Error timed out: (-1001) during Software Update

Hello All, I am a relatively new mac user, and I am trying to sort out the one major issue I've been having. I received this computer from a publishing company that was decommissioning them, and I do not know much about it. What I do know is that is sat for a long time, unused and not updated. Here are the specs off hand:
PowerBook G4
1 gig of RAM (extra stick of 512 added somewhere along the line)
40GB HDD, roughly 17GB free
Running 10.4.9
My problem is as follows:
When I go to "Software Update" under the Apple icon, it starts to look for updates, but always times out and gives the the error (-1001). It tells me that there is a network problem and that I have no connectivity. I use the Network Diag tool, but it tells me everything is in order. I know everything is in order because I can access the internet, as I am typing this from the machine in question. I manually updated the OS all the way from 10.4.3, in hopes that it would resolve my updating problem, but it has not.
Any input or resolutions would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for your time.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi kalvinr11, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
While error -1001 is often 'server down' I just checked SU and it went thru for me. You might try again w fingers crossed.
How are you connected to the internet, adsl or dial up? Who is your ISP? That info may be helpful when someone more vast, see below, chimes in.

  • Network Error Times Out: -1001

    Hello: I am running an iMac G5 using Mac OS X Version 10.4. When I use my Software Update in my System Preferences to checck for new updates, I find them fine. When I tried to update my OS X, it will start to download, and then half way through the process, i get the error message, "Network Error Timed Out: -1001." It asks me to check my internet connection and then retry. I am using my airport express, and I reset it. I connect just fine to the internet and was able to download several other updates. The only time I have this problem is when I try to download 10.4.7. I researched similar issues, and they were not helpful. Anyone have the same problem and resolvedd it? Please help!!! Thanks.

    Hi, m.
    1. See "Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X."
    2. Trash the com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder.
    FYI: Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
    Good luck!

  • I am getting an error message that my network connection has timed out. while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone found a solution? I was given some advice about turning off my firewall and/or virus protection but am nervous about doing that.

    I get a message that my network connection has timed out while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone else had that problem and if so what solutions have you found? I was told to turn off my firewall and/or virus protection while updating but am nervous about doing that for obvious reasons. I'm also disgusted with Apple not providing free tech support.

  • 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.

    Hi skks
    Almost certainly PC Suite 6.83 rel_14.1 is the problem and it's successor is currently beta testing.
    Sometimes uninstalling Nokia applications - PC Suite, NSU, Nokia connectivity drivers and cleaning out remnants for a clean install is only solution but this is a bit drastic!
    I know some have returned to 6.82 rel_22.0 but if you try to use latest NSU with it, it corrupts it!
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • Keep awake during software updates?

    hello.
    so I'm using ARD, and automator, ical, to schedule a software update on certain machines at certain times. so far I havnt had much luck, I think due to the fact that machines go to sleep during the update. I would prefer not to have to set my stations to stay awake all the time, but instead to stay awake during software updates/ permissions repairs, long enough to complete the task and send the confirmation back to ARD.
    Thanks for any help someone may have/suggestions/etc

    Use ARD to send the Unix command *systemsetup -help*
    This will return a bunch of different commands for you to look at that are related to power and energy saving settings. Choose one that changes the sleep settings. Make sure you send the command as the root user
    You can always read the man files for the pmset command using your Terminal app. Also check out this page too:

  • HT202157 My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?

    My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?

    You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

  • ERROR: Timed out (100000): Interrupted Exception

    Hello !
    I got the error described as _(ERROR: Timed out (100000): Interrupted Exception)_ when starting all services on my virtual machine (RHEL 4). After checking from Metalink, I concluded that the problem is caused by the overload since I have less than 1.5GB of memory allocated to this virtual machine.
    I did all the steps as demanded in Metalink, but still unable to find out what can be done in the step described as below:
    Implement this new timeout value by modifying the AutoConfig template for opmn.xml
    Filename "opmnctl_1013.tmp" located in $FND_TOP/admin/template
    Thanks for your contribution.

    Hello,
    I set the local_listener in the spfile and configured it. As suggested in the forums, I changed the SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE parameters. In order to effect the changes, I then
    recreated the context file because while going through it, I noticed that those default values were unchanged. I recreated the Context file (which is very short compared to the old one and can't run the AutoConfig anew).
    I am going through the note 601470.1 and can't get a headway on this issue. This is the error issued while running the AutoConfig on the Database Tier.
    Using VersionConflictListGenerator.java version 120.3
    All driver files processed.
    No version conflict encountered.
    ===========================================================================
    ERROR: Context Value Management Failed.
    Terminate.

    What is the application release? What is the OS?
    Was this working before? If yes, what changes have been done recently?
    Did you try to run AutoConfig and see if it completes successfully?
