Mac OS 10.5.6 update not loading

Software update alerted today that 10.5.6 was available for download, so I downloaded it. After going through the required restart, the update started to load but then just hung there. The blue bar only moved about 1/4 of an inch for 10 minutes, so I was forced to do a hard shutdown. And, I went through this three times on 10/15/2008.
Any help?

Hello savvy:
This has happened to a number of people (including me on my Intel-based iMac). I was updating from OS X 10.5.5. I downloaded the updater from the web site (regular, not combo.. about 387 mb) and applied it. It updated "normally." I have been running OS X 10.5.6 since yesterday without problems.
I did delete (may or may not have been necessary) the OS X 10.5.6 pkg files that were previously downloaded.

    how do i fix this

    Boot with extensions off.    Use the Classic System Preference panel to determine what extensions are loaded.  I believe you can set this through the Advanced panel.   The Shift key forces Classic to boot without extensions.

  • Since uploading Firefox 4 I get error messages saying it can't update and I should be sure I am using the latest version. I am, so why will updates not load?

    The question is in the title. I have had no updates to Firefox 4, just error messages saying they can't be loaded and I should check that I am using the latest version. I have downloaded Firefox 4 again to be sure my copy is up to date but it makes no difference. I still get the error message.

    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
    You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

  • 17.0 Browser update not loading my navigation on MANY sites I have developed

    leandesign.com navigation bar not loading. View in different browser to see the proper page. This is happening on MANY sites that have been designed for clients.
    A prompt response would be great!

    That looks like a victim of the user agent sniffing change that changed the Gecko part in the user agent to Gecko/17.0 instead of Gecko/20100101 that previous Firefox versions have.<br />
    This change should be reverted in a Firefox 17.0.1 release, so you will have to wait for that.<br />

    It works in the current Aurora build that already has this change (for some reason Nightly doesn't have it).

  • App Store and Updates not loading in Mavericks

    Hi there,
    Upgraded my imac to Mavericks and all was well.  Then there were some updates for my Aperture, iPhoto and iMovie (all previously purchased as full copies).  Something went wrong to my internet connection during the updates and the app store repeatedly asked for my Id and password, which I entered.
    The downloads finally completed and the apps seem to work ok.
    The problem arose when i went back to the app store and it would not open the application.  The toolbar for the app store appears but the appstore software doesnt.  No can not log in to app store to check updates and will not allow to check for updates from the Software Update option at the Apple logo.
    Tried to restore from Time Machine but will not all it saying it needs the files for OSX.  Whats going on?
    How can I restore the appstore, OSX and not lose my data - this is a family Mac and all our photos of our children and family are on it!
    Any help really appreciated.

    If you continue to have problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • 10.5.2 Graphics update not loading

    Well after some trepidation I decided to go ahead and load the graphics update anyway (I don't use DVD player at all, and I wanted the graphics update so that Warcraft will run better).
    But it won't install it for me!
    I get an error message which reads:
    The update “Leopard Graphics Update” can’t be saved.
    The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”
    Does anyone have any ideas? Or should I just wait till the graphics update gets revamped?
    Thanks!

    Stumbled upon this thread trying to find out if anyone's seen before what happened on my macbook pro this morning. it was the first time last night that i left X11 running before closing the lid for sleeping. this morning i was greeted with this:
    http://files.dataring.ee/27022008057.jpg
    Disconnecting the external monitor in the hopes that it would somehow reset the display driver did not help, nor did reconnecting it. I could hear the sound effects of the software still running (Skype sounds etc) so I did not want to just power off the machine and risk some data corruption, I navigated blindly to the Apple menu and try to hit the 9th item from the top for Restart. There was some feedback from changing menu items with these random color blocks changing, same for cmd-tab activity etc, so definitely looks like a corrupt display driver problem and most like regarding running X11.
    Now I am checking macosforge and it does appear that I am running an outdated XQuartz from last December. I'll hit the upgrade and see what happens.
    Perhaps this is related some way to the original post!

  • Updates not loading

    My iPad is showing 7 updates but none of them will load. When I hit Update All or just update on an individual app, the circle starts but then immediately goes back to Update. I have not yet updated to iOS 8 but haven't experienced any issues before this one. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Greetings PSUPrincss,
    It seems you are unable to download updates from the App Store. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Combo updates not loading.

