Can´t seem to install any update on Snow Leopard. Why?

Hello everyone. First post here.
I tried searching the forum but I couldn´t seem to find someone with the exact same problem as me.
Yesterday I bought Snow Leopard and tried installing it on my 13" Macbook Pro. Everything went fine and it´s running ok, except from the fact that I can´t update it. Software update will ask me to install pack 10.6.2 but I click install and it doesn´t run.
I´ve tried downloading the 10.6.1 from apple.com and installing it but the same thing seems to happen. It doesn´t run. I´ve tried everything, including repairing disk permissions... It won´t install.
Does anyone have a clue of what I should do?
Thank you.

Hi!
I had the same problem with updating to 10.6.2 from Snow Leopard (brazilian custom language/keyboard). But instead of removing the file, I just changed to english setting, installed the update OK and returned to pt-br setting. Everything fine.
Best regards!

  • Can't Star iChat Service after update to Snow Leopard Server

    We had installed Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro, and we had the iChat Service working in the organization; but when we update to the Snow Leopard Server we can't start the iChat service again. In the Server Admin app, on the iChat node in the Overview I have this:
    iChat Service is: Stopped
    Start time: not available
    Domain: not available
    Client connections: not available
    With the update if I choose the iChat service node, I can't see the Start iChat button.
    Can somebody help?
    Thanks a lot.

  • If we bought a mac with OS X 10.6.6 and my sister has a mac with 10.5.8, can we use the install DVD to put snow leopard on hers? Is it legal? Does it erase everything?

    If we bought a mac with OS X 10.6.6 and my sister has a mac with OS X 10.5.8, can we use the install DVD that came with the newer one to put OS X 10.6.6 on hers? Would it work? Does it erase everything? Is that even legal?
    Thank you for any help!

    It won't work.

  • Can't open .doc files in Pages with Snow Leopard

    I just installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Pages can no longer open .doc files. I receive the error message: "The document “XXX.doc” couldn’t be opened."

    Help?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    But now I don't have the option "save as" word document as I used to before I installed the update for snow leopard. It only lets me save as iwork '06 or '05.
    That's Pages 3/iWork '08. You may have both iWork '08 & '09 on your Mac & '08 has opened. You can have more than one version, I have three, but you'll need to find a way to identify each one. I have changed the icons for two of the versions & have aliases to each in a folder where I added the version number. This way I can know which one I'm opening & they look different in my Dock. Do not add a version number to the actual application, the updaters then won't find them. (Can you tell I like changing icons? )

    I just installed LR6.  I can't seem to move any photos between folders.  I drag and drop and  nothing happens.  No error

    To open photos from Photos in Preview use the Media Browser. You do not need to have Photos open to use the photos inPreview.
    In Preview use the command "Flle > Open".
    The File Chooser dialog will open. Switch the file chooser to columns view and scroll down, until you see the Media section.
    Click the Photos view.
    Select the Photos app and click the disclosure triangle.

  • Hi, I've just up-dated my OS in my MacPro 3.1 from 10.5 to 10.6.8 and can't seem to install my Logic Pro 8, any advise? can I install my Logic 8 in the 10.6.8 OS? Thanks

    Hi, I've just up-dated my OS in my MacPro 3.1 from 10.5 to 10.6.8 and can't seem to install my Logi Pro 8, I can install the libraries but not the program, is it possible to install or do I have to up-grade to Logic 9? Thanks

    It's either that Logic 8 is looking for the Rosetta emulation program or that Logic 8 was previously installed on this OS, in which case you will have to remove some preference files and install receipt.
    I think the Rosetta emulation is downloadable for SL.

  • MAC OSX version 10.5.1 and I can't seem to open any PDF - FILES HELP

    I am having a lot of frustrations opening any pdf files on Safari.
    I re-installed adobe acrobat reader 7.0.9 and nothing is happening.

    MAC OSX version 10.4.11 and I can't seem to open any PDF
    I'm having this problem as well. I have both Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 and Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed with the proper internet plug-in, using OS 10.4.11. When I try to open a pdf file in Safari I get a window asking me to choose an application to open the file, but both applications are dimmed and cannot be selected. I have tried re-installing Acrobat Reader, but without success. In Firefox I simply get a blank, darkened window. __Previously, before I installed Leopard and was using Tiger, I had Acrobat Reader 7.0 as well as AR 8.0 installed, and I was only able to select AR 7.0, but it worked. Now nothing works. This is a serious problem that Adobe needs to address!

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?
