Can't update software or use installer

Ever since updating to lion, I can't update any other software - the "software update" window freezes and the installer won't open when i try to redownload the app.
Is there a way to fix the software updating program/app thing?

You could try reinstalling Lion again

  • HT201263 Can I update software without using my pc

    Trying to update my iOS but when I go settings, general it does not say software update

    It sounds like your iPhone is running a version of iOS that is older then iOS 5.
    It is only after you upgrade to iOS 5 that you can upgrade the software on an iPhone without a computer.

    How can I get the "original" Apple ID?

  • I can not update my N95 using Nokia Software Updat...

    I can not update my N95 using Nokia Software Updater.
    The error message "unable to update the software" will appear.
    I have version 12.0.013.
    Come with ideas, I have contacted Nokia's support and they want me to send the phone to them but it may be the final solution.

  • How can I update my app using my own ac?

    can I know if I can update my app from the other ac ?cause when I downloaded the app I used my friend ID  but now I can't contact him .so how can I update the app using my own ac?

    You can't, all content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so only that account will be able to download updates to its apps.

  • Can't update software without credit card info

    Geek Squad set up my new Apple ID on my laptop when they did a file transfer.  I wasn't given the ID or password, but it says I am logged in.  However, when I click on software updates it wants me to confirm my Apple ID and enter my credit card information.  Is there a way to update software without using my credit card?  Software updates worked fine on my old macbook pro and did not require this information.

    Yes - set Payment type to None.
