HT1338 Why every time I get an Apple software update for my MacBook Pro click on it but at never opens up it always error

Why when I get a software update for my MacBook Pro i click on it for some reason it never connects to the server I can never get my software update is anyone else having this problem? if so what do I do? i have the 2007 macbook pro Mountain lion 10.8.2

Start up from that Mac OS X 10.4 disc you have.  Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down.  On the first Installer screen, from the menu bar, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, select your startup volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab.  Run Verify Disk.  If it reports a problem, that may be the reason for your long-term difficulties. You hard drive volume has data corruption. 
You can try Repair Disk in Disk Utility.  However, it would be a very good idea to have a backup of the data on that disk, in case the attempt to repair makes the problem worse.

  • I-Tunes 7.4.2 with Apple Software Update for Windows

    When I upgraded to I-Tunes 7.4.2, I was also offered an Apple Softward Update for Windows. This failed to install. The error message said something about part of it not being able to run or something. Is this a Vista thing? I still have Windows XP and don't plan to change. Will I have problems with newer versions of I-Tunes? How can I get this Apple Software Update for Windows to work - or do I have to?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies, but what I am hoping for is a solution.
    Even though I asked, you never said if you have an ASU 2.0.0.21 ... so this solution runs the risk of being irrelevant to your situation. (It applies to the issue of ASU 2.0.0.21 on an XP PC returning an "invalid signature" message when trying to download an ASU 2.1.0.101.)
    If that's what you've got here, then usually a software installer bundle from Apple which contains a higher version of ASU than the 2.0.0.21 will install on the PC in question.
    (Avoid using the BonJour for Windows 1.0.4 standalone installer just at the moment, as a precaution. Last time I checked, about 20 minutes ago, that still contained an ASU 2.0.0.21, and that won't get you any further forward than you currently are ... assuming that you've currently got an ASU 2.0.0.21 in place.)
    So download and install another Apple installer bundle. Here's a link through to the QuickTime Standalone installer, although the Safari for Windows or iTunes installer would also work:
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    That should, as part of the install, update your ASU to version 2.1.0.101. To check on that, launch ASU ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"), go "Help > About Apple Software Update" and check the version number. If you're now at ASU 2.1.0.101, you're past the problem with ASU 2.0.0.21 returning an 'Invalid signature" message when trying to install an ASU 2.1.0.101 (assuming that's the particular problem you were actually experiencing).
    You can then uninstall QuickTime for Windows (or Safari for Windows, or iTunes and QuickTime and Apple Mobile Device Support, depending on what installer you used to update your ASU version) through your Add/Remove programs control panel.

  • HT1222 Every time I try to install an update for iTunes 11.0.2, I get an error message 103.  Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix this?

    Every time I try to install an update for iTunes 11.0.2, I get an error message 103.  Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix this?

    I did it the .dmg way alone and has problems with itunes crashing. This is a better way to ensure that there is not anything left behind to cause issues.
    You need to backup your computer then uninstall I-tunes and reinstall itunes.
    Delete iTunes
    Deleting iTunes is not recommended unless you know what you’re doing.
    Launch Terminal from the UTILITIES within Applications
    Type the following commands:
    cd /Applications/
    This brings you into the Applications directory, the next command deletes iTunes itself:
    sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
    Enter the Administrator password to confirm
    There is no warning or confirmation other than entering the admin password, iTunes will immediately be deleted, effectively uninstalling it from the Mac.
    Deleting the iTunes application will NOT delete the ITUNES or music, and any purchases bought through iTunes will still remain tied to the Apple ID used to originally buy them.
    You can download the newest version from Apple, and running their installer will bring iTunes back to life on your computer.

  • Why am I constantly receiving an error message EVERY time I try to download an update for my device?

    I am unaware if this is caused by iTunes or if it's my internet connection or if it's just my computer.  Every time I try to download an update for my device (iPhone 4, iPod 3rd Gen) it returns with an error message of 3259. This error message states that my connection timed out. This causes me to browse the internet for the same update and download it with my web browser. It is a hastle. In iTunes, the entire update will download but when it comes to the "processing file" portion my connection just times out.
    Please, if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this issue I would really appreciate it

    I'm having the same problems! It might be because there are so many downloaders... Anyway try turning off al antivirus and stuff like that. If this helps tell me please.

