Help! I cannot update to 10.5.2.

Ok, here's my problem.
I tried to update my system to 10.5.2 but failed to do so. I've downloaded the individual updater. But I could not mount the DMG. It just kept saying "codec overrun". Then I skipped the checksum and run the PKG file. But it gave an error message like "The installer could not validate the content of...blah,blah,blah".
And I tried the Software Update too. It did not work either. I've re-downloaded the file more than three times but it just did not work.
This would happen when I tried to install the trial-version of Parallels Desktop too (which has a DMG file with "invalid checksum").
But the installers of MSN messenger, Office 08 and some other programs worked just fine.
I've heard this might be caused by some compatibility problem of the RAM. Yes I've upgrade my macbook with two 2GB Kingston RAM. But I've run the Apple hardware test and it's reported none error.
I've replaced the kingston RAMs by the original ones which shipped along with my macbook, two 512MB. But still, I could neither mount the DMG file or install the PKG of updater.
So what shall I do to fix this problem? Does anybody have any idea?

So a clean install didn't work? Did the checksum of dmg files (for Parallels and others) fail before you tried to upgrade to 10.5.2? It sounds like you have some major issues with your boot volume, either hardware or software. Does your machine run ok with 10.5 or 10.5.1? If it does and you are not getting any checksum, verification or mounting problems with dmgs, you might want to invest in [DiskWarrior|http://www.alsoft.com] and see if it can help.
I think that Software Update says you have installed 10.5.2 because of the package receipt written to Library>Receipts>boms. Did you install the Graphics Update? After your re-formatted and re-installed Leopard, did you repair permissions before trying to upgrade to 10.5.2?
It is very strange about the Command-S thing. This is what I would do at this point...
Do you have an external HD for backing up? If you do, clone your macbook to it using either [CarbonCopyCloner|http://bombich.com] or [SuperDuper!|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html] . Verify that your clone boots up. (option key startup) If the clone works, re-install Leopard from the DVD. When you get to the Language Screen, select the language and continue. Once the installer is loaded, click on the Utilities menu in the Menu Bar and select Disk Utility. In Disk Utility, select your Hard Drive, not the volume name, and click the partition tab and re-partition your drive how you want it (# of partitions and so forth). Next click the Erase tab, click the Security Options button and select Zero Out Data. Once that is done, (it will take a while) quit Disk Utility and proceed with the Leopard install. I think that this process will flag any bad sectors on your HD for non-use. (This could be the root of the problems.)
That is all I can tell you without more information.
Let me know...

Help I cannot update or restore my iphone3gs?

Help I cannot update or restore my iphone3gs?
When I try to update or restore my iphone3gs it say the required resource cannot be found. YES IPHONE3GS IS COMPATIBLE WITH IOS5. I went on the apple website and it came up with this:
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go toSettings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
I have never updated it before or done the pre-release thing. I dont understand how to fix it my iphone version is 4.3.3 (8J2) and modem firmware is 05.16.02.

Help please: cannot update or purchase apps

Greetings,
I occasionally cannot update apps on my iPad - free or not free. I can never purchase new apps, free or not, and sometimes it won't let me update free apps.
I get an error message saying:
UNABLE TO PURCHASE
"APP" could not be purchased at this time.
Please try again later.
This has been happening for a few weeks. I've changed/updated credit card info, refreshed everything, restarted numerous times.
Thanks
Apple iPad 2 (Wi-Fi/CDMA/GPS Verizon) 16
Version 7.0.4 911B554a)

Nope - It thought it might be my slow internet connection in my new apartment, but when I went into work where it's fast, some downloaded, but a few others wouldn't. So now I'm even more confused. Sorry.

ADOBE I NEED HELP! - Cannot Update Suite

Well it has been a fun day! I am having an issue and I originally posted my problem in the Creative Suite - Windows forum and gave it a few days and the one reply I received did not solve my issue. So I decided I would have to contact Adobe Support. I first went to online chat which I prefer and spoke with someone. I was quickly told that they could not solve my issue and I would need to speak to a "product expert" and gave me the Adobe 800 Support Number. I then called and was told there would be a 2 hour wait! The system said it would call me back, which it did. I spoke with a man who said he would transfer me to the correct department. After being on hold for 10 - 20 minutes another man answered and I again explained my problem. He needed to research the issue. After another 10 minute hold I was told that another department handles these issues and I would be transferred again. As I write this I have been on hold going on 90 minutes with no answer. I had to hang up as I have other calls and work that must be taken care of today! Adobe your support is some of the WORST I have ever seen from a company of your size! There have been a few exceptions and I will say that in general the support provided here on the forums is excellent. This is the reason I now turn to this forum. I know that there are several Adobe employees that reply on this forum regularly and hopefully if someone cannot help me solve my issue the Adobe Employees can help me cut the crap and get to someone who can help.
Here is my issue:
I am attempting to check for updates using the Adobe Application Manager on Windows 8 and I get this error:
The update server is not responding. The server might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect.
I have seen this error before on Windows 7 and remembered that I needed to disable the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. I navigated to the correct place but the Miniport Adapter was not there. After a bit of searching across several forums I saw a recommendation to change <logLevel>2</logLevel> to <logLevel>10</logLevel>. I attempted that and again it still did not work. I have also tried disabling my anti-virus protection and disabling Windows Firewall. Neither worked.
I am not sure what else to try or do at this point.
Are there any other recommendations to solve this issue?
Note: I am running Windows 8 Pro using the Creative Cloud Version of CS6 and I check for updates by going Help > Updates via any Adobe program.
PLEASE HELP!

