Is there a way to 'manually' download software updates?

Hi guys
I've just reinstalled OSX on my iMac due to some issues and have found that I can't install Aperture because it requires 10.6.2 and the OS I have is .1. Fine, so I install the software update, but when it is in the installing stage of the process when the computer is restarting, it says that it cannot be installed and that the download may be corrupted etc.
I have downloaded the item twice and have had the same response each time. So I was wondering if there's a way to download Software Updates manually from somewhere on Apple's site or something so I can try that instead.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Steve.

Thanks, I'll try the combo update first. I'll make sure to Verify the disk first.
My internet connection is a Fibre-Optic broadband connection and I'm in Manchester, UK. There was some issues with downloading via Safari before, but now that's sorted out but the problem is persisting with the software update it seems. Hence why I'm trying it this way.
I'll let you know how I get on

I don't have an HP printer any more, but Apple keeps trying to update my HP drivers, etc. Is there some way I can fix software update to avoid this?

Very minor problem: Software update keeps wanting to update my HP printer drivers; I don't have an HP printer any more, and I don't want to waste either the time or the space. How do I tell the software update program I'm not interested in this particular item?

Is the printer still mentioned in System Prefs?

I need to download 32 bit Firefox for chemdraw(application), but can only install 64 bit. Is there any way to manually download 32 bit Firefox?

Hello, I am currently using Connect.com as a chemistry supplement, but cannot answer some questions because its ChemDraw application cannot be accessed through 64 bit as I am told.
I am wondering how to download and install the 32 bit version of Firefox.

Unless you specifically download a BETA x64 bit, all downloads are x32. There is no official x64 support for Windows yet. Which version do you want to download? The latest is available at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/. Beta and Nightly at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/

Can't download software update

I can't download updates for the iPad (4.3.5). Have latest version of iTunes (10.5). Have disabled both firewall and anti-virus (so please don't give that canned response). Sometimes it downloads for 30 or 40 seconds, then counts up to like 40 minutes remaining, and then throws an error. Sometimes it counts up and throws the error right away. The error is "There was a problem downloading the software... The network connection timed out." Had the same problem with the latest iPhone update. Took over 30 attempts to get it downloaded.
This problem cropped up when I reintalled Windows 7 64-bit on my machine, then installed iTunes (supposedely) 64-bit installation. No Internet problems. Can browse, download, stream music and video just fine. The only other problem I have had is that it took 3 or 4 tries to download iTunes 4.5 from Apple's website. Is this an Apple problem? Is my ISP to blame? Is there a way to manually download the update? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Alex,
After traversing mentioned path on SAP Marketplace , you can see below software component.
SUM10SP02_10-20006676.SAR
When you add above compoenent to download basket it goes to Export section.
In order to review and process your request, please, contact SAP Export Department via customer ticket using component XX-SER-SWFL-EXPORT. As soon as your request has been approved you can download the files.
that means it requires SAP message to approve this compoenent from SAP , then only you are allowed to download.
Best Regards,

Thank you so much! It's updating now. I'm hoping that once the update is finished that it will sync like normal as well. Of course I'm still a bit confused/concerned about how it refused to update on it's own, but for now that's not a problem. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more problems.

Is there a simple way to do a software update check without disturbing the user?

Simple thing... You log in to a machine remotely, or you use the session already logged in by the user, and run Software Update. It goes to Apple's servers, compares software versions, and then you can see a list of which updates need to be pushed out to the machine, and so you cancel out of Software Update and use the ARD install function to push them out.
So is there another way to find out which updates are available and needed for some particular machine, which does not involve hijacking the user's screen in order to run an application?

The updates Cathy was asking about are the standard Mac OS X updates from Apple. You can download most of them from Apple and push them out via ARD, or just have each system check for and install separately via the UNIX command.
Flash Player already comes in a package. You just have to "show package contents" on the Adobe installer and look in the Resources folder for the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file. That can be pushed out by ARD without problems. Many other applications similarly have a hidden .pkg file. Firefox is a single file and can be pushed out via normal file copy.
For making your own packages for applications that don't use Apple's installer, here are some resources for starters:

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I had to reformat my hard drive on an older Desktop running Windowx XP. The IE browser is not working now. Is there a way I can download Firefox onto a flash drive from my new desktop and install it on my old desktop?

I had to reformat the hard drive on my old desktop. It is runninf Windows XP. I can't get Internet Explorer to work so I can connect to the internet via wireless. Is there a way I can download firefox from my new desktop onto a flas drive and then install Firefox from the flash drive onto my old desktop? If so, please explain the procedure.

Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.

I have a late 2008 iMac with dual intels and the fans won't come on anymore. About every 1 1/2 hours, it automatically shuts down to cool off. Is there any way to manually turn it on? Or, do they have to be replaced?

About every 1 1/2 hours, it automatically shuts down to cool off. Is there any way to manually turn it on? Or, do they have to be replaced?

I tried that with no improvement. I think I might have to have the fans replaced. do you know if this is a particularly difficult procedure? Something wierd that I've noticed is that if I have a video on for more than several minutes, the fans comes on, and also when I am on a Skype video conference for awhile. Otherwise, the fan jst doen't come on as the intels heaten up to the point the the auto shut down kicks in...any advise? This definitely interupts my work! Thanks for your help and input thus far!

I have a macbook pro with osx 10.8.2 and have the latest version of itunes. Whilst on itunes I realised that there was a shared library with musc on it. Is there a way I can download this music?

Please help!

You are seeing someone else's shared iTunes Library.
Is there a way I can download this music?
No, not without enabling Home Sharing, which would require using the same Apple ID and the other account holder's consent.

Is there any way to re-download something on iTunes?

I downloaded an LP from a new album, but one of the bonus videos that came with the album is skippy and I think it might be because I paused the download on the LP and that might have messed it up. Is there any way I can download it again, seeing as I purchased it and it is my property?

I don't know if the bonus material is available for re-downloading, but go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. You can see if the bonus material is listed there. If so, delete it from iTunes and you should then be able to re-download it.
For full instructions, see:

If it's not listed there, go here:

and follow the instructions to report the problem with the video to the iTunes Store.

Aperture 3.1.2 no more stores imported pictures in projects. Downloded Update 3.2.2 cannot be opended. Actualisations only via Mac App Store. Is there a way via Internet-Download?

Aperture 3.1.2 no more stores imported pictures in projects. Downloded Update 3.2.2 cannot be opended. Actualisations only via Mac App Store. Is there a way via Internet-Download?

In the Window 'About Aperture' is below the Version: a No: 1530000.1
Are you looking in the "About" panel of your old Aperture installation or the Trial? The old version will show the licence number, if it has one. After installing a different version this chance is gone.
I bought Aperture 3.1.2 on March 2011 in the internet App Store.
If you bought from the App Store and not the Apple Store, your Aperture version has no serial number. Are you sure, you did not buy from the Apple Store? Then you should have received a serial number by email.
Can you give me a serial No
No, sorry I cannot. The serial number is bought with Aperture and only licenced to the person who bought it.
