Latest software update will not install

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 and the latest updates do not want to install. It downloads fine looks like it installs, but end up with a "An Undexpected Error Occurred." I've had this machine for 3 years now and have never encountered an update problem before. Is anyone else haveing this problem?
I've run Disk Repair and results were there were no problems.

4s with latest software update will not power off, text will only vibrate, iPod only works with earphones. When I sync it with iTunes it works until power save mode starts, then back to not powering down, making text sounds, or playing iPod out loud.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Backing up, Updating and Restoring

If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

OSX software updates will not install

Softward updates will not install on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.7.4). The updates download, but then during the installation process a message pops up saying that an error occurred and that nothing was installed. I've tried it 5 times with the same result each time.
Any suggestions (for a non-technical person)?

Hello, macrmj.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple troubleshooting articles I would recommend going through that may help resolve this issue.

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 software updates will not install

I have five software updates that will not install. I have checked my hardware and my disk space and all seem fine. I also, downloaded and installed the Apple Software Installer Update 1.0 but my updates will still not install. Any other suggestions?

Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8. Then try launching the app.
if that doesn't help, try contacting the developer of the app > http://support.aspyr.com/home

Software updates will not install... error message

Software updates refuse to install for several weeks/months... backed up to six or more updates... cannot get any help from apple unless i pay them 75 dollars but i am sure it is something simple... when i attempt to update, i put in my pass code, they download and when they go to install the error message says "none of the checked updates can be installed, sorry an unexpected error has occurred" vague enough for you? Can anyone help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What happens when you run Software Update?
Get MacJanitor and run the Maintenance scripts. When it's finished quit MacJanitor and restart your Mac.
Have you checked the hard disk for errors?
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free disk space. Not enough disk space can cause directory corruption.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode

Software updates will not install...?

Hi all,
I have a number of updates I wish to install but am having some difficulty. The updates include itunes 8.2, J2SE 5.0, Quicktime & security updates.
I am getting the following message - "None of the checked updates could be installed - A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again"
My internet connection is fast & stable, my hard drive has 11.46gb available..
Is there anything else I should be trying? Any tips/ ideas?? All help is appreciated!

Have you tried starting the computer in SafeBoot mode,
by holding the Shift key down on startup, throughout
the duration until a login window appears, then after a
desktop finder window is steady, use Go in the Finder
menubar to go into Utilities Folder. Then launch Disk
Utility from there; click on Macintosh HD & click on the
little button in the utility named 'repair disk permissions.'
After Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions' has run and
the permissions on the volume are repaired, quit the
utility and restart the computer normally. This may help.
Over the course of time, doing nothing to maintain the
Mac OS X system may result in odd behavior; some-
times months or years after running a computer, a few
odd issues may come up. In the case of Mac OS X, to
repair disk permissions before and after software update
and security update, and installations of applications, is
a form of preventative maintenance. Helps it work better.
A free downloadable utility interface tool such as OnyX
from Titanium Software's web page, can also help in
doing several kinds of maintenance. This can be set up
to run in an Automation mode and you can checkbox
several items, and in the utility's own Preferences, one
of them allow you to have the utility restart the computer
when the items in Automation are completed. This is
one of a few great freeware/donationware utility tools.
A side question: How was the last step in your iBook's
OS X version arrived at? Was it a small file update to
the latest numbered step or was it a larger Combo file?
If not the larger file, perhaps to repair disk permissions
and then get and install the large Combo 10.4.11 (etc)
over the existing similar version/step, then repair disk
permissions on the system on restart after installing it.
Not seeing the computer or trying the simple things
first (easier to do and show how, than to tell about)
makes these discussions sometimes a bit wary...
There is also a chance you may have to start the
computer from the Installer Disc and then use a
special Disk Utility version accessed within the
Installer's menu bar, prior to actually running the
Installer itself. The menu bar looks like the Finder
but says Installer in the upper left hand corner; so
the menu bar has drop down items. At some step
in the process, there is no menu bar, be watchful.
You do not need to run the installer, just Disk Utility.
You can repair disk, repair disk permissions, and
verify either. Choose repair on both counts, since
that will also verify and repair. And also note if
the drive SMART status verification says passed.
To boot from the installer disc, you have to hold
the C key down on startup until you see a screen
indicating you have a new window, and then the
second screen in 10.4 shows the menu bar on top.
If you need to go that far... Of course, the Installer's
booted Disk Utility can be used for further and more
advanced processes including totally erasing drives,
formatting, archive/installing, & other utility functions.
Knowing when to need to use some of these, and how
is part of the learning processes which can save you
time and money by getting a handle on the basics first.
Good luck & happy computing!

Software Update will not install

I have this re-occurring problem:
1 - iTunes store will not load because it needs new Safari Update
2 - Mac searches automatically for software update and comes up with:
• Safari 4.0.3
• Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update version 1.0
• Security Update 2009-006 version 1.00
3 - Prompt appears for 3 items to be installed and Restart
4 - Computer logs out and then comes up with message " Software could not be installed on / "
I have been through this several times - if anyone can suggest a solution I'd be delighted

thanks for your response hatter .. but as you will see from my signature below, I am not using Snow Leopard... Am still on basic Leopard (10.5.6)
Anyone else please?

The latest iTunes update will not install.

I get an error message,
Program:c\Programfiles R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the applications support team for more information.
I removed iTunes and attempted to reinstall, no luck.
I also tried a system restore but it would not restore to an earlier point. Nothing was changed.
An unspecified error occurred during system restore.
I have had no problems with previous updates to iTunes

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Today's (June 12) Software Updates Will Not Install

Anyone else having this issue? It downloads today's two updates to Snow Leopard (iTunes10.6.3 and AirPort Utility 5.6.1) and then proceeds with the progress bar which reaches a point 2/3 of the way and never progresses after 30 minutes. At that time, it keeps alerting that the installations failed. Anyone else having this problem?

Okay, the difference seemed to be that I could install them individually by manually downloading them and discover which of them is the culprit. It is the AirPort Utility Update that is not installing. I may try rebooting and installing but I want to wait a day or two to see if others are having this issue with update and Apple releases a revised one instead of installing something faulty.
This is what it says:
I just found another thread regarding failure installing this update (but it was in the OS 10.7 Lion forum:

The software update will not install on my 3rd gen. iPod Touch

I've downloaded the software update to my computer, but when trying to install it to my iPod, it fails halfway through. I gave it about 5 hours the first time, but the progress bar didn't budge. I would reinstall the update but I don't know how to do that.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
(I am updated to iTunes 10)

i would recommend you don't upgrade because ever since i upgraded my ipod had to be restored and now all my songs skip. i never had this problem with my 3rd gen touch until the upgrade

Latest Software Update will not let me power up

I decided to update my MBP - the older one -
once it shut it for a Restart, it will no longer Restart. It's shut down. So I go to power up with the button, and it tries to start, gives me 2 circles of the spinning clock, and shuts right back down again.
I tried and tried, it refuses to power up and start.
Any ideas? How do I fix this when I can't get into it?
Thanks

I'm at the Apple Store.
Total corruption. The HDD won't mount, Disk Verify/Repair did not work -
had to Erase and Reinstall everything.
Thank goodness I had backed it up.

Camera Raw 5.7 Update will not install

You can also install it manually.
Be sure to have the latest download, then open the DMG file (should do so automatic) and grab the plug in file to drag it in the correct place.
This is the path:
Library (That is on root level, not your user account library!) / Application Support/ Adobe? Plug-ins / CS4 / File Formats.
In this folder should only be one version present and it is called "Camera Raw.plugin" Under info it should say version 5.7.
