10.4.7 Update Failed, Now Software Update Broken

I tried to update from 10.4.6 to 10.4.7, but the update failed. I then tried the update via the package that was downloaded. No luck. Now, when I try to launch Software Update, it dies.
Any help would be great appreciated. I am pretty much a newbie at OS X (1.5 years), after using Windows for 15 years.
Here is the error report. Notice that it says I am running 10.4.7

Hello Chad:
You do need to run repair disk from your software install DVD (you cannot repair a boot drive from the same drive). If that fails to repair errors, you have a couple of options.
Alsoft's DiskWarrior is the "gold standard" of directory repair (pricey at about $90, but worth it).
If you used a program like SuperDuper to create a bootable clone on your external HD, you simply need to restore it. If you do not have a bootable clone, you really cannot restore from the external HD.
If you do have your data backed up in some fashion (but not a bootable clone), I would suggest you run an archive and install (see above). A&I will install a fresh copy of OS X (you would have to update it, of course) and also preserves your own programs, files, and settings.

  • Apple updates failing (via Software Update and Manual .dmg) but other installs complete.

    Hello,
    Currently on an iMac 3.06 Core 2 Duo, 10.6.8
    All the current updates in my Software Update (iTunes 10.6.1, Java Update 7, Safari 5.1.5) will not install, and will not install via manual .dmg download either. Other NON apple updates/installs I download will install via the installer just fine.
    I've done the usual permissions repair from current disk utility version, as well as persmissions and disk repair via boot from install disk. Rebooted, no changes.
    Console keeps showing similar errors as follows:
    4/7/12 4:34:12 PM
    installd[987]
    Package Authoring Warning: Will not do obsoleting for package com.apple.pkg.update.softwareinstallerupdate.1.0 because it contains unsafe bundles.
    I'm pretty stumped. I have a 1tb drive, and there is 60gb free. If this was a disk space issue, I would assume other updates would fail also.
    Thoughts?

    Same issue. Mid summer went to update Aperture, got to the "Moving items into place" and just stayed there. Then, when all the update for Mountain Lion came out, same thing with iPhoto's update. Tryed the .dmg's, same thing. Many hours on phone, established a second administrator account, checked out the HD's status, still the same. Booting into Safe Boot allowed the installation(s) to complete, but not a great solution. I thought that this was my machine, but my wife's near identical 13" MBPro did the same thing yesterday when she tried via Software Update. Again, Safe Boot allowed the installations to complete.
    One thing, it seems only to happen on Apple's graphics or "lifestyle" apps ... iWork went OK, but Aperture, iPhoto, iMovie are the ones that seem to hang. Maybe that can help diagnose this. For what it's worth, I think the problem is something gone amiss in Apple's installers for some of these programs.

  • 10.9.4 installed, now Software Update and App Store won't open

    Ahoy.
    I installed the 10.9.4 update and now Software Update and the App Store won't open.  I don't know what other information might be relevant here.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

  • Iphone 4 locked after failed latest software update

    iphone 4 locked up after a failed latest software update
    now it is not showing up or recognized by itunes.
    Any suggestions. or is it the crap apple software?
    Thanks - robert

    As for the problem and help, I just stopped by AT&T and they took care of it.
    As for my disparaging remarks, it is the way I feel and felt like voicing it at the moment.  As I recall this is still a free country (Obama thankfully has not been able to screw everything up) and I personally have never liked apple products or software. That’s my personal opinion, it is crap. This particular phone is supplied by corporate and I will get a different phone as soon as request is approved. MS software has always been much better than apple products in my experience and at a much better price.
    Best Regards,

  • Update to 10.4.4 now software update does not work

    Updated using the standalone installer and now Software Update will not launch, although I can run it from the Preference pane. Tried repair permissions. Ran cron scripts. Ran the combo update. Still no luck. Any ideas. Thanks.

    Confusing because they contradict each other. Where are you trying in the failed instance? From the About this Mac menu item? Please be a bit more specific. If my assumption is correct, then create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if it works there. Report back.

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • Recently updated to itunes 10.6.1, but during update it says itunes does not have a valid signature and update fails ,now older version is not able to connect to itunes store

    Recently updated to itunes 10.6.1, but during update it says itunes does not have a valid signature and update fails ,now older version is not able to connect to itunes store error 306. I am using windows 7.

    (Apologies for butting in, wha.)
    now older version is not able to connect to itunes store error 306. I am using windows 7.
    If you still get the 306 after updating to 10.6.1.7, perhaps try the following user tip:

  • Security update 003 installed, Software Update now wants 002!

    I saw that Apple Security Update 2011-003 was available so I followed the link, downloaded it and installed it. Now Software Update alerts me that it wants to install yet another Security Update (number 002). What is going on here? Should I allow the download and installation?

    Security updates generally are not cumulative, so 2011-003 probably does not include any fixes from earlier updates. If Software Update is listing another update, I'd suggest you go ahead and let it install.
    Regards.

  • I had a itune update fail, now I get an error message (windows error 2). what do I need to do?

    I had an itune update fail. now I get an error message. "windows error 2". I can not open itunes!

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Tryed to update my iphone4s, the update fail, now itunes can not see my phone

    tried to update my iphone4s, the update fail, now iTunes can not see my phone

    Hi kjpservices,
    So it sounds as if your iPhone does not appear in iTune after a failed update to iOS, is that right? In order to get it back into iTunes you will want to use one of these articles, depending on what kind of computer you have -
    For a Windows PC, use this -
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you are using a Mac, use this -
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    Once you get ths iPhone back into iTunes, try the update again. If it fails, post back and we can continue troubleshooting from there.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

  • I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open.  Any ideas on what may have caused this and to fix it?

    If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectal

    I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!

    Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot.  After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

  • Add an Update to the Software Update Group - where it's been monitored?

    Hello all,
    I'm looking for a solution to get the Updates for adding to a Software Update Group in SCCM 2012 R2.
    Which components (Message type, Severity, Message ID,...) are concerned?
    Or which log files are concerned?
    I will use the "Status Filer Rules" to create an new rule that will send me an E-Mail which let me know all the Updates what have been added to the Software Update Group.
    Many Thanks
    Andreas

    Just add an update to a software update group and see if a status message is being generated. Without having tested it: I think there will be one, but it will only tell that user xyz modified SUG abc, but you won't see which update was added.
