Error message after running Software Update

Please help. I cannot do the latest Software Update. I have tried multiple time and each time I have gotten the same error message. Here it is:
"The update could not be expanded and verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I can't help with your issue as a general problem, but for the specific update to OS X 10.6.6, I'd download the updater directly from http://support.apple.downloads, then install it from the ".dmg" file. The specific links will be either
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349 for the "combo" update or
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1343 for the update from OS X 10.6.5.

  • Error -36 after running software updates

    I'm working at a new place that hadn't run software update in months. I just finished updating everything and now I can't connect to the server anymore. Everyone else in the office is connected, so it's just me. Also, I was connected a few hours ago before I started installing all the updates.
    I had security and firmware updates included. Any ideas?
    Also, the connection is being made with smb protocol, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

    most of the other computers in the office are PCs. There is only one other Mac. (that user is on vacation and I'm not sure if it will connect or not.)
    I'm not sure about the server, but will try to find out and post later. (I came in this morning and nothing has changed).
    Thanks again.

  • Error message after web software update

    Every time I do a software update of the OS on my intel macbook, and no matter what Apple decides to update on my computer, after I do the requested reboot, i immediately get a message onscreen that Norton Utilities has detected new software, and do i want it checked out to see if it is a virus.
    Is this message from Apple? I ask this question, because i have not loaded Norton utilities into my system. Perhaps stranger, I can not actually locate norton utilities on my hard drive. I did a spotlight search on norton and came up empty. Then i tried a search on symantec, which i believe makes this software, and came up with a folder in my library/startupitems folder called NUMcompatibiltycheck. Inside the folder is a file of that same name, plus startupParameters.plist, and a folder called Resources which contains two files called infoplist.strings and localizable.strings
    Obviously, I don't want to make a terrible mistake by trashing files that the system may need to run properly. Can someone out there tell me if NUMcompatibiltycheck is the source folder for my Norton Utilities message? If so, can i trash the whole folder, without affecting the OS? and is this something apple pre-loaded onto my computer as part of OS X 10.4?

    thanks for your quick reply. I did what you recommend, specifically trashing that folder I mention in my previous post. It may be weeks before I upload any new apps to my two macs, which is the only time this message from Norton ever appears. But I do have a good feeling this will solve it. I thought I'd better ask before trashing anything in the library folder.

  • Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update (Couldn't fix it)

    Hi there,
    I also have been experiencing some problems after running Software Update (Security update + Java) a couple of days ago. Similarly to Jandaf (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9000023) I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. Based on the information provided in this forum I have tried some procedures which didn't solved my problem so far. Below I describe I have tried:
    1) I have booted using the installation DVD and run the disk utility. When performing the First Aid/Verify Disk I found some errors ('Invalid node structure'). But I couldn't fix the problem using disk repair (same problem 'Invalid node structure' 'Volume check failed'.
    2) I also tried to boot in single user mode (command + s) to run fsck -fy. It didn't work. I got the following message (last 4 lines):
    CSRHIDTTransitionDriver::probe: -s
    CSRHIDTTransitionDriver::probe: booting in single user .. do not match
    Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyboard" has no kernel dependency.
    Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCEventDriver" has no kernel dependency.
    3) When trying to boot in safe mode. I got a grey screen with the following message:
    'You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button".
    4) I also tried to 'Archieve & Instal'. Again no success. After reading the DVD the action is terminated because some errors (does not specify).
    5) I also tried the 'German Medicine' (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8728797#8728797) (i.e. Connect the 'problematic MacBook' to my old G4 via firewire and reinstall the 2009-001 update). Again no success. The G4 cannot mount the MacBook hardrive.
    I don't know what to do any more.
    A) Can I resuscitate my old system? If yes how?
    B) If not, can I at least save the data I have in my old HD?
    C) Is it possible to format and reinstall the OS or is this this computer doomed?
    Apologies for writing so many questions but I'm really freaking out!
    Thank you.
    B.

    Hi BDAqua,
    I did as you said and got a firewire backup drive (Seagate - FreeAgent Desk 500GB). I tried to make a carbon copy of HD but it seems that the copy had some problems. Below I report both the CCC and console logs:

  • Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

    My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
    I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
    I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
    Any suggestions?

    Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
    This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

    I keep getting a Networking Error: when i run Software update. i have 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to at least 10.6 or later. i know the network is working perfectly.

    Snow Leopard OS 10.6 is not available via Software Update, it is paid upgrade.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

    So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
    XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
    that's not working either... I wonder if you know
    windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
    x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
    do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
    raising the security settings but nothing appears...
    interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

  • HT1338 Receiving Error when I run Software Update in Mountain Lion.

    I am receiving the following error when I run software update in OS-X Mountain Lion. The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)
    Is this a problem with my MBP or is there an issue with the AppStore servers? Is there an alternate way in Mountain Lion to look for updates if the problem is with the AppStore app itself?
    Thank you,

    Apparently a server overload > NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    It sounds simplistic, but restart your computer if you have not already done so. I looked, but could not find that particular error code.
