Cannot update software or new OS X

Hi,
I am currently running Version 10.7.2 on a MacBook Pro less than a year old. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but every time I run the software update to update my current system in order to download Mountain Lion, it gets as far as the end and then it says it cannot update because it was corrupted during the download. Even if I try to update iTunes, it does the error straight away.
It is so frustrating! I have restarted, shut down my computer etc. Nothing works. I also tried to download Mountain Lion but nothing happened, which is why I thought updating the software would.
Any ideas how I can fix this? I have had no issues updating previously.
Thanks

Download and install the Lion 10.7.4 Combo Update from this link, and install it on your computer.
OS X Lion 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
After that is all done, run Software Update to make sure you have the latest updates for your system, THEN go into the Mac App Store and try to download Mountain Lion.

I tried restoring my Ipad 2 and when it was trying to update the new software, this thing pops up saying an error has occured cannot update software. My ipad is still stuck on the apple logo.

I tried restoring my ipad 2 and when its trying to extract the new software this pop up appears on the screen and says ERROR: cannot update software or something. My ipad still doesnt return to the home screen. It's still stuck on the apple logo. I only had this for a year. Is it broken?

If your ipad had no problems before, then it is your computer then may fail you. Try to restart computer and ipad.Try to disable antiviruses. If that happens again and you have apple store close by you can set up appointment, or try another computer.

Cannot update software because of forgotten code

I cannot update software without my code to do so. Does anyone know how to retrieve this? Or do anyone have a solution?

I'm using a MacBook Pro 13". My operating system is OS X 10.8.2.
I want to update Adope. The problem occurs when I have to type in the Mac administration password. I have to do so in order to accept that the program can be installed on my Mac. I have tried everything, but it seems as if my code doesn't really work. It keeps denying although i'm almost certain that it is the correct password.
Do you understand what i mean? Not sure that I explained it well.. :s
Are there any way to retrieve my code without erasing everything on my MacBook (I've lost my installation CD) or are there any way around the code and installing Adope?
Thank you for your answer and willingness to help me. I really do appreciate it!

My phone is full and cannot update software. What to do

my phone is full and cannot update software. What to do? What software can I get rid of? Can I delete Contacts I only use on my computer?
Since pictures fill up a lot of space and I have them on my computer should I delete most of them from my phone?

When you update over the air, the file is downloaded, then expanded on your phone...you need free space to do that. When you update using iTunes, the file is downloaded/expanded on your computer, then applied to your phone. That's the difference.
Either start deleting stuff...or update on your computer.

TS1702 None of these steps work, also tried hard reboot. . Cannot update or install new apps. Just says waiting. Internet data working fine. My iPhone works fine. This is all on my iPad

Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, reboot the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
Sometimes resetting all settings can help as well. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do that - you will have to enter all of you app and device preferences again.

Downloaded from iCloud to new iPhone 6. Says it's still downloading, but I know it's done. Cannot update software.

New iPhone 6 downloaded from iCloud finished. Why can't I update software?

Software updates don't come from iCloud, they come from Apple servers. How are you trying to update?

My phone X6 Cannot update software

I live in Thailand. My phone is X6, software version is 20.0.005. I checked from Nokia website last version is 32.0.002. But I cannot update new version. I Updated by phone or by Nokia Ovi Suite with correct step. I could see the other software program that can be update but device software version 32.0.002 not available, Could see only version 20.0.005. I think that software device version 32.0.002 is not upload to server for services (For Thailand).

Availability of update depends on Region / Product Code.. Also if thye phone is Network locked then the update is possible only after an approval from the operator...so, it seems there is no update made available for your device yet.. and you will have to wait and keep checkin..

Cannot update software from version 1.0 after factory reset

Just did a factory reset on my first generation, year old, perfectly working AppleTV. Then wanted to update the software from ver. 1.0 to current. For two day now, when choosing "update software' the response is that newer software is available but the download spins and spins with nothing happening. Seems like the network connection must be good or there wouldn't be knowledge that newer version exist. Eventually a message states that the software is not available now try late. As I said, I have been trying for 2 days. What's up with this?

