HT1338 i have a imac g5 that hashad the os reinstalled recently and is running 10.3.7 and when i try to serch for updates it says an error has occured while serching for updates.what can i do

Please help me

One who has a G-5 can upgrade to 10.5 Lepoard. This will increase your chances of finding software.
For a browser you can use TenFourFox which is a rewrite of Firefox 10.4 SPECIFICALLY written for PPC Macs.
These sites should give you a shove in the right direction:

  • HT4623 My iPhone 5 is in 7.0.4 and cant update to 7.1 It says "an error has occurred while checking for software update".

    Help. Cant update. Have rebooted. Switch my device off. Still this error occurred. Even tried on different wifi connections., home work, public ones.

    Update it by connecting to iTunes on the computer you sync with. The OTA update is not working for you. I had to update mine via my computer as well. I tried an OTA update twice, but both times failed. This is a fairly robust update, so even using the computer takes awhile to do.

  • Wont update message displays: An error has occured while downloading software .......

    please help!!
     Iam trying to update my playbook 16GB but each time i accept and try to apply the update i get a pop up in middle of screen saying:
    An error has occured while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists.
    now this is driving me insane no matter what i try it doesnt seem to manage to get past this step of the update!!
    Has anybody got ANY tips or advice please!!  

    Without knowing if you have received an update before it's difficult to be sure. The last update was feb 2013 so don't know why you need an update, unless it's a wipe or a repair.
    Lets assume you live in the "western world" then try a friend's house or a free wifi spot to do the update. it's easy for playbook to get upset with router wifi settings.

  • I cant update my software. It downloads updates , then says, 'an error has occurred and updates have not been installed'. I am now behind 6 months on updates. Any idea how to fix this?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update. Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
    If there are runs of runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • "unknown error has occurred" while trying to update apps

    Hi all, hoping someone can help:
    When trying to update apps in the App store, after being prompted to log into the app store, I get the error message "An unknown error has occurred" in red. I've tried restarting (the app and my mac) clearing the cache, and my firewall is not on. I am able to sign in to the the Itunes store, but cannot sign in at all to the App store. Any insights? Thanks!

    Make sure you are signed out of iTunes before signing in to the Mac App Store.
    And try deleting App Store pref file..
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac and try the App Store.

  • Acrobat is not letting me combine files anymore. It says an error has occured while converting. Why

    When I try to combine my files, acrobat starts to get the files ready and then it shows that it has failed because of some error occurring. I even tried to combine files I have combined before and the same has happened to them, so I know that it is a problem with acrobat and not my files. How can I rectify this.

    Hi daicheese,
    Are you trying to combine files in Adobe PDF Pack (either online or via Reader) or in the Acrobat desktop application?
    If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates and make sure you're using the most recent version.
    If you're using PDF Pack, please clear the browser cache and try again, or try converting using a different browser. Also make sure there are no firewall or proxy settings that are limiting your access to the Internet.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be...

    When trying to complete the tutorial for indesign I get the following error when trying to add an article to my folio:
    "An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found."
    I am able to create the folio then I click into articles. My document "WiFi_v.indd" is open when clicking add article, but I keep getting this error message.
    I am using the following versions of the software (Should be the latest).
    - Folio Builder (Downloaded version Version 1.1.8.0)
    reported version:
    11.4.3.20111129_m672305 7.5.5.17
    Adobe In Design 7.5.2 CS 5.5
    Also tried reinstalling the plugins (uninstall + install)

    If you're on Mac OS with the OS in another language than english the "User" folder might contain a non english character and causing problems.
    I e in Sweden the Mac OS user-folder is called "Användare". When attempting uploading articles from a file locaded anywere this "Användare" is in the file path the Folio producer says Error finding InDesign layout, due to -what i think is-the "ä" in Användare. If you still want to work local you can place the InDesign files directly into the Macintosh HD. In this case the User folder is not used.

  • "an error has occurred while uploading one of your files "

    Using iLife '06, I've completed a book in iPhoto. I'm trying to buy it -- it goes through the assembling process and right before it's finished it says:
    "an error has occurred while uploading one of your files"
    But no other explanation is given. Same thing over and over and it always happens right beofre it finishes.
    Any ideas what's causing this?

    I can't tell you whats wrong but all i do is reboot iphoto, or worst case, restart the mac. and the next time it goes through like a whiz. I placed orders for 24 separate books this week and i have had everything imaginable go wrong but almost everything worked after restaring iphoto.....corrupt file, cannot authenticate user, cannot get credit card approval, problem with file transfer. Don't bother to use the RETRY button. email support was courteous and within 48 hours for other matters not solved by restarting.

    Thanks LN.
    I tried.  It would not download.  A drop down notice said an error had occurred and to return to the purchase page; which I have done on numerous occasions.  (What I am to do on the purchase page I am not sure, other than to click on purchases and see that the same iPhoto download is available.  By the way, this was not purchased.  It just showed up with two other items free items, which did download nicely.)
