Computer not updating to Leopard 10.5.5

My girlfriends computer will not update to 10.5.5 for some reason. I did the update no problem. For her, it comes with 9 other updates (iPhoto, etc) as well as the system update and it will not configure the installation. It just freezes at the screen. I tried installing each on its own, and it still does the same and gets hung up at the configuration screen. Any tips or any help? Thanks!

It asks for the password, I put it in. Then it brings up the terms of agreement, I hit accept. It tells me that I need to restart, so I hit restart. It then brings up the bar to start installation, but the progress on it never moves. It just hangs there. Occasionally, it fills approx. 1/8 of the way, but same story, it doesn't go any further and doesn't load. Yesterday, I let it stay there while I went to my classes. 7 hours later, it was still at the same progress area not moving, so I hit Command+Q. I checked to see if it worked, and it didn't and I have to start all over again.

  • Computer Not Updating Software

    For the past few months whenever I try to run the system updates, I get an error message that says, "The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”." Anyone know what that means or what I can do to fix it? I just received a new iPod Nano and can't use it until I get the latest version of iTunes, but I can't download it. So frustrated!!!

    First try running "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utilities. then download itunes as a stand alone download.

    If this does not work you might create another administrator account and try the update from there.

  • My computer has not updated my photo to icloud since April 4.  Why?

    Why has my computer not updated the current pictures on icloud since April 4, 2015?

    Hi. I just saw your post so checked my photos in iCloud and found that the last uploads were March 20th.
    Earlier today, I updated my iPad Air to IOS 8.3.   I disconnected from iCloud, then logged in again under the Control Panel, Settings, iCloud.  I then clicked the Photos icon under it and under iCloud Photo Library (turned on) it listed Uploading 605 photos (currently reading Uploading 60 photos as I write this).  Now it has finished as it now reads "Updated Just Now".
    Re-checking iCloud Photos in iCloud, they are all now ("605 photos and videos") with the latest photos dated April 7, 2015 (the same as my iPad), so the sync seems to be working properly now.  Out of interest, I use Waterfox Version 36.0.4 (this is the 64-bit version using the same Mozilla base as Firefox) which is not listed as supported, but appears to work fine for me.
    Hope this helps?

  • Update to leopard 10.5.8 or install Snow leopard

    I have a big problem with my macbook pro 3,1. I can not update to leopard 10.5.8 or install the Snow Leopard. The problems are:
    - When updated to 10.5.8 (now i found this problem also appears when updated to 10.5.6), after the update completing, the mac restart and it's screen will be dark. The mac was freeze. I have to install version 10.5 again.
    - When install the Snow Leopard, after booting from the DVD, the screen also becomes dark and can not go further.
    I'm the newbie of Mac so who knows to fix my problem please help me.
    Below is my MBP information:
    - Processor : santarosa 2,2GHZ
    - Ram : 2G
    - Boot Rom: MBP31.005E.B00
    - SMC version: 1.16b3

    Boot from your Leopard OD installer disk and from Disk Utility run Repair Disk.
    If there are no repairs needed reboot to your internal hard drive and from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder run Repair Permissions.
    Use the stand alone 10.5.8 combo updater to update from here.

  • Late 2007 MacBook White Will Not Update After Installation of 10.6 Snow Leopard

    I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this problem and hopefully diagnosis it as a non-motherboard or logic board issue.
    Had 10.7.8 installed successfully for 4-6 months, upgraded from 10.6.8, the end of Snow Leopard.
    Had to force shut down computer after external hd wouldn't eject.  After restarting, computer never restarted (was stuck on Apple/spinning wheel).
    I have tried everything, PRAM reset, SMC reset, hard reset (battery out, power button 5-10 seconds), recovery mode reinstall of Lion, reinstall of Snow Leopard pre-hd format, zero hd format + reinstall of snow leopard, reinstall of original install disk 10.5 to failed software update.
    I've literally tried everything.  I'm able to reinstall base OS' but not update to recent versions either 10.5.8 or 10.6.8 to upgrade back up to 10.7.5 Lion.
    Oh, and don't tell me to do a D at start up for a hardware test, it came back with nothing wrong, and my 500gb western digital hd (1 month old) has been verified and seems to be ok and repaired permissions which there were a lot but still seemed to be ok after.
    Anyone have any advice?  Motherboards are around 400$ from MacMall.
    It'd be great not to have to throw this thing away as it's still a solid work/office computer.
    Or should I just stick to 10.6 base Snow Leopard?
    Thanks everyone!