Self-repaired! It was appear that the quality of reception of the ATV is problem because it cannot hold a connection long enough to download the software. I took an 11n airport express which extends my airport network and plugged the ATV to in by Ethernet. Result. ATV showed up on iTunes. Upgrade to 2.2 downloaded. And since I only stream, the system seems faster and more solid, so far. Amazing.

Hi all,
I have downloaded this software from the BB site three days back. But I cannot update it on my BB 9300. I have version 5. I have tried out through desktop manager but it shows that there is no update, wherese I have already installed it in my PC and it is shown in Control Panel. I dont have BIS or BES activeted. Is this the reason that I cannot update my device??????
plz help me eith this problem...
Solved!

Dear Craigashy,
Thanx for the advice.
I have tried both your ways. But neither worked.
First, I opened C drive then program files then common files then research in motion folder. In there I opened apploader folder then I clicked Loader (with a phone icon). Then it shows the available applications, but that doesn't show the new OS.
Second, the BB webpage has the update site. I clicked on OS 6 then clicked Update, then it took me to http://in.blackberry.com/update there I selected my phone i.e 9300 and it showd upgrade to OS 6. but when I clicked that it again takes me back to http://in.blackberry.com/services/blackberry6/update.jsp and it continues in circle......
I am really puzzled what to do. The desktop manager tells me that the upgrade version is available but is for only for active blackberry subcribers. Now what does Blackberry subscription means??

Trying to Update software on new MacBook Air

I go into update software proceed to up date software it downloads the update then follows by restarting.
All seems good I get asked to restart then it comes back corrupt files.
This all but taken me 1hour or so to get to this point.
This MacBook is straight out of box nothing done to it.
So I start again it has done it twice.
Rather fed up & my time required me to go to work then play with my new toy
What is the best way to start updating software. Should I start with program's then os. Or OS then program's

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

I cannot update iPad to newer s/w iOS 8.0.2

I am trying to help my parents with an iPad that is probably a couple of years old. I was trying to update to a newer s/w push to 8.0.2 and it says it needs 1.8 GB to upload. I tried to update an app that needed 915 MB and both of them would not upload. They both said I needed more storage space. I deleted all apps that I could and the device says I have 1.9 GB available and 11.4 GB used.
My parents received this iPad after purchasing a cadillac vehicle but it does not seem they can do a lot with currently. Do I need to reset this iPad? I attempted to back up stuff to the iCloud but I cannot seem to check to make sure the back up worked. I pushed the Back up now tab and it says it took but I thought I could sign into the cloud to actually check but I cannot find the actual sign in screen to check.
Thanks for the help.

Factory Restore successful, but cannot update software again

My Apple TV froze while disconnecting from Itunes. It is one of the first versions of Apple TV..only 32 GB. The only way I could solve the problem was to do a Factory Restore. This worked, but when I tried to update software, it is not working properly. It only allows me to update software one time even though I have updated it 4 or 5 times since we purchased it. The screen turned a bright purple and we cannot rent or buy anything from the Apple TV directly. Even if we stream content from the computer, the images are muted and the wrong colors.
Is there any way that I can install all of the updates separately? Please advise.
Thank you!

try another factory restore and confirm that the network is running all ok before attempting the update (ie test movie trailers etc).
Yes - that sounds best.
You could also try running diagnostics before doing the reset (hold menu and down on remote to reboot to disagniostics which also has factory restore in the menu).

I cannot update software for my Macbook Pro

when i try to update software, it shows update is available. i click update, and then shows 12 items available. i click continue, soon, shows message that needs to restart the computer. i click restart and computer turns and screen frozen

Update softwares one by one could figure out what is the problem.
