Can't download updates on Mac OS X Puma (10.1)

The other day, I decided to replace the hard drive in my iMac G4 and put Puma instead of Panther on it. I would have done Jaguar, however I don't own it. I only actually own Panther and Tiger. (I downloaded Puma from WinWorldPC's software library, which is full of stuff if you wanna look into it.) I reformatted it, installed the OS, and thought everything was going pretty well, then it came time to actually get it updated to the latest version, so I went to Apple's official page to download the updates. When I click the download button, I get a 404 error. Is Apple really this dumb? They remove the file from the server, but DON'T delete the download page. It ticks me off. Anyway, the question is: how and where can I get any updates? I need the 7-18-02 security update for v10.1.0, and Mac OS X 10.1.5.
Any help is highly appreciated.

What I didn't mention is that I need to download them directly for the reason shown in this video:
(and it would appear that the video doesn't show up because the editor took it among itself to correct "sloppy" code, so here it is directly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzt8U9ZDRkw&feature=youtu.be)

Can't download update for Mac onto PC

I'm trying to download the update for Quicktime Macintosh 7.3 on a Windows computer and put it on my flash drive to install at home. I can't get to the download link. everytime I do, it takes me to the Quicktime page showing either XP or Vista and doesn't have a link to go to the Macintosh version. The download is about 50MB and my home computer is on dial-up. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

You did not mention for which OSX version for which you are trying to download the update(s).
Try these:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/QuickTime/061-413 0.20071213.Xy54EQ/QuickTime731_Leopard.dmg
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/QuickTime/061-412 7.20071213.3Ujvo/QuickTime731_Tiger.dmg
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/QuickTime/061-412 6.20071213.wgD6H/QuickTime731_Panther.dmg
My general workaround to Apple's locking me out from cross-updating on the different platforms-from your Macintosh, navigate to the Apple downloads site, start the QuickTime updater download, and record the source URL when the download starts. You can then cancel the download on the Mac, take the source URL to your Windows machine, and use it to download the file onto your Windows machine. Then transfer the *.dmg file back to the Mac, and you are updated.

HT1569 How can I download updates on Mac OSX, Version 10.7 1?

I have Mac OS X Version 10.7 1. Every time I try to update my software, I get this message: Downloading 5 items; Downloading Mac OS X Update Combined; 21.6 MB of 1.99 GB about 11,000 hours. However, nothing seems to download. Everything stays at 1%, and I have the computer on all day. I changed the energy setting to ensure the laptop stays awake and never goes to sleep. This way the laptop could stay connected to the internet and continue downloading. However, it’s not working. Please help.

Find the incomplete download (it's in your Downloads folder) and drag it to the Trash.
The computer should not go to sleep while a download is active, but if network activity stalls for a long time it might.
Try downloading the Lion Combined Update directly from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484

How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5?

Hi,
Can anyone help me on this problem?
How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5? They don't sync with each other. Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Catwang!
You can use iTunes to sync the two devices. See the KB article, iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer and iTunes for Mac: sync contacts, calendar and other info.
If you want to use iCloud, your MacBook needs to use at least OS 10.7.4 or later. See Set up iCloud on all your Devices.

HT1338 Why can't i update my Mac mini above 10.5.8

Why can't i update my Mac mini above 10.5.8?

See:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
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.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

Hello,
Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
Best of luck.

You must purchase Snow Leopard:

Before upgrading be sure you do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Make a backup of your current system.

Where can I download iBooks for Mac? I did not find it in APP store. Thanks

Where can I download iBooks for Mac？ I did not find it in APP store. Thanks

Do you have a backup. If so you should be able to restore it from that. Otherwise you can reinstall OS X. See Carolyn's post in I accidentally deleted iBooks on my Macbook Pro (late 2011) running on OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite. Will iBooks be reinstalled if I install the next OS X major update once it is out?

Mar 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to JdinPa)
I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.
See it it will work for you.

Very likely your best chance of managing that would be to use the software and instructions found here.

How can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

how can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

You have four options that I know of.
1) Use an external DVD drive that will work on the MBA. (Apple's external Superdrive for MBA)
2) Use a remote disk connection, using another Mac with a DVD drive, and sharing the drive with the MBA.
3) Download Office from Microsoft's website, and then use only the registration code that came with your DVD purchase to authorize the registration.
4) Copy the contents of the Office DVD to a USB flash drive, using another computer. Then install from that flash drive.
Maybe someone else has an idea, if none of the above will woek for you.

How come I can't download anything from mac app store?

It will not go to the Mac App Store
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.