HELP? Cannot Update From iOS 5.0 to 6.0

I have an iPhone 4S with an issue here that is super strange. Last fall I downloaded the iOS 6.0 ipsw file update through iTunes and saved it to my desktop. I am just now trying to update my iPhone which is still running iOS 5.0, and I keep getting this error message "This device isn't eligible for the requested build".
Currently I am running iTunes 11.0.2 (but not sure if that makes a difference). Also I have Googled this error and tried all of that "host" file editing but it didn't help, so I just set the file back to the way it was.
Anyone with tips to remedy this would be greatly appreciated. Please note I have never done any jailbreaking and I really hope I don't have to start.
Thanks!

Can you get a Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone?
I got an Internet connection on my phone, went to SETTINGS --> GENERAL --> SOFTWARE UPDATE and updated my Software wirelessly (no iTunes involved).
When I connected my phone to my Computer again and iTunes popped up, it showed that my iPhone software was up to date. Then I could restore to an old back-up.

Help. Cannot update ADOBE. Will not read incoming file.

I can no longer update ADOBE. which I've used for more than a dozen years.
How can it be done?
This is ridiculous.

Ok, let's clarify a few things....
Updating Adobe Reader should work; do you get any errors when trying to update?
You write that you have Reader 11.0; is that 11.0.0? If so, you should update to 11.0.5 in two steps:
download and run the 11.0.4 installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.04/en_US/AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe
download and run the 11.0.5 patch http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.05/misc/AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp
Now to your PDF files you cannot read. You downloaded the files from the Thunderbird email attachments to your local disk. When you double-click on these saved files, do you still get an error message?
Regarding the $39: Adobe does not provide free support for their free products, but these forums act as a free support channel, mostly by fellow users, and sometimes Adobe staff.

I cannot connect to app store. I tried all the possible ways to fix these error but still nothing happened. I really need help i cannot update my applications. I'm using iphone 5 ios 8.1.2

please i really need help!

I had the same problem on my Mac Pro, iPad, Macbook Pro. Could not load iTunes, App Store or any support community. Called Apple Care and she asked if I had rebooted my router in awhile. I had not. Each of these would load half way and then just stop. She said iTunes and App Store could be stopped as they are different than my Discover or e-Bay accounts, which were fine. So during the 75 min call I pulled the power cord of the Netgear Wi Fi router, let it sit for 2 or 3 min and then replugged the power adapter. In about 4 to 5 min the sites started to load, although not displayed correctly. After quitting and re-starting the apps in question they are working fine again. But this has happened twice now in a 6 hour time period. So give it a try, but also give it a couple of tries.

I cannot update the latest version of iTunes. I seem to get stuck in a loop of pages

Someone please help! Cannot update to 11.1 or higher so cannot sync music off my laptop. Tells me I have to update. I email myself the link and it is just a link back to the help page. Cannot find (on my iPad iTunes page) a help button. What on earth am I doing wrong??

Check for updates on iTune (computer)

I cannot update iTunes. In instructions for updating it says to go to help and then click check for updates. Guess what! No help options within iTunes. I need to be able to syn my iPod touch 5 but I cant without the newest iTunes. I am sick of this crap.

I am EXTREMELY tired of having to deal with this. iTunes has been an issue since I got it and unfortunately whenever I want to update my computer's iTunes account it demands I download a new format (which has continually gotten worse and WORSE over time). I wish things would not be updated so frequently. As soon as I have the new format working decently (ONLY decently, I have never had an apple product that has worked as it is stated it should) another update comes along. And THIS time, I cannot download it. First problem: I open iTunes. It says I need to update for my ipod to work. I think "great. I click ok and it will do it automatically!" Oh boy was I wrong. I don't do anything. I search up how to update things. It says ON THIS SITE: Go to help in the itunes store. THERE. IS. NO. CLEARLY. VISIBLE. HELP. SECTION. I have looked for FAR to long for this to be worth my time.

Okay - let's cut to the chase...
If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...

I cannot update apps on ipod. Help please.

So before, i already posted a question about this and i just figured out that it is my internet conection that has the problem, not the ipod.
It seems that my internet connection or router settings has a problem connecting to my ipod or i don't know... Please help.
Usually, when there is an app update, a number pops up beside the app store icon, right?
And when you open the app store:
WHEN THERE IS AN APP UPDATE - it displays all the apps that needs to be updated
WHEN THERE'S NONE - it displays, ALL APPS ARE UP TO DATE.
My problem is...
When i connect to the internet at school, it shows the updates or the all apps are up to date when i go to the app store updates tab.
recently, i leave the update counter (the one beside the app store icon) until i get home so i can be sure there are apps that needs to be updated.
When i'm home and connect to the internet. Open the app store >updates tab:
WHEN THERE IS AN APP UPDATE - it keeps on loading.
WHEN THERE'S NONE - it keeps on loading.
And when there's an update counter and i connect to the app store at home, it disappears.
Please help.. i cannot update my apps on my ipod. There isn't any problem with my device. I just restored it and i started again from scratch. No pictures, music, just apps.
HELP PLEASE. THANK YOU.

Please help.. Thank you.

HT204053 I cannot update my apps on my iPhone. I have 2 email addresses and I now realize I changed my Apple ID from one email to the other. Now I cannot update on my iPhone because it is associated with the original email address. Help?

I cannot update my apps on my iPhone 3. I think it's because I've discovered I have 2 Apple ID's, the original one for iTunes from 2009, and another one I used more recently. I think I must have changed my Apple ID to the more recent email, but my iPhone does not accept any password for the new ID. I have tried changing back but cannot. I have reset passowrds on both ID's 6 or 7 times, but that does not work either. I read I cannot undo an Apple ID, so I have 2, but they are mixed up. Help?

Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID? Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.

What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

Help! I cannot update to 10.5.2.
