Can't Download Security Update

I have tried to download Security Update 2008-006 (intel) using Software Update and also Apple's download web page. It starts to download and gets about 15% downloaded and then stops. After a minute the down load cuts off as the connection is timed out using Time Warner Cable.
Any suggestions to fix this?

HI Lloyd,
Sometimes a software update can't do it's job if there isn't sufficient free drive space. Select your MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click Command + I The Get Info window will open. Where it says: General click the black arrow. Look where it says: Capacity and Available. Rule of thumb, never allow available drive space to fall below 15% of the total drive.
Also, try deleting the Software Update preference file. com.apple.softwareupdate.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. From the Preferences folder, drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Sometimes that helps also.
Always run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) and Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER any software updates or upgrades.

Can't download Security Update 2015-002 1.0

I can't download Security Update 2015-002 1.0 from the App store. It starts to download and then saddlery stops and I'm back to where I started. I've tried restarting the system with no other apps running etc, but still no joy.

Allan,
I have Avast virus checker installed, but I disabled file, mail & web browser checking and had the same problem.
I eventually was able to download the manual update DMG and that seems to have installed ok.
Now the Update RAW 6.03 has been installed, but continues to say it needs installing - galling.
Thanks to you and Linc for replying to my original post.

Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

Downloaded security update 2014-002 now computer is freezing. Can I uninstall it?

Can I uninstall security update for Lion 2014-002? Afte repairing permissions before and after the download, the computer is freezing and needs restarting if not in use for several minutes.

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
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.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report—it will be very long and not helpful.

Hi G,
If you're not using Software Update (in the Apple menu), use that.
If you are using SU and getting that message, try going to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and downloading it, then install it.

Disable anti virus software.
Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

HT4623 how do I remove credit card from information can't download or update anymore

how do I remove credit card from information can't download or update anymore

Open iTunes on your computer, click on your Apple ID and log in with your password. Edit your payment information.

I have an apple ID, I'm trying to use this to update and download apps etc. however, whenever I try this, it keeps asking me to use my old ID, which is attached to an email that no longer exists! I can't download or update anything! Help!

You can log out of the currently logged in account by taping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and you can then log back in.
If you updated your existing account with a new email address then that shoud 'refresh' it on it
If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can redownload its content and download updates to its apps. You should be able to update an account's email address via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

Where can I download an update to MAC OS X 10.6?

Where can I download an update to MAC OS X 10.6. I'm trying to update my old MacBook Pro so I can update my iPad and iPhone using iTunes. I'm running MAC OS X 10.4 at the moment and have check that its possible just cant fine anywhere on the Apple Store web site to download the upgrade!!. or is my only option to buy a second hand version off ebay? thanks

Updates are done through Software Update and are free downloads. Upgrades you have to purchase - NOT free. Therefore, you must purchase Snow Leopard - how can I purchase snow leopard is a good place to start.

I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
Some things of note:
I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
I did not uninstall iCloud
I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
Hope this helps!

Excel .xls 'read only' after downloading security update

Today all my data .xls files won't open - the message reads:
I am able to open one .xlsx file but all the .xls will only open as 'quick view' I've recently downloaded Security Update 2015 version 1 and also updated Remote Desktop client. I restarted my macbook pro today. That's when the trouble started I'm running Mavericks 10.9.5.
I've tried using time machine to open older versions of files but they too cannot be accessed. I've also tried renaming the files with non-numerical names. No joy with that either.
HELP please!!!!!

Fixed it myself by repairing disc permissions. Embarrassed - it was an easy fix in the end.
