged into the Mac App Store with my personal Apple ID.
    What else can I do?

    I've been having the same issue. It was all fine until yesterday when I was searching for updates.
    Since when have you been seeing this error message?
    Last time I checked for an update was about 2 weeks ago and there were no errors reported. However, today I wanted to update iTunes to version 10.7 and decided to use the standalone installer rather than the SU version. Still, I decided to run the MAS Software Update function in order to ensure that my computer had all its software up-to-date and then I get this message. I don't think that me installing iTunes is to blame. Probably, it could be an internet connection problem on Apple's end I am still submitting a bug report to Apple.
    Now one question, who is your ISP (internet service provider)? In my case I have Comcast and I am in Florida.
    Thanks for your reply!

  • Error when trying to use Software update

    I was trying to update the software on my Powerbook when I get the following message from the software update:
    Make sure you have permission to write to /tmp/501/Temporary Items/com.apple.Software Update, then try again.
    Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it? Thanks!

    Hi Again Lille!
    The first thing you should do is run Repair Permissions, and then try Software Update again.
    If that doesn't help, there are some other things to look at.
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP until the only message it reports is:
    "We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.
    New permissions are 33261"
    This is a status message and not a cause for concern. You may safely ignore it.
    Or these:
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/jobs. New uid is 1"
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/spool. New uid is 1"
    Again, these are status messages, which appeared after Security Update 2005-001.
    There may be others that you can ignore. Complete list at link below.
    Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.3.x
    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
    Good Luck!

  • I have downloaded Photoshop Elements demo version but when trying to use it I get a configuration error (number 16). I have a PC and Windows XP.

    I have tried to uninstall and have down loaded again but I get the same error, does anyone know what to do?

    Hi Helenak,
    You might try creating a new user acct with admin right and try installing Elements from there.
    This might help with the process:

  • When trying to use sharing, I get Connection Failed

    When trying to use my OSX 10.75 laptop to access files on my OSX 10.6.8 laptop it says "Connection Failed". In the console, it says:

  • RPC server is unavailable when trying to download software updates through SCCM 2012

    I have read plenty of articles concerning RPC server problems and non of them seem to relate to this issue.  I have been trying to set up my CM 2012 server to deploy software updates and I am to the point of just needing to filter the updates, download
    and deploy them.  When I try to download the updates from the internet, I get an RPC server unavailable error and it closes.  I have checked the RPC service and all of its dependencies, verified that it is looking for a correct microsoft update service
    point, disabled my firewall and opened all ports on the firewall just to verify that it wasn't that, and ping tested a few other external sites (aka: Newegg.com/google.com) to see if I could get replies (which I did).
    Not really sure where to go from this point.  Anyone else encounter this before or know how one might fix it?

  • HT1926 when trying to instal itunes update i got an error, will downloading itunes again erase my current library?

    When trying to instal an itune update on my Pc i got an error message, should i download itunes again, and if i do so will it erase my current library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • HT1338 when I click on software update it says ''An error occurred while checking for updates.'' Why does it say that?

    So I bought a Powerbook G4 from a pawn shop and yes, I did check to see if it was still good. everything works fine but I need an update because I have OS X 10.3. So I connect to the internet and then I click on ''Software Update'' and I wait. But then a message opens saying ''An error occurred while checking for updates'' And I don't know why. HELP!!!

    Something temporarily wrong with your internet connection?
    Be aware that this is a very large file to download, it needs a strong consistent internet connection.
    Have the iPhone on the charger cable too.
    In the meantime read the threads in this forum about the visibility item and some other possible issues on the 4 and 4S (although a large number of people have these issues, it is still a minor percentage, but anyhow, be aware).
