After Downloading 10.5.2 Update, Computer Won't Install Update, Just Sits?

+*Hi, I have a Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.1 Leopard. I recently tried to download the 10.5.2 Update, it downloaded successfuly, but when I try to install it, it sits and the loading bar doesn't move at all. I've let it sit for several hours (12 to be exact) and it didn't move at all. I force-shut down the computer, but now I can't re-download it. The update for my computer is 182 MB. How do I fix this?*+

There are two possibilities: You download is corrupted.
You can download the full 10.5.2 update here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1052comboupdate .html
and install it.
The other possibility is that if you have installed the recent TimeMachine/Airport update it probably won't instal anyway. There are many threads here about it. You should look them over.

  • Unable to update QuickTime, won't install update, can't uninstall - HELP!

    Firefox (20.0.1) say need to update QuickTime. Properties show current version 7.6.4. Update button takes to download 7.7.3. It downloads ok, but will not install, says newer version already installed. Didn't find newer update than 7.7.3. Tried to uninstall QuickTime, says have more current version, need uninstall newer first. Tried Windows Vista help, looked through Community questions, still unable to find resolution. Supposed newer version not show in Programs, only updates can find are Windows. Not tech savvy enough to go further without guidance. If no fix available, suggestion for alternate program that does same job would be very welcome!

    I ran the Microsoft Fix-It Tool located at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651, as referenced by Dianne 13, and it worked PERFECTLY!
    An update to QuickTime would not install on my PC; I kept getting a message that it "ecountered an error". I tried installing the update manually; I was told a newer version was already installed, and the installation could not be completed. QuickTime wouldn't even open; I got the same message about a newer version, so I tried running the uninstaller, both from the Start Menu shortcut and from within Control Panel - neither worked. The uninstaller told me it encountered an error & couldn't continue.
    I ran the Microsoft Fix-It tool that Dianne 13 posted the link to, and it uninstalled QuickTime without any problem whatsoever, and the new version of QuickTime was able to then install.

  • After downloading iphone pictures to desktop, itunes won't open.  I downloaded itunes 10.6 (64bit) but get "Do you want the following program to make changes to your computer?" Apple Inc.  I've clicked "yes", restarted the computer, and still no luck.

    I also have the same problem, but the Software Updates tool doesn't recognise that Quicktime is out of date. Have you tried downloading Quicktime 7.7 Leopard from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime as this worked for me...?

    I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

    The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
    What can I do ..??

  • Windows Updates Loops (Please restart your computer to finish installing updates

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for the response!  I am a little confused though. Which update do you mean? I am seeing quite a few pending.

    Hi All,A ton of our clients have recently been getting caught in a loop of "please restart your computer to finish installing updates", configuring the updates, and then restarting to come back to the exact same thing. The updates never seem to apply. I know this is not a new problem, but the old methods do not seem to be working to fix it. Here is what I've done/ what I know so far.1. We use CentraStage RMM for patching. I've looked into it and it does not appear to be a problem on the CentraStage end.2. So far I am only seeing this on Windows 7 machines.3. I believe this started sometime in the last 3 weeks, and has definitely been going on longer than 2 weeks.4. No updatesare "failing" that I can see (see screenshot 2). The same updates appear to be pending after every reboot though (even though it is definitely configuring...
