Error message with Software Update

Hi everyone. I'm getting the following error message when trying to download some items via Software Update:
"None of the checked updates could be saved. A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
This is for the following downloads:
iPhoto 7.1.4
iDVD 7.0.2
iMovie 7.1.4
Security Update 2008-005
Any ideas? I have no problems with Internet access at all. I'm running a new 24" Intel iMac 3.06 GHz with Mac OS 10.5.4
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Bruce

Hi baltwo.
I was able to manually download the iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie updates from the Apple website and install them with no problem.
After I downloaded the Security Update 2008-005 and tried to install it I get the following error message:
"You cannot install Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
Is this why the other downloads were prevented? I've never had problems with Software Update before.

Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then. Reboot your iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Error message during software updates

I am constantly receiveing the following error message during software updates. This time it happened with an HP printer update, but it has happened with iTunes and Safari as well. Does anyone know what I need to do?
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/GeneIOUSBCFSubclass.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update
Thanks!

Try using Help > Updates from one of your CS6 applications.
When you return home, you might try uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling it again. It sounds like some stuff may have become corrupted.

Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
Still the same TS1275?
Is your iPhone jailbroken?
Or
Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

Error Message with iTunes update

Since updating to the latest version of iTunes, I'm getting an error message that doesn't make sense.
This is the message:
"Some of the iTunes Store files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because
the iPod may only contain content from five iTunes Store accounts."
1. I don't sync any music, I put it on manually
2. I only have 4 iTunes Store accounts, not 5.
3. It only happens when syncing podcasts. But when I check all podcasts are synced properly.
Has anyone else seen this?

It is also happening with newer content from the iTunes Store. Any thoughts out there?

HT1338 Error message with iphoto update

I just got a macbook pro with retina display, every time I try to update iPhoto I get an error message "iPhoto failed to download: use the purchases page to try again", I do as I told and yet I get the same error message. Can anyone help?

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

How can I eliminate auto messages with Software Update

All,
I constantly get popups for Software Updates, like several times a day and want to eliminate them. And/or select what software to update, as a lot of it is old that I don't have anymore.
I've tried several option in the System Prefs but none seems to work.
(also, unrelated, how can I get an email for responses?)
Thanks

At he top of this page, click on 'Your Stuff' and select 'profile'.
On the right of that page is a block with various 'actions', one of which is managing email notifications.

Error message when clicking "Update" in the server options on ServerManager

Hello,
I have a strange error message when I want to modify the server options through the Server manager component (BPC for MS 7.0 SP5).
Here is the error message :
"Cannot update server options.
Err: Cannot connect to the web server registry. Make sure the [Remote Registry]service on the Web server has been started.
To check the [Remote Registry] service, go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services."
I checked the service mentionned in the message, nothing to be signaled : the service is running, I tried to restart it and test again but the error message still remains.
In fact, as we are in a BPC Server loadbalancer environment (2 BPC servers), we enter (try to enter), the virtual host name of the NLB in the fields (External Server Name, Application Server Name etc...), and we noticed that if we enter the physical Server names in the fields, the Update works fine !!!
As soon as we try to fill the NLB virtual name -> error message with the update.
As workaround, we updated the server information directly in the tblserverinfo sql table. Once done, the NLB with BPC works perfectly.
Do you have an idea about this error message ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Lionel

Hi,
External server name is used only in case you have users who access the BPC outside LAN. In this case the external server name should contain the virtual name which is visible for those users.
Scheduler server is the server used to schedule the BPC jobs (windows jobs are created into Windows scheduled tasks).This parameter should be the name of one application server(not NLB)
Regarding Server Manager, it is true that it is increasing the number at the end of parameter and saving all the values. This was created by design. Normally the last value saved is used(the bigger number),
Hope this can help you,
Mihaela

Permissions Error Installing Graphic Update With Software Update

I tried to install Leopard Graphic Update 1.0 using Software Update and got a permissions error. There was also a message saying the package had been moved to the trash and to use the Finder to install it.
There was no package in the trash so I manually downloaded and installed Leopard Graphic Update 1.0.
I am running 10.5.2 on a 1 GHz iMac G4.
Has any one else seen this problem? Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks.

Ditto for me when installing Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 via Software Update.
Manual download and install worked w/o a hitch.
Curious Note: /Library/Updates/Leopard Graphics Update/Packages/SUGraphicsDrivers200801-1.0.dist had odd permissions in that the admin group had read access but a different admin account had write access. This was the last account logged in prior to my upgrading to Leopard from the DVD, but Software Update has never been run from that account. I gave the admin group write access (from the Get Info window) prior to manually installing the update. I doubt that had anything to do with the manual install working, but it might have something to do with Software Update failing.

HT4623 I am getting a messages saying "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 6.1.3" everytime I try and install the update.

Error message with offer to download the 4.1.B.0.587 update and note: "installation not possible" (because it's already there) cannot partition SD card

Hi - Recently I put the latest update on my LT15i (4.1.B.0.587), after this I rooted the phone, and everything seemed okay. But since then I keep getting an error message with an offer to download the 4.1.B.0.587 update and the note: "installation not possible" (because it's already there). The news line on top shows a red exclamation mark all the time. It seems to me that it is due to this error that I cannot partition my SD card. Does anybody have an idea how to fix that? Thanks much in advance, and happy holidays - nerissa

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

The registry editor should now look something like this: (Click to enlarge)
Right-click on the iTunes.aifc key and click Permissions... to see what is going on. My current permissions for the iTunes.aifc key are shown below: Giving Administrators and/or yourself Full Control should be enough to let the installer make changes. Alternatively you could delete the key and let the iTunes installer recreate it.

I Deleted the mac app store because of error 4 and i cant download it with software update

I Deleted the mac app store because it showed error 4 and I cant download it with software update.

I guess you have no time-machine or carbon copy cloner backup at hand.. then you will go a manual way.
Mac AppStore is included in 10.6.6 first and a updated better version ( the latest ) is in 10.6.7, so I focus on the later :
Use the shareware ( works without paying , nag screen only ) called "pacifist" . Locate the 10.6.7 update package on your harddisk, mount the dmg, go inside and right-click the installer package, it wil offer you top open it with pacifist instead of Apples OS installer.
Inside pacifist you can see the various sub-packages, one item is the Mac App Store, select it and choose "install to default location" from pacifists menu.
This way you bypass the OS' logic that it is already up to date and will find AppStore in your Applications folder.
Note that this scenario is totally unsupported by Apple of course and you do it on your own risk.
The official way if you have messed up the OS and have removed parts of it, would be to wipe and reload OSX plus its updates to be back..
