Can't update 10.6 to either .3, .4 or .5, max files not an issue

HI
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I've done plenty of browsing and got nowhere close to finding a solution.
I have a 21" iMac which hangs every time I try to run the software update. It gets almost to the end (moving items into place) and just hangs stating install time remaining about a minute. I've left it sunning all day and no result. There are no error messages in the log file, in fact absolutely nothing after the --- begin install --- line.
I have checked the max file setting and its set to unlimited, also ran disk and permissions repairs, tried reinstalling from the original disk (but not wiping the drive first). Started with the 10.6.4 update, then tried 10.6.5 and then 10.6.3. All fail at the same place and the machine fails to reboot, just hangs with the spinning ball :o( I even uninstalled the virus checker.
I'm reluctant to wipe the drive as I don't fancy having to start from scratch again. Might also be worth pointing out that I used the migration wizard when setting this machine up. Also, tries downloading the dmg etc. and got exactly the same result as I did doing the on line update.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Mark

Hi
Figured it out (or fluked it and missed something completely :o)
*Problem Summary*: 21" iMac couldn't run software update (any version of last three), got as far as moving items and hung. Reboot would then hang and had to restore to backup. NO ISSUES WITH MAX FILES. Note: Also had previously uninstalled trend micro smart surfing and then sophos anti virus. Despite being removed weeks ago Trend had left behind (I believe) two processes: 1) iCore plug in manager and 2) iCoreServices. Also note that iMac had been set up using set up assistant and I have deleted a redundant non-admin user account.
Solution: Repaired permissions and disk, rebooted in safe mode, used Terminal to kill the iCorePluginMgr and iCoreService processes and then ran the update (10.6.5) from a local downloaded disk image.
Would be interested if anyone knows how to permanently kill these processes?
Thanks, at last :o)
Mark

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

I have taken pictures of items that are linked to a database that I am building. How can I bypass importing into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.

I have taken pictures with both my Sony camera and my iPhone of items that are linked to a database that I am building, as well as my website. How can I bypass importing the images into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.

If your Sony has a removable memory card you can use a card reader to copy the image files from to a folder on your Desktop and then move them anywhere you'd like.
Since the iPhone doesn't have a removable memory card you can try using Image Capture to see if you can manually upload the files to a folder on the Desktop.
If you have to import the photos, which are image files, into iPhoto you can then export them out of iPhoto to the Desktop and go from there to your database. Just because they are in iPhoto doesn't prevent you from using them elsewhere.

MSI H61M-E33(B3) updating bios.........file not found

Hi,
I tried to update the bios MSI H61M-E33(B3) from 10.D to 12.2. After rebooting, i got the message "BIOS Update: ... file not found".
There is something wrong, what could it be?
The following files are on an usb-Stick:
- 7680vC2.exe (Windows-Installer)
- EIVB.bin (MD5: 55a1af369b1db5b180a432a8fa5c7178 )
- IM9T318R (empty directory)
If the stick is missing, i got the message that the bios-update is not finished yet.

If that doesn't work:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Download the attached archive to your desktop(of any computer)
Install the forum update tool
Use option 1 of the tool and point it at the entire archive.
It will prepare the flash tool to flash, I am not sure if you are getting far enough to use this, perhap try a full cmos clear as well.
If none of these solutions will work, you will need that spi programmer.

Can't update my iMac to 10.7.4, every method says file is corrupt.

I am somewhat new to Mac but I haven't had to post on this forum yet so I will try to be as clear about the issue as I can be.
I have an iMac (21.5 inch Mid 2011) and I am running 10.7.3 right now.
Software update informed there was an update available to Lion (10.7.4) so I tried to let it do it's thing and update it for me. The update downloads, then informs me that it has to restart to complete the installation. The progress bar after the restart shows it is working, and at the "Cleaning Up" stage, I am prompted with this message and only have the option to "Restart": The update "Mac OS X Update" can't be installed. The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
I tried that method about 5 times, and kept getting the same thing. I read that I should try to download the .dmg files directly from Apple's site which I did. I downloaded the Combo client version and just the regular client version but when I try to open both .dmg files, I get "invalid checksum".
I did a disk utlity scan which came back to say that things were OK.
What can I do?

jdotmattinson is correct! I have the same issue.
It is a router/ISP issue. Tried the software update drop down for 10.7.4, failed. Tried to download 10.7.4 Combo Client update, invalid checksum. Tried to download 10.7.3 Combo client update, invalid checksum.
Went over to Win7 Dell laptop, downloaded 10.7.4 Combo update, transferred to MacMini via USB drive. Invalid checksum. WHICH led me to diagnose it wasn't my Mac, but Apple's servers or my ISP/Router.
Went to work, downloaded on XP, put on USB drive, brought it home, copied, installed just fine!
Did a hard factory reset on Motorola Surfboard SBG5560, invalid checksum again.
Going to buy a new router tonight and test it again with dowloading 10.7.4 Combo update. Will keep you posted to see if that fixes it.
Btw, if a new one doesn't fix it then it's my Comcast ISP service that is messing it up. Which is going to make me cry....check out this link... be afraid, be VERY afraid if this is the problem/solution.

Firefox disabled by flash plugin telling me to update to new version. I can't update to the lastest Adobe flash player 11, because it does not support Windows Vista 64-bit. So now what am I supposed to do?

I have Windows Vista 64-bit. I can't play on-line games on Pogo. I already contacted Pogo & they told me to update flash player. Firefox disabled by plugin for flash. I can't get the most updated Adobe flash player because it doesn't support 64-bit.

TS1424 IOS 6 update completed. Can't update apps now because I get warning stating "Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the U.S. store before purchase." How do I switch back?

Ysterday I updated to the new IOS6 on my Iphone 4. The phone service is provided by the Softbank carrier in Japan but I am an American and my Itunes account is U.S. After the update I get this warning when trying to install app updates "Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the U.S. store before purchase." This is something that must have occured during the the IOS6 install so my question is how do I get my Iphone 4 to recognize the U.S. store again?

Open the App Store and tap "featured", go down untill you see your Apple ID... enter there and tap "View Apple ID"... it should automatically ask you if you want to switch the store. Switch and thats all.

I can't change my iPad Mini home screen wallpaper at all, not even a default. I can't change my lock screen either. Help! I'd rather not waste my time bothering with computer programs so please give me a SIMPLE solution if you can.

How do I change my seemingly unfixable iPad Mini Home Screen and Lock Screen wallpapers?

I tried that and that is what initially started this. I wanted a new wallpaper for my home screen and it didn't work so I reset it. The wallpaper is now zoomed in, I can't zoom it back out, and I can't change it to the new one I want. Plus, recently I had reset it and it stayed at the Appe logo and didn't move and I got scared that I'd never be able to use it again, I tried random things and it turned on again. I think I was just lucky so I don't want it to happen again. And yes I did look up how to fix it but it was really complicated so I just did what I mentioned.
