I can't install any updates for Leopard.

Hi,
I've just upgraded my G4 1.25Ghz, (2GB RAM) to Leopard 10.5 from the DVD from 10.4.1. It installed ok although it hung at the end of installation on the System Preferences. I had to shut it down and start it up again. It started no problem so I assumed all was ok. I then tried to update. I used Software Updater and it recommended that I download and install 10.5.8. I tried this but it kept hanging when I hit the install button on the updater. In force quit it kept saying the updater was not responding. Upon reading quite a few articles on the subject, i tried to download it directly, I did but it still wouldn't work. I read that maybe I needed earlier updates first do I tried 10.5.6 combo with no luck and then I tried 10.5.1 but it still doesn't work either. I lets me start to install the update but it hangs every time I hit install and says the program is not responding.
Have I not upgraded to Loepard sucessfully, ie do need to uninstall it and re-install it (how) or is something in the install manager that isn't working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I booted from the dvd and it went straight ahead and installed the whole thing again, and as far as i see it overwrote the previous version as I still have the same amount of memory available. The only thing was that it hung on the finder after the restart. I force quit and it worked fine. I went to upgrade and as I had downloaded early versions of 10.5 upgrades I started with 10.5.1 - it loaded fine. I shut down the mac and after a while I started it again and tried to upgrade to 10.5.6 combo that I had previously downloaded. The installer worked fine until it asked me for the administrators user name and password. I typed them in but it keeps saying that they are invalid. They are the correct ones. Also previously when it asked, it only asked for the administrator password and it automatically filled in my account name. I have been looking at other posts with similar problems but nothing solved. I tried software update and it immediately asked for the user name and password as usual and I cannot get any further with it. Should I continue this in a new post or can someone help.
Thanks.

OSX 10.8.5 Can't install any updates for any of my 3rd party software

Hi Guys
Don't know if any of you out there can help me but for some reason I am unable to install any unpdates for ANY of my third party software on my System Drive or any other drive for that matter. I continually get the little yellow triangle on the drive icon at the "destination select" stage of any update installation. Ive never had this problem before and it's only been happending over the last week and i haven't changed any OSX settings. Also im logged in as the Administrator and have the permissions set to read & write to all my drives.
Has anyone experienced this too?????

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

I can't install software Update for iOS 7.1.1. for iPad because I was forgot my password. How I can change my password?

These are user to user forums. Apple does not participate here and does not respond to posts. For the record, since the iPad 2 supports iOS 8 any attempt to update the iPad 2 will result in an update to 8.1. Apple only supports updating to the latest version of the operating system that the device supports.

What means "ipad 3 is discontinued" ? we can't get any updates for ipad 3 in future ???

It means that Apple is no longer producing the iPad 3rd generation....they are no longer making that version. The iPad 4 and the Mini iPad will both be running iOS 6 just like the iPad 3 is running (if you have updated) and there is no reason to believe that the iPad 3 will not be supported with software updates for some time to come.
So yes - you will be able to get software updates for the iPad 3 in the future.

Can I Install Air update for flash CS3 on a cracked Flash CS3 Copy

hi
I'm from jordan I tried to buy Flash CS3 from Adobe and they
said they only sell to US and Canada,
so I had a cracked version (got it from the internet).
could I install the Air update for flash CS3 on it
thanks

1) I do not say that I'm from jordan to make you care or not,
I just want to say why I use cracked copy because I can not buy a
good copy from my country.
2) I do not steal or crack software I'm a multimedia
developer and I had to use flash cs3, and if you want to judge me,
go and judge cracker who put cracked copies on the internet first
(and by the way in my country that you do not care about it there
is no cracker we use cracked copies your country do).
3) This question was for adobe team and not for you.

Installing Software Updates for Leopard 10.5.5

Hello, I am having difficulty installing software updates on my Macbook.
I get updates each week regarding my software. I click to install the updates, the computer restarts and begins to install the update, and then the screen that shows the installation progress seems to stop at a certain point on the installation status bar and remains like that for hours. When I try to refresh the screen or move around my cursor, the status bar remains the same and it never seems like the installation was completed. I end up forcing a shutdown and then restart the computer.
As a result, I am not sure if the software update is ever completed because everytime I try to update my software, the same things happens. Anyone know why this is happening?

See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2383 which implies you should download and install the 10.5.6 update; however, I recommend that you copy the Upgrade folder's contents to another folder, rather than putting it into the trash, restart, and then try Software Update again. Note that the Update folder contains installers for previously downloaded updates, which you might want to retain. Once you update everything, you can move everything except the index.plist back into the folder.

I can not install any driver for any print to my laptop.

I have been trying for months to install a driver for just one printer and we have five or six printers.
My problem is that every time I install a driver it fails and rolls back, everytime. It would just about completely finish installing before rolling back.
My laptop is a Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.
PS: There were three other users before me that was using this laptop. I know all three of them and none of them know much about computer. So I tryed to clean out all the junk out of it.
I got a little more info for however reads this post. The error that I recieve has no number or error code it just says "Fatal error during installation," but it also has in the title bar this "C:\Users\Justin\AppData\Local\Temp\7z1763\Setup\..\Setup\hpzprl01.exe, which seems like it might help.
Hope that helps.

I figure out what my problem was. Here is what I did: I recheck all of my services and startups. If you need help I'll layout steps for you. Just reply that you still need help.

Any help would be appreciated!

First, to the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If this doesn't help then download the updater at support.apple.com/downloads/ and try again.

Can not install this update for kb2667402 windows 7 professional. I tried various fix-it but it did not help Update KB2667402 failed with error 80004005

I'm not sure where to turn now and am soooooooooo frustrated! I have been trying to get security update KB2667402 with error code 80004005 to install for a couple months without any success.
So, I finally turned to microsoft tech support... Case# 1186572463
On Fri. Oct. 26 I was on the phone with a microsoft tech for over 3 hours. The tech that took remote access of my computer said she did not know how to fix my problem and that my case would have to be escalated to a higher level and that I would
receive a call back on Mon. Oct. 29th. However, I never got a return call.
Yesterday - Tues. Oct. 30th I called in again and was on the phone for 4.5 hrs with a microsoft tech and he also took remote access of my computer but was not able to fix the problem. I asked to speak to someone at a higher tech level and was told to call
back into the microsoft helpline.
The 3rd call - Although I had been told during the prior 2 calls that I was still covered under my warrenty I was now told that I needed to pay for the support call. It took a while to get that straighteded out and to give all my information again to
the call center but I finally worked with a 3rd tech for over 2 hrs. but had to terminate the call for a conference call I had with a client. The person I worked with said he would call me back between 7-8pmEST so he could continue helping me but I never
got a return call.
I have already invested over 10 hrs in the last few days regarding this issue and fear that if I call back in I will once again start over completely with no success which is why I am reaching out here. Is there anyone that has the knowledge of how to fix
the problem?

I've been having the same problem and today did some searching and found something that worked. Check that the download hasn't already been installed - look in the Installed Updates listing for an entry. If it exists there, uninstall it, and
then force a Check For Updates and retry the install. This worked for me and I hope it helps.
Good day, Chuck.

You need to update your os to 10.6.8, repair permissions after the installation and restart your computer when done. Then you should be able to install all the other updates from Software Update. If you have a lot which I imagine you do, install 2 at a time. After all the installations are done repair permissions and restart your computer.
