Cannot update software since 2011

I have been directed to go to /Library/Preferences/SystemUpdate.plist then move this to my desk top and start in safe mode - have tried to navigate, but safari says it cannot open this page??Wha

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.

  • 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 keynote "since you have not owned a major version of this software".

    I ordered my Macbook Air with keynote together online, so keynote does not appear on my purchase list. Hence when I try to update keynote, it keeps saying that "you cannot update this software since you have not owned a major version of this software". Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Probably it's hidden. Before being able to update it, you have to unhide Keynote > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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 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.

     Hi all,

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??????

    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??

  • Cannot update software with Windows Phone 7 Connector.

    I cannot get Windows Phone 7 Connector to download software updates for my HTC Trophy. I unlocked the phone and took it to Europe last year, I returned to the US in January 2012 and the phone has been working fine, but I have not been receiving any software updates. Today I tried to download some apps and discovered that I've missed some updates and I cannot download anything through Marketplace until I fix it. When I try to update the software, I get an error message that tells me that Windows Phone 7 Connector cannot download the updates. I think the problem may have to do with the APN, but other users who have mentioned similar issues after reconnecting an unlocked phone have lost all data connection.

    Well, they were wrong.  Your issue is with Microsoft products, not Apple.  Therefore questions should be presented on their forums.
