Installing combined update for 10.4.11 from an iBook running 10.4.2

My friend's iBook was having trouble running iTunes (stuttered play); I checked to see what version she had and found she was running 7.1 under 10.4.2. I launched Software Update (which was set to search for updates monthly, but hasn't been) and set it to update four or five things--iTunes, Java, Quicktime, and the combined update for 10.4.11. Everything seemed to download and install fine, until the last one, the combined update. There was a red exclamation mark next to it in the Sofwware Update window and an error message popped up, saying there had been an error and it had been unable to install the update, and that the package was in the trash, where we should reopen it using the Finder. We did this; the Installer app launched and immediately closed (with the regular "application has quit unexpectedly" message). Attempts to launch other applications likewise fail. An attempt to download the combined update from the apple webpage was successful, but when we tried to mount the disk image, a "warning message" popped up, saying the disk image failed to mount due to a "broken pipe". The computer now hangs on restart and won't boot up. Any help restoring and/or updating would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Boot from the Original Install cD/DVD, look in the Menubar for Utilities>Disk Utility, use that to Verify/Repair the HD, then use it to Repair Permissions.
If you boot to the HD, then use Disk Utility from the HD to Repair Permissions then reboot again.

  • HT1222 Every time I try to install an update for iTunes 11.0.2, I get an error message 103.  Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix this?

    I did it the .dmg way alone and has problems with itunes crashing. This is a better way to ensure that there is not anything left behind to cause issues.
    You need to backup your computer then uninstall I-tunes and reinstall itunes.
    Delete iTunes
    Deleting iTunes is not recommended unless you know what you’re doing.
    Launch Terminal from the UTILITIES within Applications
    Type the following commands:
    cd /Applications/
    This brings you into the Applications directory, the next command deletes iTunes itself:
    sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
    Enter the Administrator password to confirm
    There is no warning or confirmation other than entering the admin password, iTunes will immediately be deleted, effectively uninstalling it from the Mac.
    Deleting the iTunes application will NOT delete the ITUNES or music, and any purchases bought through iTunes will still remain tied to the Apple ID used to originally buy them.
    You can download the newest version from Apple, and running their installer will bring iTunes back to life on your computer.

  • Need to install an update for Adobe Flash Player, Help?

    How do I install an update for an Adobe Flash Player on my Mac Mini?

    Installing the Flash Update on your Mac
    This is what I had to do to install it; I'm using OS X 10.9 Mavericks; you may get different results if you're still using Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion (earlier OSs)
    I encourage you to do backup your system, download and install the Free, most current operating system for Macs, Mavericks OS X 9.
    At some point, Adobe Flash will offer you the opportunity to update itself. It's a good idea, to do so.
    Step 1 will be to download the Update .dmg file, which installs the update.
    It will probably be in your Downloads folder; double click on it.
    When the folder presents itself in a new Finder window, double-click on it.
    At some point in the Install, it will pop up a notice to Shut Down Safari/Opera/Chrome/Firefox (all Browsers).  That's easy.
    It will also likely insist that you shut down a Dashboard Client.  Only the Dashboard Client won't show when you try Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
    Here's what I had to do, to make it work; there may be a more efficient way, but I didn't find it.
    Here's what worked for me, and I'm going to spell it all out the Dummy way, 'cause that's how I need things done for me! : )
    Click on an empty space on the Desktop to activate Finder. In the Finder Menu (top) click on the GO tab (top menu) and scroll down to Utilities. Click on the Activity Monitor. In the CPU tab (any of them will work), Click onDock and, holding the Command button (Splat) next to the Space Bar, click on all incidents of Dashboard Client.  They're easy to find-- they all have a little grey folder icon to the left of them.
    Click on VIEW in the top menu, scroll down to Select Processes, and click on that. The window will simplify and isolate, showing only the selected processes that are keeping you from installing the Flash update.
    Then click on the big red stop sign at the top (Quit Process).... (This didn't work for me. No 'Stop' sign.)
    Alternately, once you've 'collected' the appropriate files, click on and select each one individually, go up to View in the top menu, scroll down to Quit Process. After a brief pause, it will quit. Quit all of the processes selected.
    Make sure everything else is closed and then try to install the Flash Player again. It should work! (Fingers crossed!)
    'Always a good idea to Reboot, afterwards, and you should be good to go.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

    Actually it sometimes gets a little further, the display will dim and the pointer will appear and then whoop it will turn off. if i do a verbose start up, it will finish all the steps, the white screen will appear and dim and then it will turn off.
