Installed 10.6.8 Server Combo Update, but can't update Server Tools to 10.6.8?

Hello all,
I installed the 10.6.8 combo update for my xserve earlier today. I also need to update the server tools to 10.6.8 since I am trying to create a new NetInstall image from a .dmg that is running 10.6.8.
The server tools update has always shown up in the past in Software Update, but I didn't see it this time around so I went and found what looks like the download link for it: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1403.
Anyway, I get it downloaded and go to install it, and it says my Server HD does not have Mac OS X installed, and it will not install the update.
I have the 10.6.8 Server Tools installed on my imagebuilder, but it isn't setup with the right workflow and it would be a hassle to get that going.
Has anyone else had any problems getting the 10.6.8 server tools installed on their xserve?

@m.mills: I'd be interested to see what your workflow looks like for your image using the 10.6.7 SIU on 10.6.8 Server? I have been struggling trying to get NetInstall or NetRestore to work using this tool. For NetRestore, it tries to install on the MBP, but fails after a minute or two with this error:
Unable to set '10.6' as boot disk: The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk."
I am using the 10.6 retail DVD as source. I have a very basic workflow:
* source DVD 10.6
* Enable Automated Intall; install to volume name: 10.6, erase before installing
* Apply System Configuration Settings - (apply computer name and local hosts setting)
* Add 10.6.8 combo pkg
* Create image
I also have a machine running 10.7 Server and have successfully created a 10.7.2 image, but 10.6.8 has been giving me fits. It would be nice if I could create a 10.6.8 image on the 10.7 server. Is it possible to do this?
Any Help is appreciated.
thx

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

ITunes store won't open without Safari update, but can't update for 10.5.5

I recently updated to iTunes 10, but now I can't access the iTunes store because it's stating that I need to update Safari to 4.0.3 or later. When I went to update Safari it wouldn't allow me to complete the download because I apparently need a newer Operating System. Is there anyway I can update Safari without having to upgrade my OS?

you could try if downloading and running the [_*Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update*|http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate] helps. repair permissions before and after.
next, run software update from the  menu and install any updates offered.

iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.

Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2

I am receiving an error message "Error: 150:30" after having my computer serviced.

I tried to download a Licensing update, but can't get that to open.????
My machine had originally been a clone of another Mac. Not it looks like a brand new computer.
Possibly there is something in system preferences to change? I turned off Firewall and allow downloads from all parties.
Thank You for you help!

150:30 means the licensing failed. Photoshop can't be moved like other programs from another drive or from backup.
I would suggest a reinstall to fix it. Anytime you move Photoshop from from drive to another, it breaks licensing. A install is the quickest way. to fix it.
When you are done with the install, apply all CS4 updates. Product updates

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update. You must update using iTunes on your computer.
Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current. Plug your iPhone into iTunes. Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes. That should od it for you.

My Mac PRO (serial number <edited by host>) has installed OS X Lion 10.7.5. Can I update it to OS Mountain Lion to work Airplay with apple TV?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The serial number doesn't tell us anything. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and tell us the first two lines of the window, where you should see MacBook Pro and a line below, which indicates the model you have:
That's what I see on my Mac. AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so if you see Early 2011 MacBook Pro or newer in that line, you can use AirPlay Mirroring. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If you want to upgrade, make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Then, open the Mac App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar.
If you don't want to upgrade, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot
