HT5167 Latest OS X updates won't update

When trying to download the latest updates I keep getting: "The update "Mac OSX Update" can't be saved.  An unexpected error occurred."  Have tried many days now & at different times, but never get any of the updates done before this error message shows up.  Any ideas?  Appreciate any words of wisdom!

I had this issue, and what I found, is that even when logged in as an administrator, you will only have read-only acccess to the Library/Updates folder. 
Try adding the admin account in 'Sharing and Permissions', make sure it has Read & Write access, then 'Apply to Enclosed Items'.  Then run the update as normal.

  • I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this?

    As stated I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this? I need it for homework tonight.

    Crowntheme,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still freeze after a few minutes?

  • Latest Revel IOS update crashes and won't install

    I have been using Revel v 2.3.1-548 on iPhone 5 and iPad 3 without any issues. An update was released today (29 June) and this won't install and crashes the app on both devices so I have had to go back to the old version. Anyone else having this problem?

  • Latest airport utility update won't let me rename 5GHz network?

    The latest airport utility update changed the name of my 5GHz network and won't let me change it back, anyone else having this problem?

    You might want to take a look at AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion. It is very similar to the previous version of AirPort Utility. 
    Downloads
    Yes, you can have both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and choose the one that you want to use. I think you may find that while 6.0 is fun to look at, 5.6 provides a lot more functionality.

  • Camera raw won't open my raw files from bridge.  Mac user, camera, Nikon D800, latest camera raw update is installed.  Help!!

    I don't get a photo preview in bridge of my raw files, just the NEF file thing.  Then when I click to open them I get a message that says:  "If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates"   "If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111".  I can't seem to figure out what to do!  Help Please!?

    Usually the problem with a newer Nikon camera is that the NEF files have been transferred or viewed with obsolete Nikon software, like Nikon Transfer for View NX, and those change something in the header of the raw file that makes it unrecognizable to Adobe products.
    For new images, the solution is to either stop using Nikon products to transfer and view your files or update your Nikon products to be as new as your camera.
    There is a utility to fix this particular corruption here:

  • ITunes 10.2.2 won't run, even after reinstalling it and the latest Snow Leopart update... what can I do?

    Hello,
    I'm using a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.7. I've just updated iTunes to the latest version 10.2.2 but it keeps quitting unexpectedly upon opening it. I've tried deleting the Genius information, reinstalling it, as well as even reinstalling the latest Snow Leopard update but nothing seems to work. What can I do?
    Thanks in advance for any help, and let me know if there are any questions.

    sorry i get this error:

    While trying to download the latest Apple Itunes update to my Toshiba laptop I got the following
    message: APSDaemon.exe system error.
    I uninstalled Itunes and tried again, but got the same message.
    Help, please

    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 (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    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.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Bug in Latest Mavericks Security Update???

    I just installed the very latest Mavericks Security Update as instructed. It was about 500+ MB and took 20 or so minutes to upload and then required a restart to complete installation, which was done. After restart you are asked if you wanted to login to iCloud, etc. the MacBook worked just fine. I shut down normally.
    Several hours later upon boot up I first got a "security" warning about only using Apple software. It asks for acknowledgement = ok.
    After rebooting the Apple logo shows as normal and the circular progress wheel spins but it never gets to login screen.
    What is going on Apple???
    Any suggestion fellow Mac users????

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 10
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 11
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 12
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Itunes SPOD after latest OS-X Update

    I recently installed the latest OS-X updates, and now when I launch iTunes, I get nothing but SPOD and have to kill the iTunes process. I have directly downloaded the latest iTunes application and reinstalled it, still SPOD on launch. I launched iTunes in Safe Mode, still SPOD. I moved the preferences file, still SPOD. I am totally out of ideas here. What else can I do or try to get iTunes to work?

    I should add that there are no more pending OS-X updates; I just checked again to be certain.
    Furthermore, potentially unrelated, my Internet connection was down for a few days, but has been restored for over 24 hours now. I have seen some iTunes weirdness on forums in relation to that, although I don't suspect that is my issue.
    My issue is a lot like the "Upgrade to 10.6.5 + iTunes 10.1 = iTunes stupor" thread in that my iTunes won't see any of my devices either, but he doesn't seem to have the same pinwheel issue. My iTunes is chewing up 22% of the CPU just sitting there until I kill the process from command line.

