Download of 10.7.4. upgrade fails

I boughht a used MacBook Air and installed my system via TimeMachine. But it's an older backup with only 10.7.3.
I tried the systems Software Update, but it fails after loading over 90% of the data. Then I tried manual downloading the files for combo and system update - but everything fals on my macbook air with the error that the destination file cannot be written.
Then I thought let me download it using the iMac - but the same error here - the download fails after about 80% telling me that the destination file cannot be written.
What can I do to get my MacBookAir updated to 10.7.4 ?
What's wrrong with the download files?
I sit in germany and have a 2,5MB download - so the line isn't the problem.

Do you know if Lion was preinstalled on that machine or did the seller buy it from MAS?
There could be several causes; one is that when someone purchases Lion from MAS, not only the machine ID is recorded, but the Apple ID of the purchaser as well. If the two don't match, downloads/installs won't work. When Lion was purchased from MAS, the license is not transferable and the seller is required to wipe the drive and reinstall the original sysem.
If the machine came with Lion preinstalled, then the seller can make a one time transfer of the OS - however, I do not know how that is supposed to be accomplished. If this is the case, call Apple and ask them for instructions.
And, a third possibility: the backup is a) an earlier version of the OS than what the new machine came with - you cannot "downgrade" Mac OS, you must wipe the drive first; and/or b) the backup is from another machine originally made with an install disk - those were machine specific and will only work on the machine they came with.
So, there are several possibilities here; it would help if you could supply more detailed information on the new machine as well as where the TM backup came from.

Hello @chavanjayesh2001... I wanted to give you some tips for when you can't update the software of your phone:
-Make sure that the Internet connection is good. If the update process is interrupted it might be due to loss of Internet connection.
-Try using another USB cable and usb port in your computer.
-Try using another PC.
-Temporary disable any firewalls and or antivirus software.
-Start your PC in “Safe mode with networking” mode. This is done by pressing F8 during PC boot. When Windows is started in safe mode, try taking the update again.

An unknown error occurred while accessing the upgrade file.
A system reboot is required when the upgrade process completes or is canceled. .
I have previously used this ISO for other clients without an issue and have checked the MD5 is correct
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks,

We have got this resolved, after raising a case with TAC they identified that we were hitting the following bug;
CSCub53409
The detail on the bug is very limited but in our case it was caused by an issue with the numbering plan, GBNB 1.1(21) - we upgraded to the latest version 1.1(29) and the upgrade has now completed.

On Windows 7 PC, got the "upgrade iTunes" notice, said sure, but the upgrade failed, now I can't access iTunes "invalid permissions"

On Windows 7 PC, got the "upgrade iTunes" notice this morning, said sure, but the upgrade failed, now I can't access iTunes "invalid permissions"
I wasn't paying attention so I don't know the precise error I got on the upgrade failure.
All other iTunes upgrades have been fine...no brainers. Done several on this W7 PC.
If I re-download and install a fresh iTunes I assume I will lose my library...true? Can I find and save off my library so I don't have to "discover" all my music which is scattered all over the PC and a 1T attached USB drive.
Or is there some way to get the iTunes upgrade to successfully restart and install correctly?
Help!

MAIL: The upgrade failed - error occurred during upgrade. launching Mail Import assistant to repair damaged index did not work

After installing Yosemite, the Mail required an upgrade. the upgrade was completed but resulted in a message: The upgrade failed. error occurred during the upgrade, check continue to launch Mail Import Assistant.
This resulted in an instruction: Your mail index has been damaged. To repair it quit mail. Mail will repair index next time you open mail.
Following this instruction resulted in the same failure message being repeated continuously.
How do I proceed to upgrade the Mail app.?