    OK, now you need to update it to 10.6.8: Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Sign into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to purchase Lion. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. Look for your Lion purchase in the list and click on the Download/Install button.
    I suggest for the future you read this:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
          side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.     
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
      a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
      b. Open Disk Utility.
      c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
      d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
      f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
      g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4.

  • Whenever i try to update my macbook pro, it downloads then says I need to restart my computer. I restart the computer, and everything just freezes. When my computer eventually turns back on, its not updated. other apps i try to download dont download also

    Whenever i try to update my macbook pro, it downloads then says I need to restart my computer. I restart the computer, and everything just freezes. When my computer eventually turns back on, its not updated. other apps i try to download dont download also

    First, do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    When you complete the above re-download your OS X upgrade (not sure which one that is, but I assume Mavericks.) After the download is completed re-install it. Hopefully, this time it will do what you expect.

  • ICal not updating on computer

    I have a MobileMe account, iPhone and mac laptop. In the past few days I've noticed that iCal on my computer is not updating at all (and seems to have not updated in quite some time). MobileMe and the iPhone seem to be working together and synching information, but nothing is getting to the computer's iCal. I mostly use the calendar on the iPhone, so that's where most of the information is coming from.
    And I've tried the following:
    -Deleting the Calendar cache in Home/Library/Calendars
    -Deleting com.apple.iCal from Library/Caches
    -Deleting com.apple.iCal.plist and com.apple.iCal.helper.plist from Home/Libarary/Preferences
    -Resetting my synch data so that I replace all synch info on the computer with the info on MobileMe
    And I continue to get the following message:
    "*Calendars could not be synched due to inconsistent data.*
    Confirm that your computer's data is valid, then reset Calendars on MobileMe in System Preferences."
    I've even tried moving iCal to the trash and then run software update to see if it would download a new version of iCal (it doesn't).
    And I've either restarted or shut down the computer between all of these efforts.
    Contacts and mail all seem to be working & synching just fine.
    I recently had Leopard and a new hard drive installed (but over two months ago), and was out of the country for six weeks, both of which may or may not have something to do with this (i.e., maybe there's an issue with the time change somewhere internally in the computer).
    I'm really frustrated. Any thoughts?
    And thank you in advance.

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

    Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign. I have tried to reset my iPod and checked for new updates, but they haven't worked. If anyone knows what to do that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes. Since I installed the new system software (10.4.6) update Sunday night, I cannot update any of my iPods except the iPod video. The iPods also do not show up on my desktop. The battery charges but that's all that happens.

  • I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I have not updated since purchase.  I have downloaded music from iTunes from an old computer that I can no longer access, and my "old" music in not currently on my new computer.  Will I lose my music if I update?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and have not updated the software since I purchased it.  When I first purchased the iPod Touch, I synced it with an old computer and an older version of iTunes.  I no longer have access to the old computer and no access to the older music I downloaded onto the old computer.  If I update the software for my iPod, will I lose all of my music that is currently on the iPod?

    Since your updating from iOS 4 to iOS 6, you will most likely lose your songs, but if songs were purchased from iTunes, you can try this:
    Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You can redownload from iTunes on your iTouch, if running iOS 5 or better.

  • IPod not recognized in My Computer/iTunes/Updater

    I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere but I couldn't seem to find my exact problem. I have a 30GB Video iPod that has been working just fine. Plugged it in and transfered some new songs before I left on my trip. Took my Computer and iPod with me to FL. Got to Florida and plugged it in and my computer would no longer recognize my iPod. Wouldn't find it in My Computer/iTunes/Updater; it would however, find it if I go into the Device Manager and clicking on disks. I could also find it by going into computer management then click on Disk Management. One thing I did notice was that the iPod was not given a drive letter, so I gave it one; still wouldn't find it, restarted the computer and it still wouldn't find it. Not sure what's going on but when I plugged in my Camera to upload some pictures I took of our trip, it won't find my camera's disk either unless I go into either Device Manager/Computer Management(Disk Management). Can anyone help here? is this a USB power issue?

    That is EXACTLY what my stupid computer is doing. I tried my iPod on my friends laptop & it worked fine but not on my PC someone please figure this out, I've tried everything i can think of, I even had new usb ports & card put in!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
