Corrupt Software Updates and Downloads
Sorry if there is already an answer floating around for this, but I have not been able to find it.
Whenever I try to download and install updates from Software Update, during the installation process I get an error message saying that all of the downloaded updates are corrupted. Sometimes after downloading updates for Logic and iLife 10 to 15 times, the update will finally install, but the combined update to 10.6.4 never installs and the same thing also applies to iPhone updates via iTunes and occasionally a rar, zip, or dmg file. Is there an fix for this? Thanks in advance!
iPhone software updates through iTunes always give me an error that says they are corrupted, and occasionally a dmg or rar file will be corrupted (like 1 in 10), but apps and music downloaded through iTunes always download fine.

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. -
How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.
I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

I'm trying to update my iphone, but when I download the software update and then when it is "complete" a message pops up stating that it has been timed-outed and to try again later. This is the 5th time i've tried. And i am getting very annoyed. Can anyone help me?
Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed. But, I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either. Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window. Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar. No luck.
Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue. It did not help. Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit". That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone. Thanks!

Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.
When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently? -

cannot install itunes 7 because os 10.6.8 is needed. I select software update and the 10.6.8 is not available to be downloaded. I'm trying to load itunes to the iphone5
If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
If you don't know, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.

downloaded the recent software update and now the screen is locked up with an apple icon
Well I am having the same issue and I had not had to worry about getting a "licensed charger." The poster who responded offered not real insite and was rude to boot. I am also looking for the fix on this . My iphone will not even charge now on any charger. What the heck. I am not trying to treaten anyone either when I say I am frustrated with my iphone which in my case I have only had for a few months. I have already sent one in to be replaced and this is my second one. I have had troubles since the update GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .

How do i own the software to enable me to update and download all free updates?
How do I get to own the software to enable me to update and download all my free updates.
I am having a problem when I go to update my Apps. May be i have changed the password. but now I can not update my apps i itunes.
It gives me the message " You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." I do not know what to do. Can someone help me?
Thank you
jackchildi'm here because i have a question about software update, but your question intrigues me. from what i understand, you're talking about two different things. i'm on the same version of osx and i have an application that is called App Store. I have placed it in my dock. do you have this? I believe it is part of the os. when you open the app there are columns on the top, just like the ios app store, the one on the far right being updates. when you click on this it offers you the option to update all of your "purchased" apps for Mac, with "purchased" including free apps. Unfortunately, unlike the ios app store, you still need to sign into itunes/icloud to get the updates. i'm sure they will change this in a future update because it's simply silly.i believe that your Apple ID and password are the same between itunes and the icloud, since they synch with each other -- they are for me, so the different IDs and passwords referenced above refer to this community forum vs itunes/icloud.
i hope this helps. good luck... -
I just purchased a "Bag of Gems" for $9.99 in "Clash of Clans". The purchase did not download. I checked my account and the $9.99 transaction has posted already. I did the advise from Apple Support to do software update and still nothing.
Check restrictions. Settings > General > Restrictions

Downloading software updates and largish files
Hi--
Ever since bringing in my old home computer (imac 10.4.5) to use on the office network, I am having trouble getting software updates or other downloads such as Palm software and audible.com audiobooks. Small downloads work fine, as does my mail and net access, but software update and other application downloads stall about two minutes in. Our ISP and tech consultant insist I am connected correctly and that they do not limit download size. It all worked fine at home. What am I doing wrong?Note, before updating any software, read carefully my FAQ* to avoid surprises:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
There a download manager built-in to Safari. Just download your updates from http://www.apple.com/swupdates/
And open the Downloads window to manage your download.
Given the size of the updates, you may want to consider gettin an airport card for your iMac, and occasionally taking it in to a WiFi hotspot mentioned on http://www.jiwire.com/ to download your updates. Package it carefully in the original packaging it came in, or get an iLugger bag to carry it. Or you can put the update on a flash drive and bring it to your iMac if you also have a notebook computer. Some stores also let you bring your own blank CD to burn the update as well. Check with the stores in your area. Dialup has a lot of problems when software downloads get over 10 MB getting a reliable copy of the download because of errors on the line.

Failure to download software updates and IP blacklisting
SOme setting on my computer is stopping me from downloading iPhone software and Office for Mac software updates (network time-out and 9006 errors). My IP address is also repeatedly being blacklisted at my web based ISP (they say because of my file sharing settings!). I am at a complete loss! I do not run any anti-virus or malware program. Is it my firewal setting? I have also tried to turn off Airport and effect downloads via ethernet cable directly to my router. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My firewall log (see extract below) is full of stuff - mentions Dropbox data and nmbd data amongst other things - is this perhaps the problem? HELP!!!!

Had a look at my Firewall settings in System Preferences.
Allow all incoming connections is ticked.
In the box below under File Sharing (AFP) is -
BackService.app - Block incoming connections.
Does this have anything to do with my failure to download the software?
I have managed to do Microsoft Office software updates and a few others, so it appears to only be the iPhone update and my web based email being blocked (blacklisting my IP address) - this service provider says it is something to do with file sharing and their system being "pinged" too many times in a short time frame and thus automatically blocking my IP.
Am so confused as to how to solve this...... -
I started to download from software update and decided I don't want the items after the download had begun. How can I cancel a download? I don't want to just pause it, I want it to GO AWAY. I don't want it to resume any time ever.
