I am unable to install the latest os x upgrade

When I try to install os x, latest upgrade a window appears telling me I must restart to complete the installation. When I do that and the computer comes back on, I still have the latest upgrade of os x to download. One time it began downloading and stopped. This has been happening since I received the first notice of the availability of the upgrade. What must I do to download and install this latest upgrade which is OS X 10.8.3 (I think)
Thank You,
Eileen Plunkett

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 OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo).

  • Unable to install the latest version of Adobe Muse via Adobe Application Manager

    I´m a user of Creative Suite applications  and all of them have been updated successfully with the exception of the latest version of Adobe Muse.
    I´m unable to install it. I get error DW 050
    I´m using Windows 7 64 bit.
    All previous versions of Adobe Muse have been installed OK.
    Following a forum discussion I could read, I uninstalled the previous version, but the installation fails again.
    Does any body know how to solve this issue?

    Dear Sachin:
    Thank you for your help, however I have to get back to you to inform that after  downloading the new package based on the link that you´ve provided, I´m  still unable to execute the application.  I get the message: “block by the administrator”  and also another message: “the editor of this program is unknown and unsafe”. Please note that all other programs from Adobe´s Creative Cloud have been downloaded and installed with success. All Adobe Creative programs have been installed on my computer several months ago and all are working fine so far.  This morning I installed an update for Photoshop without  any problem. It seems that the problem persists only with Muse. I have to highlight that I´m the administrator of my PC and therefore all applications are currently being executed as administrator. I have never had the intention to block any program, including obviously Adobe´s Creative Suite programs.
    Could you please let me know how to splve this problem?
    Michael.

  • I am unable to install the latest version of iTunes on window xp?

    I am unable to install the latest version of iTunes on window xp. I get "The application has failede to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".

    This may be all we know, but the new discussions keep coming in, so I repaet my post of this evening:
    With all the discussion about problems with iTunes 11 for Windows, there is also now the problem of downloading the 11 install file at all. On 2 diff computers today, I have tried to download installer and it gets to "save file" then when clicked simply disappears. Nice magic trick, but not helpful to a long-time (and mostly happy til now) user of iTunes on Windows. If there are such serious problems with the installation and function of this "new" version, what the hex is Apple doing? A new corrected release? When? why all this mess wirth a program that has always worked? How about some answers Apple?

  • I run an iMac Intel Core2 due with mac OS 10.7.3.  One software package is HMRC Basic Tools and I am unable to install the latest updates.  I open them up enter my password and press enter and they close down.  Apple and HMRC are unable to help..ates

    I run an Imac Intel Core 2 duel with Mac OS 10.7.3.  I run a software package provided by HMRC and called a Basic PAYE Tools.  I am trying to install the latest 2012 update for the new tax year.  I have downloaded this with no problems and I click on the icon to open this.  I am asked for my computer password which I enter.  Then press enter and the update closes down.  I have tried this several times and the same thing happens.  I have the appropiate Adobe packages for this to work.
    Help please as Apple  helpdesk and HMRC helpdesk cannot find out why.  I have even obtained a CD with the updates from HMRC and the same thing happens.

    Thanks, this worked for me, too.
    At first I tried to Quit Virusbarrier x6 but it kept on running. Then I disabled the Real-time Scanner and it all worked fine after that.

  • Unable to install the latest version (11.1.4.62) of Itunes.

    I am trying to install the latest version of Itunes on a windows platform running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3. I have all the latest windows update for my service pack and my computer is normally very stable. I practice safe surfing. I am running Webroot Secrue Anywhere.
    So when the Itunes installation gets to a certain point I get a pop up error message box that says Apple Mobile Services have not been started, yet, when I check that service in windows it is indeed started. When I click IGNORE to ignore the message it comes back to tell me that it can't find MSVCR80.DLL, however, that DLL exists on my system in mutliple locations, and more importantly in the Windwos CAB files.
    Has anybody else experienced this problem?

    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.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    I have try several times to install the latest security update 2007-2009 but during installation a window pop out and read the installer could not validate the contents of the "secupd2007-009" package. Contact the software manufacturers for assistance.
    What is the exact problem that this?

    Hi hwee07
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First quit all App's and stop all other network activities!
    Now open Disk Utility and run repair disk permissions!
    Then try again to download the update from your software updater or from the link below!
    Security Update 2007-009 (10.5.1)
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/securityupdate20070 091051.html
    Let it download then restart when asked, and wait for it to finish without interruption.
    darumaki; Did you have any issues befor the update? Did you repair disk permissions befor downloading the update? Did you stop all other activity's befor updating? Note: the restart will take longer than normal, perhaps you interrupted the update process???

  • Quicktime for Windows -- on Vista -- opens a .mov movie once, then won't open the move and Quicktime won't even open itself.  I've installed the latest version, and upgraded it to Plus as well.

    I am having trouble opening .mov videos with Quicktime on my PC with Vista.  I installed the latest version of Quicktime for Windows (V.7.7), and upgraded it to Pro.  It will open a .mov file once, then after that it will not open any .mov file and in fact, when I try to open the Quicktime player it will not open itself.  If I switch users to Admin, it all works fine, but when I go back to my regular role (where all of my preferences and programs are there for me to use), the same thing happens.  An .mov file will open once, then never again, and the Quicktime player seems to be disabled.
    I've tried different .mov files, so it's not a corrupt file that's the problem.  And, in the past (a couple of Quicktime versions ago, I guess), all of this worked just fine.
    Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

    I have the exact same problem. They play on my Mac under Snow Leopard. Transfer to Vista gets a window with black and white and some other noise. No sound either.

  • I am unable to install the latest update to iTunes, I get constant error messages, even when I attempt to uninstall iTunes completely and start afresh, iTunes is still listed in my program files on my hard drive and the shortcut is still on my desktop!?

    Is there a bug with the latest update to iTunes because I am unable to install it, I get constant error messages if I try to open it after installing

    Hey there Mambo822,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after installing a recent update. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
      iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Unable to install the latest flash player for Firefox on a 64 bit Windows Vista OS

    Each time I attempt to install the following error pops up:
    Note:Flash Player does not support 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista.
    Before today I've never had issues with installing flash updates. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Vista x64 is unsupported and untested, however the installer shouldn't block you as far as I know.  Can you tell me what the file name is that you are trying to install?
    Unless you're using a 64 bit browser, you should be able to install the 32 bit version of Flash Player which you can find here.
