10.7.4 in Software update, 'don't have permission', cannot run combo client

Software Update says that 10.7.4 is available for download. I attempted to install it and type in all my usual password info, but the system says:
'The update “Mac OS X Update” can’t be saved. You don't have permission.'
I then downloaded the combo client and attempted to run the package. It stated that 'The installation failed. The Installed can't create the folder "/var/folders/z7.....etc......'
Not exactly sure what is happening. I've tried repairing permissions, and it did not work. I am the only user on the account. Any ideas?

Called Apple Support. They had me create a new Admin account and install the update. Looks like the update is downloading fine now. They scheduled a call back to help me repair my original Admin account because they said it's now screwed up.

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Do you mean the Date & Time panel of System Preferences? Do you have the Time Zone set appropriately? Have you selected "Set data and time automatically"? Do you turn it off and disconnect it from power between these happenings?
Mactracker doesn't list a "MacBook Pro 2.6". Is that the actual model of your MacBook? How old is it?

I am trying to update my MacMini from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 and I am not able to. The user account I am trying to do it from is an admin account. I currently have 4 other updates and I am not able to install any of them and they are listed below.
Airport utility 6.1
Digitial Camera Raw Compatability update 3.13
iTunes 10.6.3
Java for OS X 2012-004 1.0
Here is a copy and paste from my Console install.log only trying to install the Airport Utility and Digital Camera Raw updates. All others were doing the same as these.

Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

Software Update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time

HI
I manged to get all my updates downlaoded and on my server, i have currently enabled 133 of 400 updates.
I have changed my snow leopard machine to point to the internal update server
But then after a while of checking this displays software Update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time
Which is a Lie, because i know there are updates on the server that the computer needs to have.
Any Ideas
Many Thanks

Oh i forgot to say in consol (from the client) i get can't instantiate distribution from server address error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain code=70 etc
Any ideas anyone?

I tried to update to Firefox 3.6.13 yesterday, but the "volume" is still on my desktop although i have the updated 3.6.13, but nowI can't get new update that Firefox won't let me get because I don't have permission, although I do.

The problem is that I don't now what to do with the blue "volume" and also now I can't get the next update to 3.6.14 because Firefox says I don't have permission to make updates on this computer. But I do! I am the person who uses this computer and there is no "system administrator" to go to and there is no different account from which to do the update. I am 74 years old and this all very hard for me, but shouldn't leave me stranded with no updates.

I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

Hi, i have question about my macBook pro. I have a somehow managed to delete a driver or no, so I can not install new software updates. I have tried for several hours to fixe it on OS X tools-Disc Tools. anyone has a clue about this more than I have.

Cami87,
which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?

HT1222 when I try to install updates, I get the message "None of the updates you've selected can be saved. You don't have permission."

can anyone tell me how to bypass message "none of the updates selected can be saved. you don't have permission." I've not bee able to install iTunes or any other updates on my Mac.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

The ipad 1 (no camera) can't be updated beyond IOS 5.1.1.

I can't Install my updates on my mac book , it starts to install and a box pops up saying i don't have permission to install

So, then, after you click the Install button you receive the permissions error dialog? Again, are you logged into an Admin account?
Have you tried:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Also, please check the settings on your startup drive. Select it. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window, then open the bottom-most panel and check the settings. They should look like this:
