HT1338 my macbook will not install updates

My computer will check for updates then it makes a list of available updates and even looks like its going to install them but after a few minutes pass it just say that it was unable to update
I have a hp that i use alot so I probably missed some previous updates i dont know but would love to be able to update my safari and itunes for sure
thank you

Joey, greetings; You certainly are correct: With that said, I did download from two sources on the Internet and got this response:
Clearly both times I should have checked if it was OS or Windows. Not having I need for this application, it was a failure to pursue a thorough investigation.
Perhaps though this is one of the problems that melaniefromkaufman is having. I still hope that melaniefrokaufman will provide us with additional information.
Thanks for keeping me honest.
Ciao.

Do you think it is because I have MacKeeper?

Hi Drew,
I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
I even avoid linking to sites that advertise it.
You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

Updater will not install updates from Firefox

Windows XP, click on Help, About Firefox, Check for updates. They download. Then I click on Apply update. A window appears saying "updater.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Then I may choose whether to send the error report.
There has been no update. It will not install.
Why does this happen? The only way I can get updates from Firefox is to go to Mozilla.com and download.
I tried the troubleshooting tips in Firefox Help and nothing worked.

I should have explained that this has been going on for a long time. When I first installed Firefox several years ago their updates installed fine.
Then they no longer would install, starting in July 2007 when they downloaded Firefox 2.0.0.4. After they installed that, Firefox would not even open, and I got an error message. I had to uninstall and reinstall.
I figured out over time that I would have to go to their website and download the updates myself, each time they announced that an update needed to be installed. It would then install fine. And Firefox would open as it should. This has been the case for a long time.
So it does work out doing it this way. It is something of a nuisance, and it would be nice if the updates worked smoothly and automatically, as they used to.
I thought this might be some problem others users have had and would know how to fix it.
Thank you.

HT1199 my mac pro will not install updates or new software such as printers what could be the problem

I have tried to complete updates and install software and for some reason it will not update or install new software such as a printer. What could be the problem

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

Iphoto will not install update from 9.3.2 to 9.4.2

I have a new MacMini. Just ran updates per the App Store. iPhoto '11 will not update from 9.3.2 to 9.4.2. I've JUST gotten this Mac, and I don't have any photos loaded at all. None. I click on "Update" in App Store, and it reports "An error has occured" (LOVE the passive voice...the error just 'occured' - nobody's fault...move along...nothing to see here).
The only thing I haven't tried is deleting iPhoto and reinstalling it. Is that my only/best option?
Thanks!

See this Apple document: Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available..

TS1394 Macbook pro not installing updates

Late 2010 model. Not installing any downloaded applications/updates.
Could anyone know what could be causing this?

You posted in the "Snow Leopard Forum", so I assume that is your correct version of OS X? If so, OS X 10.6.8 is the last version that Apple put out, so there are no further "Updates" for it. If you mean you want an "Upgrade" to 10. 7 "Lion", or 10.8 "Mountain Lion", you have to purchase those from the Mac App Store. They are not Free.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Mac OS X 10.6 will not install updates

I continue to get an error message when installing software updates for Java Update 10 and iTunes telling me the selected updates could not be installed due to an unknown error.

Thank you. By realizing I was able to install the updates individually from the apple website, I discovered that one of the updates apple was trying to install was Airport Utility 6.1, even though I am running Snow Leopard. It apparenly requires 10.7.3 and up. The software update console doesn't seem to recognize this in its search for updates. Thanks again. -ss

Will not install update 10.7.2

Hi,
I purchased the Lion upgrade today and it installed 10.7, I went to check for updates and it said that itunes and the 10.7.2, Neither worked. I manually downloaded Itunes from the site and it updated fine, i try the same thing on the OS update and keep getting unable to install file may have been corrupted during download, So 2 different downloads and i get the same thing. Right now Im running 10.7 Build 11A511 on the late 2008 White Macbook with the required 2 gbs RAM

Use the combo updater:

HT1338 itunes upgrade will not install on my HD

having trouble installing the new iTunes so it works with my phone

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
