10.6.8 Combo Update Download Broken

I’ve been trying to download the 10.6.8 Combo Update, but the download seems to be broken. Instead of the stated 1.09 GB, the download completes after 1.00 GB and the dmg won’t mount, citing an error through a pop-up dialog.
I’ve tried downloading in both Safari 5 and Chrome 14.
Is there a way to notify Apple of this? Is there a mirror? Can anything be done?

OS X 10.5.4 Combo update download freeze up

I have been trying to download the latest OS from both Software Update as well as the Apple Downloads site, but have never been able to download any updates (including latest iTunes, Quicktime, etc.) any longer than about 25 minutes, then the download freezes. I don't have a firewall, am connected via dsl directly to internet, have no problems downloading from any other site, have restarted in safe mode, tried safari as well as firefox.
Any other ideas why? Thanks so much

The only thing that looked suspicious in Console was compatibility issues with Virtual PC, which I have since uninstalled & restarted. I've tried DLing separate updates, but thus far every DL has froze. Now I'm wondering what other compatibility issues I may have and whether that would affect DLs?
You did not answer my question about whether you can download anything that takes over 25 minutes?
I still suspect it's your ISP, not your computer. There is no timer in the computer. If you have sufficient HD space and RAM, there is nothing preventing you from downloading all day long. I have downloaded files that took hours, and sometimes stream programs for hours at a time.
Check with your ISP if they are "capping" your downloads. Some do and do not say anything about it. Comcast was recently caught "capping."

10.8.5 Combo Update

I can't update Flash Player and Office 2011 since I updated to 10.8.5.
I receive this message (aprox.): "Your OSX version has to be 10.5.8 or superior". How can I fix this issue?
I'm using an Early 2011 15'' MacBook Pro. Thanks!

Hello again,
Finally I tried to re-install the Combo Update downloading on my Mac and it still give me the error message:
"Unable to install OS X Combo Update on this drive. There was an error in evaluating the JavaScript package"
Any idea?
Thanks

How the client machine could to get the combo update from SUS?

Hi everybody!
How the client machine could to get the combo update from SUS? My SUS working for clients comp and showing the Mac OS X 10.6.5 Update - not Combo Update (Combo Update downloaded also and I can see it in Server Admin)! But I would like to install the Combo Update - is it possible? How I can get the Combo Update if it is not shown in the list?
Thank you in advance!

You can download the Combo manually from Apple.

Safari won't open after 10.6.8 combo update, Yosemite won't download.

Background: [Experts welcome to avoid this by skipping to the next paragraph] I need to update my MacBookAir to Yosemite from Snow Leopard. To answer the obvious, since most who read this think I'm practically working with an abacus and smoke signals: I've been avoiding upgrades because I just didn't see the need to spend the money when I wasn't having any issues. The issue now is that I can't get Norton support with Snow Leopard. So, having heard of the free upgrade to 10.10, I went for it. --And no, I'm not a cheapskate. In fact, I couldn't afford the Air to start with, but some fool gave me a credit card and-- well, there you go.
The problem: I want to (finally) upgrade from Snow Leopard to Yosemite. I downloaded the 10.6.8 combo pack to my MacBookAir (11-inch, late 2010), necessary to get an App Store update that would allow the download of Yosemite. [This is how I was successful in going through this same process with my MacMini (early 2010). Although there's a Java problem there that's baffling--another question, another thread.] The machine tells me the combo pack update installed successfully, but I can't get past that step to OS 10.10. When I open the App Store and navigate to Yosemite and select to get it, nothing happens. Additionally, and most troubling, is that now Safari won't open for more than a couple of seconds before "unexpectedly" shutting down For what it's worth, Mail works fine, so internet connectivity doesn't seem to be the issue.
What I've tried:
     -Software Update. Air tells me the operation can't be completed because I don't have permission.
     -Verified both start up disc and HD, including repairing permissions. Still no go on updates.
     -Not banging my head against the wall. This has been successful thus far. However, I'm willing to go there if it will help.
Thanks in advance for guidance
p.s. I'm willing to--for the short term--go back to pre-10.6.8 combo update if that's what I need to do to use Safari.

Problem already solved! Found a existing thread with the same issue!

Why 2GB Lion Combo Update takes 4 hours to download?

Why 2GB Lion Combo Update 10.7.5 takes 4 hours to download from Apple Servers? I cannot update from Software Update app. In two tries, 8 hours waiting, two times after download finish, get download error. Software Update could not save the file. Any suggestion? Thanks!

depends on Broadband download speed or cellular speed from your carrier

Don't use the Software Update in Preferences - download the Combo Updater !

Software Update failed and I had to archive/install back to 10.5 - just download the Combo Updater and you should be ok.

To close this thread - the Combo update worked perfectly and my machine is exactly how it was before starting the update process - except for about 12 gig, which I assume the archive/install ate up.

