HT5730 Lion update 10.8.4 will not install

I have been trying to install Lion update 10.8.4 for several months. It goes through the process and restarts my computer (Macbook Pro) but when everything is up and running again the App Store updates still shows this update. I have checked the "about" sections on the programs it should be updating and it has not updated. What is going on?

Give this a try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).

Question: i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.

PS CS6 update 13.0.5 will not install

PS CS6 update 13.0.5 will not install. Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7. What is the problem. please?

Are you on a Mac and have a perpetual license (non-subscription) to CS6? Otherwise the update is not applicable.
If you are indeed on a Mac and do have a perpetual license (non-subscription) to CS6, there are two things to watch out for:
1.— Some necessary file(s) may have been deleted. If that is the case, using the Adobe Uninstaller go ahead and uninstall Photoshop, then run the CS Cleaner Tool (downloadable from Adobe) and Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility.
2.— Make sure you don't have an expired trial version installed on your disk. If you do, apply the steps in #1 to said trial install.
Good luck.

Update 10.6.3 will not install on Windows 7 HP x64

I've tried five times to install the most recent update to my iTunes, new version 10.6.3, and it will not install. Does anyone have a solution to this or maybe I better ask if anyone else has had this problem. I run Win7 HP x64 with a Core i7, 2.5GHz, 12GB RAM, 2TB HDD.

What error message are you seeing when you run into the installation problem?

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,

Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

HT5730 Update 10.8.4 will not install correctly

Anyone else experiencing same issue? Installs - restart - load up and same update present.

What version are you trying to update to? Your profile says you're running 10.8 4 and that's the latest version. Why do you think you need to update again?
What are you updating from: the App Store or with this: OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo). If you haven't tried the combo updater download it and give it a try.
If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

OSX Lion & Brother Scanner DSmobile 600 will not install driver

OSX Lion 10.7.2
Hardware: Brother DSmobile 600 (USB)
Software Driver: DSmobile600_Mac_1_2_4.dmg (OSX 10.6-10.7)
Scanner driver does not install - Scanner does not work
Procedure
Launch the Brother installer - goes through install procedure - forces a required restart
looked in BotherScanner folder - nothing there
Apparently the installer is not actually installing anything except the folder
Looked at the installer content - cannot see anything to install
Do not have the driver form the old OSX
The Brother DSmobile USB scanner did work in OSX6
Any solutions?

I discovered the asnwer to my own question for the benifit of anyone else.
Turn off all anti-virus software!
If you disable any installed security virus /network software etc., download the latest brother DS600 scanner dirver. the Brother scanning driver will install.
however you may have to run any repair software you have afterwards. e.g. Tech Tool Pro 6 and Cocktail.
The Brother DS600 scannr driver install is kind of rough.
The Brother DS600 Mobile scanner does work in Lion 10.7.2
In addition, the Brother DS600 mobile scanner driver installs in WIN 7. Same scenario turn off all anti-virus software before install. works

Extension manager update 7.3.2 will not install

Hello,
I have just installed Adobe CC on my laptop. Next to that I have installed Extension manager CC so I can install extension for Photoshop 2014 CC. All that went very well. Extension manager has te version number 7.0.0.347. This version generates an error when trying to instal extensions wich can be corrected by installing the latest updates for Extension manager. I have downloaded the update 7.3.2. but it does not install en generates a message saying: Contact youre system administrator. Installing updates is surpressed on this system.
Anyone know where tot download the updates for Extension manager CC that will work?

hello John, thank you for your answer. I am using an admin account though. I even ran the update with administrive priviliges. I also wonder why the app doesn't install the update itself. It's crearly an older version wich now says that it's up to date!?

Latest iTunes update Apple Mobile device will not install

Having a lot issues with trying to get AMDS to install after installing the iItune update, as such unless this can be installed itunes will not recognise my iphone.
This problem all started when I installed the latest update, everthing installed except apple mobile device, error message was " service apple mobile device failed to start verify that you have sufficent privileges to start system services. Have tried nurmerous uninstalls and reinstalls still no luck. Tried the advice on restarting according to apple support but the problem is that AMDS is no where to be seen in the "services" to try and restart it. Tried individual install using itunessetup.exe through Winrar (applemobiledevice.msi) still no luck, the installer goes throught intially but then it "rolls back" and states an error has occured and it can't install it.
Running out of idea's and from looking at the threads there seems to be alot of people with the same problem, but no fixes as yet, is there anyone out there that can sort this issue, as it would be much appreciated.

I am Having Exactly the problems running win 7 I have installed / uninstalled rebooted clead reg the lot 5 times as ****. I have wasted many hours on this.

Any ideas?

Hi Nini,
This is a file you need to create. No special file just needs to be there for logging to be more detailed. Also, since HTML5 pack was limited to few users and all of them are subscribed to that forum, they should have already seen the information on it. Anyways, its better to diagnose the problem before suggesting a cure. I have seen multiple times that other users will not give complete/correct information as they might not necessarily remember everything. So, I prefer to see the logs as they never give the wrong information. Just my way of looking at things, not necessarily the best way for everyone but works the best for me.

New Update 3.6.17 will not install

I have tried installing this new update numerous times without success.
It give me a error messege that says firefox is running somewhere else.
this is the messege copy and pasted (The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again.)
I have closed all browsers, even ctrl, alt, del, to make sure firefox related processes were not running.
I have also attempted to restart my computer numerous times.
Now everytime I run FF it gives me the update install permission.
If i click yes it goes through the same processs, of saying I already have ff open, and can not install.

Update 3.1.2 will not install on imac

I installed aperture from a disc originally not app store. It's not available via software updates and when I attempt to install the manually downloaded version, it gives me an error saying that I need to have aperture 3.0.2 at a minimum to install the update. I have always updated aperture immediately so obviously thats not the issue. It's almost as if the OS does not think I have it installed. Any help would be much appreciated.

The first thing to confirm is that you have not renamed the program and that it is installed in your "Applications" folder. You must have "~/Applications/Aperture" in order to install an update.
Kirby,
Did you mean to put the tilde in the path? That would indicate the users Application folder, not the system one. For updates and such to work I believe Aperture needs to be in the system application folder, no?

IMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2 will not install

Configuration is iMac 7,1 ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphic card and Mac OS X 10.6.1 installed. A subsequent download of iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2, and an installation attempt resulted in message that the firmware update was not needed on my computer. In another forum, I read that someone else with the same HW configuration and OS level also could not install this firmware. Is this firmware somehow included with Mac OS X 10.6.1 or does the firmware installer have a bug?

Ah! The all-important detail!
Then, I have no idea why you can't install it. I suggest downloading a clean copy manually and trying again. If you get the same issue, try a safe mode boot and installing there. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

Lion update 10.7.1 will not load on MBA

I have a MBA with 10.7 build 11a494a and I cannot load the 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 updates? Any thoughts?

Then you need an external or remote DVD drive.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but it sounds like you really don't know much about software installation in Mac OS. Your "friend" who gave you this bootlegged software, him/her I'll give a hard time. I don't think this person did you any favors. Perhaps you should ask them to help you clean up the mess they made on your system.