If doing as the alert directs (relaunching Mail) has no effect, see below.
The new version of Mail stores its database in a different format than the old one, so the database has to be converted before Mail can use it. Sometimes the conversion fails because the old database is corrupt. The easy way to recover is to discard the old database and start afresh. You can do that without losing any messages, provided that:
☞ All your incoming mail accounts are on an IMAP or Exchange server
☞ You store sent messages on the server
☞ You don't have any "On My Mac" mailboxes
Most well-known independent mail services such as iCloud and Gmail are based on IMAP. On the other hand, ISP-hosted mail services almost always use POP. If your ISP is one of your mail service providers (or the only one), you probably can't use this procedure. Ask for further instructions in that case.
If you know that the conditions above are satisfied, continue as follows.
Quit Mail if it's running. Back up all data.
Open the Library folder in your home folder by holding down the option key and selecting
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Inside it is a subfolder named "Mail." Move that folder to the Desktop. You're not moving the Mail application; you're moving a folder named "Mail."
Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and recreate your mail accounts other than iCloud with the same settings as before. To recreate an iCloud mail account, all you have to do is open the iCloud preference pane and check the box marked Mail.
Launch Mail. If all goes well, your mailboxes should be restored automatically. The messages will be downloaded from the servers, so it may take a long time if you have very large mailboxes. Some people have mailboxes in the gigabyte range, and that may be a problem if your bandwidth usage is metered.
If the mailboxes are created successfully, you can delete the folder you moved to the Desktop. You may have to recreate your Mail rules, signatures, and custom stationery. If it's very important to you not to have to do all that, ask for instructions before deleting the folder.

Creative Zen Microphoto - "Firmware upgrade failed&qu

Hi,
two days ago my Zen Microphoto started in "Recovery Mode".
I had no means of getting out. I first selected "Clean Up" and rebooted, still "Recovery Mode".
Then I downloaded the latest firmware version for it:
ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe
Then I selected "Upgrade Firmware", acknowledged with "Yes", the firmware was deleted, but the windows firmware application said "no player connected" after connecting the player.
Okay, after googling a bit, I found out that I needed to downgrade from WMP to WMP 0.
I (painfully) did this and after installing an additional Registry Key via fixup.cmd the
ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe
detected the player (hurray!). It showed "Current Player Firmware Version .20.0 " and "Upgrade File Version .3.0".
When clicking on "Upgrade" at the windows application, the blue progress bar appeared and the player showed "Recovery Mode" and a blinking USB logo.
What it did NOT show afterwards was a gear symbol with "Upgrading firmware" (which I found on a screenshot in the internet).
When the blue progress bar of the windows firmware upgrade application reached about 85% it halted and after minute the windows firmware application showed "Firmware upgrade failed!" while the player only showed a black screen with "Recovery Mode" and the green battery symbol at the top.
I also tried the same procedure with
ZenMicroPhotoP4S_PCFW_LB__20_0.exe with the same result: "Firmware upgrade failed!"
Any ideas how to "repair" the player

Mail upgrade failed: osx lion

I have a Macbook pro 17 intel dual core.
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and I have encountered the following problem.
Mail begins the importing of messages and once the import is complete it moves to the migrating data step
"MAIL UPGRADE FAILED"
An error occured during the upgrade. Click continue to launch the Mail Import Assistant, which will help you create a new library and import your existing messages"
When I click "Continue", the following message appears
Your Mail index has been damaged. To repair it, quit Mail.
Mail will repair the index the next time you open Mail. Your mailboxes and messages will be preserved.
But of course, Mail doesn't repair itself the next time it is opened....this just continues to happen.
Any help? I have read threads that suggesting deleting Mail preferences can help. Interestingly, I can't find mail preferences in the library folder

I fixed my issue, though it took hours of trial and error.
First, check Console (Applications/Utilities/Console) and click on All Messages in the left sidebar.   I had a message about permission denied to copy a file during the upgrade. I manually moved that file to the desktop. After that the message migration finished, and Mail launched. Hurray I thought! But on reboot, Mail would not launch. It just hung. This time there weren't any helpful messages in Console to be found.
I read over these threads for the tips:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3189986?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15666804#15666804
As best I can remember (it's been a long night), this was my process:
(Force) Quit Mail
Navigate to userI/Library/Mail folder
Move the entire Mail folder elsewhere, like your desktop
Launch Mail. At this point it should be be prompting you for info.
If you don't have anything on your machine only, just put in your info and download everything from your server from scratch. You're done!   If however you have my problem with 164,000 messages stored locally, read on…
Quit Mail
Back in user/Library there's a new Mail folder.
One by one, move the items from the old Mail folder to the new one and launch Mail. Make sure to move the user/library/mail/v2/maildata/accounts.plist first so it stops prompting you for account info. Make sure to quit Mail between every file move. If you don't see a v2 folder, or a v2-temp folder, it means the migration hasn't happened yet. Just keep moving things over until it does, cause the migration changes the directory structure of the Mail folder.
At the point you move your old archived messages over, the next Launch Apple will import and migrate all the messages. This can take anywhere from 2 minutes to 45 depending on how many messages it needs to cull through.
I ended up moving everything but the RSS folder items back, and Mail is once again stable.
At some point I also booted into Lion Recovery partition (hold Command + R at boot) and ran Disk Utility to repair permissions. However I don't believe that actually helped.
Good Luck!

