I went to install a software update and it won't load completely
I went to install the new software update and it still hasn't fully loaded after 13 hours
Do Apple not realise that we do not all live in Silicon Valley or central NYC, London or Tokyo, so have to put up with download speeds measured in single digits?!
I get 2 mb download here in the countryside, but this new iMac doesn't like that. It stalls the download anytime a passing sparrow ***** and doesn't restart unless you enter your iTunes ID. So, despite leaving the iMac overnight to download this ridiculously large 5.2 gb OS update, I'm still only 1.2 gb through - 18 hours later.
First Apple product apart from the usual iPad and iPhone. Gorgeous computer but very, very unimpressed with the update system.

I installed new software updates, and now when I try to open up pages it tells me "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem." does anyone know what I can do?
1)Copy this below from --{code} to --{code}
--{code}
set p2l to "" & (path to library folder from user domain)
set the_cache to p2l & "Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts"
tell application "System Events"
set maybe to exists disk item the_cache
if maybe then delete disk item the_cache
end tell
if maybe then
display dialog "I deleted the file :" & return & the_cache
else
display dialog "The file :" & return & the_cache & return & "was unavailable !"
end if
--{code}
2) Than open Applescript Editor in your applications and paste it
3) Than select "Compile"
4) Than select "Run" -
I'm trying to update my iphone, but when I download the software update and then when it is "complete" a message pops up stating that it has been timed-outed and to try again later. This is the 5th time i've tried. And i am getting very annoyed. Can anyone help me?
Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

10.9.4 installed, now Software Update and App Store won't open
Ahoy.
I installed the 10.9.4 update and now Software Update and the App Store won't open. I don't know what other information might be relevant here.Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

Just tried to download and install latest ITunes update and it would not finish update. I aborted the update and then my ITunes will not open. I keep getting and error stating that file MSVCR80.dll not found. I reinstalled my original ITune file but this did not clear this error. Any ideas.
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Did a software update, and safari won't even launch now. Crash crash crash.
This morning, my iMac ran an automatic software update. Now everytime I launch Safari 5.1.2, it immediately crashes.

Could be a third party Safari add on that was compatible with the prior version of Safari that's causing Safari to quit.

And try deleting the Cache.db file.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari

Software update and phone won't switch on
Hi, I just updated my BB Z10, let the phone restart and now it won't get past the BB part of setup, showing 100%. I have tried taking my battery out and it still doesn't start up. Any ideas? Fiona
Hi Princessfee82,
Welcome to the support community!
Was the software update interupted at all? Was it a wireless update?
Could you please try connecting to a power source and try removing and reinserting the battery again? When you do this, is there any change? Do you see any LED light on the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone?
I look forward to your response.

Background: my iphone 3gs was running wonderfully - no issues at all, as normal.
I let the power run down to critical and got the empty battery screen - plugged it in and when it had enuf juice it displayed the cord-to-itunes-of-death-screen...
I had just backed up the previous to icloud so no worries... I just plugged in and thought ok this will just take a second...it completed the restore then said with a glazed amnesic font "Itunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, and has never seen or restored this iphone ever before, since this is a stranger iphone, itunes does not trust it and must call the ipolice to check for contraban in its orifices and cavities, you must restore"... kidding of course... but
OMG at home I did the whole restore process no less than 20 times while optimizing and accounting for different variables each time (restoring on a new system with a fresh OS, trying to restore and a mac, restoring then restarting empty cache, restart unistall itunes then restore restart restore, installing an older version of Itunes and restoring. going back to Vista and restoring), and every single time it would complete the check, the update/check, the ios reinstall, and then whatever else and say "complete"... and then no icon menu would appear for the device in itunes so unplug the phone and replug and get the whole "Itunes must render restore aid" message. SO I went to the genuis bar at my local iBoutique thrice - each time the bewildered but very courteous and knowledgable genuis wanted to keep trying ... since I had been on this treadmill for about two weeks I decided each time to respect my fellow appletonians and not suck up genius time... but I really want my old 3gs back... why - I like that it amazes the youth who occaisonal are puzzled by seeing something apple that they don't recognize and in wonder and amazement at its age they learn that even though its no longer invited to iOS family gatherings that it still can call home and ask why Apple waited so long when it was a kid to give it copy-paste ability like all the other kids, then ask for money for the shrink bill.. ... . . ..Soooooooo.... You obviously need to restore the device
It seems that you have tried several options to restore it. What I would do is leave it plugged it and hold down the Home button AND the Power button together till you see the white apple appears. Then let go of the Power button but continue to hold the home button. You should get the message in iTunes again saying that the iPhone needs to be restored. Hit OK then RESTORE.
Hope this helps!! -
Can I reset the Machine to Factory, but keep software updates and installs?
I have a Loan Mac Mini for Tech Support and Macintosh Evangelism. I loan it out to customers when I'm fixing their Windows Boxes, so they have something to use in the Interim, and to encourage them to Get A Mac.
Is there a way of installing all relevant Software Updates and installing 3rd party Drivers and software, but still allowing my Customers to have the full 'Macintosh Experience' with the Welcome screen, migration tool, et al.
Two ways I can think of doing this is Restoring MacOSX on it, installing the Software Updates and 3rd Party software from a Different Machine, but not all packages allow installation to a Non-Boot Drive.
The other way is to Create an Admin Account, Install all the Software Updates and 3rd Party software, and then remove the Admin Account.
Anyone have any Ideas?Start with a search for AppleSetupDone. Among those threads, you should find how to do what you want.

I just installed the latest software update and now I can't open Mail 4.5. This is a Mini 2,1 using OSX 10.6.8.
Try re-installing the big 10.6.8 Combo...

Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot. -
I'm using a macbook pro with version 10.6.8 installed. Whenever I try to install my software updates, it immediately asks me to restart my computer to finish the installation. After doing so and signing back on to my account, nothing has changed and no updates have been installed. It still says the same 8 items need to be installed, and the same process occurs again. Any idea how I can fix this?
You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?
Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.
