Can't update to 10.6.2/Disconnection during software update

Ok, so I've searched as many threads on the forum as I can stand and it seems I'm having a similar but different problem from everyone else. I began installing the update yesterday via software update and I was disconnected from the internet during the process. Obviously, the update did not finish the download/install and is now giving me errors. I can't remember exactly what it says when I try to install with software update, but it is something to the effect of "update is corrupt" or something like that.
So I tried downloading the file from Apple directly and installing and that doesn't work either. When I open the disk image I get an error message that says, "The following disk images couldn't be opened," and it returns an error code 4960. I searched around the forum some and someone else said that they had the same issue so they installed 10.6.0 from the DVD and then did the combo update to 10.6.2. I tried that as well, when I try to open the combo update I get the same error message and error code. I spoke with a friend of mine and he mentioned going into the library and trying to delete the receipts for the install, but the update was so comprehensive that there are tons of receipts in the folder and none of them indicate that they might be related to the update necessarily. I've been searching forums and Google now for the better part of four hours and can't seem to find anywhere where someone has had and solved this problem. This may mean that me posting this question is useless at this point, but I'm willing to try and see if anyone has any new ideas or insights. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Every disk image (dmg) file is a container for a virtual disk. Double-click on it and it mounts the virtual disk. Double-click on it, and it has stuff in it. When disk volumes show up on the Desktop, they're mounted as long as you elected via Finder's preferences to show them.

E90 disconnected during software update, messaging...

Hi, I was updating my e90's software today and everything was going swimmingly until someone called me and I idiotically answered the phone thereby disconnecting the USB cable from the phone, without realising what the implications were I just replaced it and let the update continue.
The process carried on and after download the update started and it seemed to go fine, after telling me the update was successful and automatically restarting the phone.. I restored the phone backup from Nokia PC Suite and all seemed well.. until I realised that none of my internet settings were on the phone, when I tried to send a message to my carrier to get the settings it repeatedly failed to send the message, keeping on giving me the message sending failed error.
I then tried to call my other phone with the e90 and it worked, I then called it with my other phone and that worked too. So I restarted the phone and tried again, same error. I assumed it was a network error and tried to go online via wifi and opened the regular Nokia web browser, as soon as I opened web bowser it ave me the "searching for available access points" message and then immediately jumped to "connecting" and hangs there.
I tried with Opera Mini and same story, when I do a manual search for wifi networks, it sees my home network.
I have tried removing the battery for a few minutes and replacing it but no dice.. Am stuck, please help, thank you.

So i finally got it sorted, I did a hard reset and everything worked fine... until I restored my back up from the Nokia PC Suite, everything stopped working again, so I did a hard reset again and everything worked again and this time I restored from the memory card and same problem again! so I just reformatted the memory card and did the hard reset and will just start from scratch, atleast everything is working.

N8 disconnected during software update

My n8 somehow lost connecting during a software update and stopped working. What can I do please? Thanks in advance

@dsaliba
Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately referred to link has not been brought up to date to include Symbian^3 OS devices such as N8 yet.
To switch device off you need to depress power button for 8 seconds until three vibrations felt.
There are instructions how to "hard reset" N8 posted elsewhere to be carried out as a last resort in view of it's destructive effect on stored data, as precursor to returning device to Nokia Care Point.

X6-00 USB disconnects during software update

Right connecting my X6-00 to Ovi Suite and it says there is a device software update to v31.0.004. I click on install, it runs through the back-up fine and then starts installation. However it constantly loses the USB connection so keeps restarting the software install.
I've used the same USB cable and Ovi Suite to update my N8's software in the past without any problems so what am I doing wrong?

Though 20 minutes seems too long a wait.. the OP most probably knows what happens during the update as he mentions I've used the same USB cable and Ovi Suite to update my N8's software in the past without any problems .. Also the problem seems something else as he also mentions However it constantly loses the USB connection so keeps restarting the software install.
@an24man - If you have not tried the Nokia Software Updater.. try that and see for any difference..

I can't update the firmware, stay on the message waiting for ipod

Hi, well my problem is that, i try en 3 different computers, and always the same error. Error(9), but i thin this problem could be hardware, bout i don't know the way to check this, if someone can help me. Thanks.

Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Error message: phone disconnect during sync

i am trying to sync my ical calendar to my iphone.
i repeatedly get the same error message " can not sync calendar because phone has disconnected during sync" even though my phone is def still connected as i see it in itunes.
any ideas?