    Every time I try to download something(song or app) it shows it's downloading but it never does. What can I do?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

    Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

    Sean and Andy -
    I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
    So here's what does NOT work for me... 
         (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
         (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
         (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
         (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
         (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
         (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'--  routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
         (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
         (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID! 
    So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ???  As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
    Any advice would be appreciated!  TIA.
    Ed

  • How do I get Windows "Apple Software Update" tool point to my local server?

    I have a Mac OS X Server, with Apple Software Update server running.
    I also have Windows machines, with Safari, iTunes, and Apple Software Update, of course.
    I would like the Windows version of Apple Software Update to point to my local ASU server. There isn't a preference for that, but there should be a registry entry, I would think.
    Is this possible, if so how?
    Thanks,
    -Dan.

    I can't accept this. According to Apple (http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/L355781BSoftwrUdtTB.pdf),
    "Mac OS X Server also supports hosting Apple updates for software running in Boot Camp, such as iTunes and QuickTime for Windows."
    I have already figured out that you can set a registry value that will make Apple Software Update for Windows talk to a different server to find updates, I just don't know how to get Software Update Server to cache the updates for Windows software.

  • Should I let it install "Apple software update for windows 2.0.2"?

    Thanks, in advance... it may just be a ditz of a question.
    Running Vista and when in Mac occasionally run Parallels, Apple Software Update window popped and this update appeared:
    Apple software update for windows 2.0.2 with the description
    "This update includes general fixes and renews the root certificate that authenticates software delivered via Apple Software Update."
    I figure it was logical enough considering the obvious link but the description just looked to vague. So, I put it off... today searching the internet, Apple Help and so on for this "update" cannot find it anywhere. I have already had problems with file corruption so "fixing root certificates" unnecessarily is not ideal.
    Anyone else know one way or another or just tell it to go away for good?
    Thank you,
    Kylie

    I never actually use Software Update excep to tell me there is something (if I hadn't read about it). I go to the standalone downloads. There was one for QuickTime for Windows that you DO want.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    It sounds like Software Update for Windows, and that probably does deserve installing (I use x64 and don't really trust support yet or installers from Apple for now) so I have Apple software update in vista turned off.
    I do have the 9-17-2007 2.0.2 "Apple Software Update for Windows" installed.
    Why I don't trust Apple: alerts and UAC's are always hidden behind the installer window in front. I just tried to close the windows or dialogue box for Apple Software Update Preferences, it asked for UAC and went black, but I can't even close the box even though all I did was hit "Okay" button. So its 'hung' now.
    Apple needs to improve the installer for Vista - a lot. I like not having to type a password every time, that has gotten old after 6 yrs.

  • Forum : Apple Software Update for Windows

    Anyway we could get a notification at the top of the Forum : Apple Software Update for Windows
    Something in red with big letters similar to at the top of the discussion forum page as it seems that the majority of the posts in there have nothing to do with the Software Update for Windows software.
    Just to let people know that the forum is for something in particular not a place to post random queries.
    I was clicking through trying to find some info (that i couldn't think of the right words for so didn't search) and the amount of unrelated stuff in there is surprising.
    Anyway thought i'd bring it to peoples and hopefully the hosts attention, and figured something at the top to advise people of the actual use of that forum might help cut down on the dross.

    The Hosts might be willing to give it a try, but I'd wager a cookie that it wouldn't help. There are huge red letters above this forum telling people not to post technical questions here, but people do it all the time anyway. It can be annoying, I know, but people often just seem to get focused on what it is they're after and just don't notice they're in the wrong place, or they're confused and/or frustrated and post in the first place they can find. There's not much that can be done other than to gently redirect them to a more appropriate place to get assistance (and if you're Level 2 or above, you can notify on the post and ask that it be moved to the correct forum).
    Regards.