Should I download delta or combo update for a new MBP with problem?

Hi everyone, my cMBP is a mid 2012 15 iChat version, the screen brightness control and auto graphics switching functions r disappeared by themselves, until recently I heard about combo and delta update, so I hoping this update can solve my problem,
My os x is 10.8.3 out of the box n I haven't do any update yet,
So should I download delta 10.8.3 or 10.8.3 combo?
Will I able to download 10.8.3 delta in the same os x 10.8.3 system?
Should I straight away download combo 10.8.5 update or download 10.8.3 first to prevent problems bring to the new os x version?
Or should I redownload the os x 10.8?
Does this combo update help me?
Btw my mac warranty will expired on mid April
Thanks everyone for helping me!

I would download and install the 10.8.5 Combo Update. It's my preference as it contains all updates from 10.8.2 through 10.8.5.

Download combo update fails, again and again

Any ideas on what this might be about? I have an Octo MacPro 2.8Ghz with a new installation of the original OS - 10.5.1 and whenever I try and update it with either the combo or an older update I get a "failed to validate this update" error message during startup. I can't use any of my newly purchased Avid software because this version needs 10.5.5 or above! Please Help!

HI,
Try deleting this file. com.apple.softwareupdate.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
You've had issues with this before?

Try repairing disk permissions.
First, Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
You are running Software Update from your admin account ???
You could try downloading the 10.5.6 combo update 10.5.6 combo update then using Pacifist to extract the .dmg file.

Bad download of OS 10.4.4 Combo Update

I have not succeeded in getting a "good" download of the 10.4.4 Combo updater over a period of days with different browsers, including Safari. They all fail checksum and will not mount. Has anyone else experienced this? Have you succeeded in getting a "good" download or is the disc image that Apple has provided simply no good?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well, I managed to get a good one after many, many downloads. It still think there is a problem with the source, but who knows?

HT2405 unable to install mac 10.5.5 combo update after downloading when i do restart it stop.

hey i am not able to install mac os x update combine on my mac after i installed new date os on my mac. so kindly help me regarding this.

Some general advice on updating Leopard:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Combo Update Will not Download Only 20MB

Am trying to download the combo-updater for 10.5.2 and am only able to get 20mb out of the 300+ file.
I've tried this on two machines and two networks.
Would appreciate a suggestion. Thanks

Have you been able to DL these size files before? I suspect your ISP. Try DLing another similar sized file from another server.
It could also be the Apple server. Wait and try again later.
There is nothing in the software that I know of that would limit the size of a DL.

10.6.5 Combo Update - always corrupt download?

Hi all,
I'm a user of PGP WDE and need to download the Combo Update. Whenever I try to download from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324 with whatever browser - tried multiple Macs, Browsers - even Windows - I get a download of about 204 MB. The file is a) corrupt and b) not of expected size (977 MB as stated by the web page).
Is anyone else experiencing this? Could someone please verify this? Any thoughts on solving this?
Best regards,
Sascha

Hi!
thanks for verifying.
In the meantime, I walked my way through all the referrers within the download and was able to access the file "directly". It downloaded successfully and is ready for installation. The root cause remains unidentified...
Rgds,

Stuck iMac during 10.6.2 to 10.6.8 OS combo update

Dear community,
I recently had to wipe out an iMac HDD and reinstall the OS. The install DVD contained OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2, and I wished to upgrade to Mavericks (10.9) by doing an intermediate update to 10.6.8, as required by the new OS installer.
After a successful disk erase & OS installation from DVD, I tried to update the OS by using the 10.6.8 Combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399, which was located on an external hard drive. Just before finishing the update, the screen went black and there was no way to recover the system. Fan and internal HDD were both spinning, so the system was stuck for an unknown reason.
After waiting for 15 minutes, I decided to switch off the computer manually with the power button, and since then the iMac won't boot any more. Here's a list of what I tried:
- Boot from cd ("C" during startup): impossible, another disc is currently in the drive, and can't eject it
- Safe mode: won't load in 30 minutes, I guess it won't load at all
- Reset NVRAM: no effect
- Single user mode:
- "fsck -fy": no effect, volume is OK;
- reinstalling the updates from within su mode "softwareupdate -i -a" (hoping to reinstall it and get rid of the possible crap): impossible, there is no network connection.
Any help would be very welcome

Thanks for the hint, I managed to eject the disc holding the mouse click and inserted the OS DVD.
This doesn't solve the problem though, I can't boot from it (holding "C" has no effect, nor has the "Alt" key).
Reading the verbose boot output, things seem pretty bad:
jnl: unknown-dev replay_journal: from some_decimal: to some_other_decimal (joffset some_hexadecimal)
jnl: unknown-dev replay_journal done.
Maybe broken filesystem, but I can't explain why external boot mode doesn't work…