That disconnection has something to do with your calendar database, and something in there that the sync process doesnt like. Take a look at this thread:

HT4061 hey Sorry, my i phone with my updates, which I can't update, says my apple id is disconnected. even tho i reset my password, I can not get my apple id to not say its not disconnected, I need help please? messing up all

MY I phone will not work....correctly...I can not update any of my old apps. it says my apple ID is disconnected, I have reset my password but it wont effect the whole phone or fix the problem...please help.

I have something similar going on, but not exact. I basically have a useless phone here because I restored the phone but supposedly when my son's father redid the phone years ago for our son he added the phone to HIS apple id (on find my phoen supposedly) which he no longer has nor uses. I need said apple id and pass to finish restoring the phone. Maybe we should all get together and pile all our bricks in front of apple headquarters so no one can get out of the building and they have to stay there until they fix this. :-P

HT1378 Can't update ipod. Shows checkmark and says ok to disconnect. Tells me to restore.

How can I update my ipod classic when it shows ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored?

Also, when I go to the Apple website and click on download update software a blocked pop-up symbol appears even if my Norton internet security is turned off. It says the download will start automatically, but nothing happens. Any answers for me?
Use your web browser to view the source of the page which tells you that the download will start automatically, and search the text for 'iframe' without the quote marks. To the right of iframe will be an URL; copy and paste this into the browser's address bar to download the file.

I can't update my iPhone 4 to the iOS 4.3.3 software.

I am running windows 7 Home Premium Edition and just updated iTunes to the latest version. While downloading the iOS 4.3.3 software update the status bar fills completely, then while processing file it stops and I get an error message saying "The software for the iPhone was corrupted during download. Disconnect, reconnect and try again. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." My network is up and running just fine with no problems and I have attempted this update at least 7 times on my phone and a few on my wife's. PLEASE HELP!

How can I update my iPod classic that will not mount on iMac computer?

I can't update my iPod classic from my iTunes on my iMac computer with OSX 10.9. It will not mount or be recognized by iTunes version 12.1.
I plug it into the USB port and it charges, gives the "Do not disconnect" symbol but the computer does not recognize or mount the iPod at all. I haven't been able to update the music for years. I have four other devices associated with my Apple ID for automatic downloads. Is it too antiquated to upload any of my music from my computer to it anymore?

Ahh! The plot thickens!
I went thru the console and read the error logs. It appears that the .ipsw file does load.....I think. It's been years since I spoke computer....
Here is what I got after double clicking the .ipsw file and iTunes opened:

How can we update the last synchronization date and time..on SUP in sccm 2012 R2

Hi,
Can you any one please guide me how can i update the last synchronization date & time in SUP on SCCM2012 r2 , some how its updated as future date and when ever i try to synch the SUP with disconnected WSUS its shows in the wsyncmgr.log
"Wakeup for a polling cycle " and " Wakeupby inbox drop" and "Wakeup by SCF change"
Thanks
Balaji K

You'll probably have to call CSS on this one as this not normal by any means. The messages you noted above are completely normal but if that's all you are seeing then there's an issue.
Have you reviewed wcm.log and wsusctrl.log?

How to stop iPhone automatically disconnecting during an iTunes update?

When I'm updating my iPhone on my brother's laptop or my grandfather's computer iTunes updates my iPhone well, but when I try to update my iPhone on iTunes on my computer, it will say "8 hours remaining" or during the "8 hour" update it will say that my iPhone has been disconnected during the update. I won't even touch the phone and this message would still appear. Can someone please help me because I really want to upgrade to ios 6 and this is the only thing that is in my way. Could this be a problem with my computer or my iPhone?
Thanks, for future references

Probably a slow internet connection where your at
the update is very large (700mb ish) so it can take a very long time to download (roughly the sice of 250 mp3s for example)
Best bet is to go somewhere where else with wifi (starbucks, mcdonalds, etc) and try the update there

HT201413 I keep error 9 when i try to restore my Ipod 5.It seems to be that my device disconnects during the restore process, then error messege pops up. I have updated the security settings on my pc and it still doesn't work.

Error 9 pops up when trying to restore Ipod 5. The problem seems to be that my ipod disconnects during the restore process. My ipod is stuck in restore mode so I can't access its update serever. I have already updated my pc and its security settings. Is there anything else i can try?

Hello AS234,
This error is typically indicative of a conflict with installed security software.
Configure your security software
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
