Error Message when installing updates: "Cannot open file (-3001)"

I have a MacBook3.1. with Mac OS 10.5.7. Three days ago I installed 5 to 6 updates for iTunes, iDVD, AirPort Express, Java, etc. After the installation, I could not access the internet because my AirPort wireless on the Mac was off (non-existent). I could not even scan for my network. I could not access iTunes, in fact when I opened iTunes, the application got stuck and I could not even "force quit" the application. I went to the Apple Store and was told to Re-install the original OS discs (10.5) received with the MacBook, which I did. After the installation things seemed to be back to normal. I was able to access the internet, etc. However, I could not open iTunes because and I paraphrase "the iTunes version that created/supported the application is not.....". OK so I need to update the software. Now, when I tried to update the software with the newly installed "re-install" 10.5 OS I received the following message:
"A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
Meanwhile, I was searching the internet googling the above message. So internet access was not the issue. I decided to create a "test" admin account to see if I could update from another account. Low and behold, I was able to access and update each new software update from the new "test" account and ultimately open iTunes from my personal (main) account.
Very confused and could use some guidance. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
My general rules:
Never install more than one update at a time - especially those requiring a reboot.
Whenever possible, use the manual updates and for OS updates, always use the manual combo update.
If a problem does occur, reinstall any "bad" updates with manual updates. Yes, they can be reapplied.
Again, one at a time.

    I've been trying to install recent updates for numbers, pages, and keynote, I get a message that says "There was an error in the App store. Please try again later." (20).  I tried several times over the last few days and continue to get the same error  message.

    Thank you Catherine & MrToaster - Yes - I've just updated to my new credit card. All the details were correct, inc authorisation code but App Store kept prompting me to update iMovie then, not allowing me to (There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)).
    Your advice worked - I logged out and in again.
    The problem is that I'll definitely have forgotten your tip when my card next expires!

  • I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison"

    I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison" What do I do?

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001)

    When I attempt to use Software Update I get the following message: "A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001)"
    I am connected to the Internet, can connect with iDisk no problem. Manual downloading also works.
    Any ideas? Do I trash a corrupted file or what?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I troubleshot this problem with a helpful Apple tech person who provided a workaround:
    Establish a second identity. After you log out of your own identity and into the second identity, you can successfully use software update. He had me trash a number of items deep within the system but nothing else worked. I also ran the Utilities program both off the system and the 10.5 disk with no effect.
    So far then, the only solution appears to be the second identity route or to manually download and apply updates. Quite a mystery I'd say!
    Any ideas out there?

    How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

    We were able to update iPhones but get an error message when trying update our iPad. Ay suggestions?

    What iOS are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
