Can't download updates using software update or from apple's site

I just got my mac about a week ago. i am trying to download the updates using software update, but they only partially download. After awhile, I get an error message (-1001) that says to check the network connection and try again later. I have tried several times and I still get the same thing. Also, when i try to download the updates from Apple's site, they only partially download as well and then it says they "timed out". This is happening with all downloads i have attempted. The download speeds start out around 150 kb/s but then just start to drop and the download times out. I have to keep stopping and restarting the downloads to get them to finish which gets annoying when the file is large. Any suggestions???
Thanks

I am connected to the internet via a wireless network set up in my home. There are two other PCs connected to the network, one a desktop and the other a laptop. Neither have had any problems using or connecting to the internet. I have a DSL connection. I have tried to directly connect with the router with an ethernet cable, but the same thing happens.

    Reboot the device and see if the error happens again. Updating through iTunes is usually optimal, but the file size differs via Software Update on the device and iTunes (50MB vs ~800MB)

  • HT4623 Where can I download other iPhone software updates?

    I am trying to find 6.1.4 software update, does anyone know where to get it?

    Plug your phone into iTunes and perform the update that way. iTunes will automatically download the current version for your phone.
    Or you can update over the air if you're already running iOS 5 or later.
    There are no other legitimate sources.

  • I can't download the Ipod software update

    I've been trying all night to download the software update and it keeps giving me error -3259 saying my network wasn't working properly. Well that's not true since I've been browsing the web while downloading and playing xbox live all night. I know that I can connect to the internet just fine but it just keeps saying I can't download the update. I have the newest version of iTunes I just downloaded it tonight so I know that is not the problem. I have no idea what else to do. Anything you guys know that would help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for all the help!

    I did. Itunes isn't blocked by windows firewall. I'm trying to see if I can unblock it under Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 but I haven't been able to find out how yet.

  • Can't download latest AppleTV software update

    I keep getting error message "unable to complete". I have tried both manual and automatic updates. I have rebooted several times. What else can I do? It seems to be affecting the ability to rent films too, as they start to play the time-out. Help!

    Connect the ATV to a computer running iTunes via a microUSB cable and restore it as new.

  • Can't install 10.5.8 using Software Update

    I haven't been able to apply the past few OS X updates (including the current 10.5.8 update) using Software Update. I get an error message telling me I don't have sufficient privileges. This is strange because I'm the admin user with full privileges.
    I then have to download the combo updater and do it manually. It's not that big of a deal, but I do wonder why it's happening and what to do about it.

    I'm not sure about that, but if you are hesitant about doing it, at bare minimum go to Apple menu -> System preferences -> Software Update, and turn it off, and quit from System preferences, and then go to the various Library folders under:
    Hard drive
    Users - yourname
    and
    System
    and copy from the Preferences folder in each one to a folder on your desktop that allows you to remember where you copied from any SoftwareUpdate plist you encounter. Once that is done, go ahead and delete them from the Preference folders, and restart your Mac.
    If Software Update still fails, you may need to repair permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
    And if that doesn't work, how full is your hard drive?

  • How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari" bc I can't download the latest software?

    How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.

    I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
    In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

  • Can I use 'software update' for another computer hook up via firewire?

    My wife has a powerbook that has problems. I had to re-install the original software and back up her files. The problem is I can't get on the internet either hardwire or through airport. It says the password I am giving is incorrect. I have no problem getting on line with my ibook. So my idea is this, Can I hook her powerbook up to my ibook using firewire and then use software update to update her opertaing system. She has 10.2. Thanks

    You can manually download the updates and copy them via firewire to the other Mac. Once the updates are on the other Mac, you can run them from there.