  • Macbook Pro HD died/not recognized after latest Java & airport update..

    Hi,
    After the latest Java & airport updates, my mbp won't startup.
    The only thing i see after the chime is the questionmark folder.
    Holding the option button during restart to choose the bootdisk doesn't show the harddisk.
    I've resetted pram & smc and that also doesn't fix it.
    The mbp was connected to the charger and the battery almost full.
    Hope somebody can help me, have been searching but didn't found no answers.
    Did found somebody on the forum with a similair/the same problem

    [quote]I'm having an even worse problem. After the update, my Macbook Pro won't start up at all. It makes the start up tones, but the screen stays black.
    Anyone else having this problem?[quote]
    have replied to him.. let's see if/hope he got a fix
    thanks in advance

    Antonio, I'm going to try the instal disk tomorrow(it's almost 02:00 over here, and i'm at my girls house). If the harddisk is recognized, i will try the hardware check and see what's wrong.
    Firewire mode is still working, so maybe with a little luck i can access it from my PowerMac. Did this before on my old Powerbook 12inch, when it gave up working properly.
    Can you believe this.. Because i needed all the space of my external hd, i copied all my music to my mbp's hd tonight.. didn't expect this to happen.
    Before i went to my girls house i was thinking about putting it all back, but couldn't wait..
    I don't think apple is going to replace my hd on warranty, it's more than 2 years old.
    My mbp has served well and i'm waiting for the arrendale 15 mbp's, when they arrive i'll order one and will swap the harddisk for a ssd. Then i can put the hd in my santa rosa mbp.
    But if you think i can try asking apple for a replacement harddisk, i will try..

  • Safar crashes on close aftr latest OS X update (Intel)

    I downloaded and installed the latest OS X update (10.4.11) yesterday and since then, Safari when I close either the browser or a Tab, tells me that there is a problem and I have three choices to Close, Reopen or Report.
    I have seen similar issues raised on this forum, but nobody has associated it to an OS X update. Is this just coincidence or is there a problem?

    Actually, after some more digging, this does appear to be related to older versions of plugins not meshing well with the new Safari. I had the "Visual Search" plugin installed and since I never used it anyway, I just blew away the file in /Library/Input Managers/SIMBL. Now everything appears to be working as it did before the update. That is to say that I can close an open Safari window and it doesn't crash (I can also close multiple tabs within a window sans crashing).
    This approach probably won't work for everyone, and indeed shouldn't be necessary in the first place. I would suggest either updating any plugins to their latest version, or uninstalling them to see if that makes a difference.

  • Latest snow leopard update taking forever

    Seems like the latest snow leopard update is stuck on a blue screen with the turning wheel thing. Is it possible to restart the upgrade without messing up my MacBook?

    It might get messy but eventually you won't have a choice. Try a hard restart into Safe Mode:
    Be sure the computer is shut down by using the hard Power button.
    Press the power button again after one minute.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Then use your machine's original software installation disk to do a Repair Permissions.
    Restart your machine after removing the disk and go to the Apple Store/Support/View All Support Downloads. Select the 10.6.5 Combo Updater and use that to attempt another download/install.
    Repair permissions again using Disk Utility.
    Perform a backup after checking all is working well.

  • Latest flash player update 11.2.202.229 causing player for forcefully buffer full video content.

    Hi,
    Been using the flash player for years on various websites, and over the past few days hundreds of videos have stopped working - seemingly related to computers / browsers with the latest flash player update.
    Video just won't play at all - instead of playing, it starts to buffer the whole video file, but mostly never manages to complete and play.
    Am I alone here - or is this a wider issue?
    Here is just one example video that will not play with the latest version - http://www.vintra.co.uk/Client-Script-Libraries/Thurleigh_Investment_Management_Q1_Preview _1.htm
    Regards
    Stewart

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks very much for the fast response. I have tried installing the 11.3 beta update onto a local PC, and this does seem to resolve the issue.
    And now the inevitable question...
    When is 11.3 likely to get rolled out?
    No doubt this is a tricky question for you to answer - but roughly, is this days/weeks/months away. I just could do with a vague idea, as we can cope with it for a day or two, but otherwise I'm going to need to come up with an alternative. My whole business is based around online video in one form or another - and everyone with the latest update can no longer use it - hence big problem for us.
    Many Thanks

  • Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

    I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

    Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.
