10.6.8 upgrade not installing

I am unable to install version 10.6.8 through the software update on my MAC. Why is this happening? I already have 10.6 installed.

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
I suggest you max out the RAM in your machine if you upgrade to Lion.

  • I want to upgrade, not install intunes all over again!

    Heres the thing, me, i'm perfectly happy with an outdated version of itunes, it doesn't bother me in the slightest, however all my movies and TV shows have disippeared from my 30g ipod video and i'm assuming the outdated version is why. I clicked to find updates and i'm brought to a page asking me to install itunes all over again, not just update. Help?

    As with most programs, when you update them, the "Old" version has to be removed in order for the new program with its new files to be installed.
    When you download the "New" version of iTunes and start installing it, It will detect the "Old" version you have, automaticly remove it and place the new updates to your PC.
    When the old version is removed you will not loose any playlist, Music, Ratings ect ect. You can remove iTunes, then reinstall it urself and still not loose any music or have it deleted.

    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
    If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

    While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

    I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

  • "Product is not installed" message when running weblogic upgrade installer

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed WLS 10.3.5 and JDeveloper Studio using jdevstudio11116install.jar installer on my local machine running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition . Now when I try upgrading WLS to version *10.3.6*, using wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar, I run into "*Product is not installed*" message. I tried even running wls1036_upgrade_win32.exe and the results are the same.
    Appreciate if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong. I only followed the WLS install/upgrade documentation but looks like something is amiss.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Appreciate if anybody out there can help me with the problem. I am wondering if the message cropped up due to the fact that I am trying to run a product upgrade specifically targeted at WebLogic Server instead of running a upgrade installer for jdeveloper since WLS 10.3.5 came with JDev installer in the first place. I am not aware if upgrade installlers are available for jdevstudio. Another way to put this is, I should have run WLS 10.3.5 installer first(instead of jdev) and the 10.3.6 upgrade installer next. That probably might have worked. Then again I am not sure this is correct.
    Appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks

  • The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix?

    The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

    There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks.  You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution.  There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

  • I want to upgrade to Mavericks. Will I need to reinstall all of my apps and copy my files back to the hard drive?  I have not installed an OS on a Mac before and I'm wondering whether it is as involved as on a PC.

    I want to upgrade to Mavericks. Will I need to reinstall all of my apps and copy my files back to the hard drive?  I have not installed an OS on a Mac before and I'm wondering whether it is as involved as on a PC.

    Short answer: You do NOT have to reinstall all your apps and copy your files back.
    Longer answer: Upgrading the OS does not touch any user files. Upgrading the OS should not interfere with any applications which are compatible with Mavericks.  In my experience non-Apple apps are generally left unchanged by the upgrade.  It is possible that some apps may need to be upgraded. One good resource for checking application compatibility is RoaringApps.
    Finally, it is always wise to backup everything, just in case.

  • Why my Logic Studio 9 (upgrade) does not install Soundtrack Pro, sound effects etc..?

    I just bought Logic Studio 9 (latest I suppose) upgrade version. Now I figured out that it does not allow me to install for example Soundtrack Pro, Sound Effects etc... How can I install them?
    Logic Studio 8 was not installed prior to install because OS X Lion does not allow me to install logic studio 8.
    What should I do now? Complete uninstall OS X and only update to OS X Leopard?

    Hi
    You have either moved the Applications or re-named them. For the updaters to work the Apps must be named "Logic Pro" and "MainStage.

  • Hello.  Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot.  I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193).

    Hello.  Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot.  I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193).  I have uninstalled/reinstalled I Tunes several times and this has not resolved the issue.  I also uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft.net Framework 4 since this was suggested by Apple support.  This also has not resolved the issue.
    When I reinstall I Tunes, I get a message that the “Service ‘apple mobile device’ failed to start.”  Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services.  I attempted to manually start the Apple Mobile Device service but get a pop up stating, “Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.”Unsure what I should try next.

    In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.

  • ITunes upgrade will not install

    I am trying to upgrade iTunes to the 10.1.2 version. I currently have 10.0.1.22.
    It will not update; halfway through I get a message that says:
    Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually.
    Ok, so I did that, only to get another error message that said:
    iTunes & QuickTime has an invalid signature. The download has been removed.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Yes, same problem. Where is the insert for a graphic so I can show Apple the precise message? "Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually". It doesn't save anything from the previous download attempt, starts from Zero again. That wastes bandwidth and time. Why does it not install properly? Obviously crappy software.

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.

    You have entirely too little free space on the boot drive, for best performance it's best to have hard drives only 50% filled max and never more than 80% filled.
    See Storage Drive here and reduce some space also make a seperate bootable clone backup of all your data BEFORE upgrading
    Most commonly used backup methods
    see here for how to find your disk space
    Why is my computer slow?
    If you upgrade and it doesn't go right or slows the machine down you might need to erase and install, which all your programs will have to be reinstalled from original sources and files from backup.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If you can't do this, then hire a local PC/Mac specialist.
    Do not upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 on that older machine, it will slow down and you will lose all your PPC based programs.
    Leave the Lions for a brand new machine with a SSD drive.