WRK54G firmware upgrade fails: file pattern error.

When I attempt to upgrade the firmware in my WRK54G router, the upgrade fails with this error message:
Upgrade action is not finish!!
Upgrade file pattern error.
The linksys download page says the file size is 1.10 MB.
The size of the file I downloaded (WRK54Gv2_1_00_1) is also 1.10 MB (1,160,036 bytes). So it appears the file was downloaded successfully.
I had no problem upgrading the firmware to version 1.1.
Please advise.
Thank you

What is the hardware version of your router? Is it version 1, version 1.1 or version 2? Where did you download the firmware of your router? Is it from the US website.
On the US website you have 3 wrk54g, one is version 1, version 1.1 and v2.

Mail Upgrade Failed. Launch mail assistant. Mail index damaged. Says it will repair when mail is launched but it never does repair it. Any idea why this is happening?

I downloaded Yosemite to upgrade from IOS 10.6.8. Mail will not work. It says the upgrade failed and to launch the mail assistant. Then the next message says mail index has been damaged. To repair it quit Mail. It will be repaired the next time you launch mail. However, this never works. I tried recovery and downloaded the software again but the same thing happened. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same thing happening. Everything else seems to be working fine, except i can't open my mac mail at all! it seems to be in a loop and won't let me retrieve any mail or even try to send mail before migrating, but it fails and then its back to the beginning and the same loop continues, so no mac mail working. I also came from 10.6.8 to 10.10

I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and have the same problem. My hard drive crashed, installed a new one and then reinstalled CS5 extended. Installation went fine, but can no longer open my camera RAW files from Photoshop (camera is a Canon EOS T2i. The message also tells me I am not eligible for the update. I am... and I cannot open my files and I could before. I can find nowhere to contact Adobe to tell me how to proceed. My daughter is all a registered user of the same product and she had no problems upgrading... we purchased ours each at the same time. I do know the difference is that I had to reinstall and she did not. If that means anything.

BB 10.1 upgrade failed :(

I tried to up perform the 10.1 upgrade.
It downloaded ok but the part 2 failed, now when I go into Software Updates it says:
The software download was interrupted. Please try again.
I click on the Cancel Update button but nothing happens.
I have turned the phone off and on but still no luck.
What can I do?

Right now that's probably a good thing, as there are some bugs in 10.1. Stick with the version you have until they do some fixes...

[SOLVED]Full upgrade fails after new install

Hello,
Please note before reading that I know about the recent changes with the /lib symlink to /usr/lib and the filesystem (I read the home page).
After a fresh install, I try to upgrade the system :
pacman -Syy && pacman -Syu : it asks for pacman update, I say yes.
pacman -S pacman : fails because of glibc
pacman -S pacman --ignore glibc : fails, won't upgrade because glibc it's a dependency of pacman
pacman -Syu : say no to pacman upgrade, fails because of glibc and filesystem
pacman -Syu --ignore glibc --ignore fliesystem : upgrade almost nothing because most of the packages (~400M) need glibc
I can't upgrade anything at the end...
Thanks for any help

If either of this steps does not work (e.g. due to dependency version issues, file conflicts in /lib), refer to this G U I D E for more detailed instructions on performing this upgrade.
Did you read this guide?
There is thread about it also: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144620
And Allan wrote a blog entry about upgrading from core installation: http://allanmcrae.com/2012/07/updating- … e-install/
BTW as Pres suggested go with the net-install, core installation was always kind of a fallback for me and I had to do this just once because of network troubles. It just doesn't make much sense to do core installation if there is no holdback because with first pacman -Syu you'll end up downloading the same amount of data as if you would do a clean net-install, and it's faster and you probably won't get conflicts accumulated from year or so.