    I was at 10.6.4 tried updating to 10.6.7 Combo would not work. Tried 10.6.8 disk image wouldn't load. Now mail won't work. Tried 10.6.6 combo -  won't load. I'm on dial-up so I can only download when I bring my computer to work. HELP

    Go to an Apple store or AASP with a blank DVD or 2.0 GB USB flash drive and ask them if the would put the 10.6.8 combo updater on it for you.

  • Muse Updates Not Loading

    I'm currently running Muse 4.0 build 557, on my Mac Pro 4,1 with OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Everytime I invoke Muse from the App folder, I get a Muse splash screen and then a popup screen saying there is an update. When I try to install the update, the progress bar on the popup screen goes along without any hiccups to the end.
    About half way in that progress an icon appears which is, I believe, a disk image for the update installer. The big popup screen disappears and it looks like the only thing to do is double click installer image icon. Doing that pops up another window with the update installer app inside it. Double clicking that installer app to either gray if you double click or blue if you single click.
    Nothing else happens. It apparently never starts and just sits there. 2 icons also have snuck into the dock, one of which is an air thingy and the other is a Muse thingy. Clicking on those produce the same results = NOTHING.
    On the advice of Zak I downloaded & installed a newer air installer that was supposed to fix a bug in the older one, but there was no joy after that either.
    Does anyone out there have any clue as to what may be preventing the update installer from working?
    Why doesn't Adobe roll it into an update for Muse that the Adobe App Manager can handle like was done not too long ago?
    I'm not enjoying any of this. This program was obviously not well beta tested and seems to be vapor-ware that was rushed to market before it was ready.
    Ken

    For those coming to this thread, the discussion started and continued here <http://forums.adobe.com/message/5217999#5217999>.
    At this point the short version is I expect the AIR Application Installer is running "correctly" but in doing so is taking the time to scan the 4 terabytes of drives that are mounted looking for older versions of the application and that's taking a very long time.
    I have an e-mail out within Adobe to learn more about the reasons behind the completeness of this scan and to learn whether/how we might be able to disable it or otherwise reduce the impact for future updates of Muse. For now the only workarounds are to either wait it out or temporarily unmount all but the necessary drives prior to running the installer/update in order to reduce the number of files scanned as part of the install/update process.

  • I have a 2009 mac book pro.  CDs will not load in OSX - however it will load CDs in Win 7 via bootcamp.  Same with any CD or DVD.  Any ideas on what is wrong?

    I have a 2009 mac book pro running 10.6.8.  I also use win 7 via boot camp.  I can load CDs and DVDs fine, when booted onto win 7 but cannot get the same dvds or cds loaded when running OSX.  So, I'm having to reboot to win 7, every time I want to import a CD into my itunes library - I load the disc in win 7, then reboot back to osx in order to import the CD into my itunes library (which i have on my OSX side).  When running OSX, everytime I try to load any CD or DVD, the drive shoots the disc right out.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

  • App store updates not loading

    Starting yesterday, I have been receiving App Store notifications for new updates, but, when I open the App Store and the Updates section, nothing ever loads. The page remains blank. Sometimes, the indicator that something is downloading will appear for a few seconds, then it stops. Most of the time, it won't even do that much. I have tried closing the app and restarting it several times, but this doesn't help.

    Two things to try, Chris.

  • Aperture 2.1.4 update will not load after Snow Leopard update

    Has any one found the fix for aperture 2.1.4 update not loading after the installation of Snow Leopard. I to am also getting the alert "aperture 2.0 or later is required to install the update". I installed my copy of aperture 2.1 using the installer with no problems so the program is in the correct location. I've seen the posts related to this problem and it does not seem a fix has been found.

    Just ran into this myself. I did check to see if there was a preference to delete under ~/Library/Preferences and one is not created since 2.1 is never actually launched. 2.1 is sitting in the root of Applications and hasn't been renamed, but the 2.1.4 update just doesn't detect that it is there and just gives the alert "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update."

  • My Mac will not load up

    I'm actually doing this as a favor for somebody.
    The problem is they live in Spain and have powercuts very regularly. They went away for a few days and forgot to turn their mac off.
    Now it will not load up properly and displays on a black screen something about DARWIN. I've never come across that sort of problem before but it sounds quite bad.
    I advised them to try and use the back up disk, at that time the disk draw would not open.
    It was managed after a while, with a bit of gentle manipultion on one of the cogs. The disk was inserted and the 'C' button was pressed at the start up. When it came to choosing the hard disk, there wasn't one to choose.
    What it sounds like to me is the hard disk has been damaged quite badly or even destroyed somehow in the powercuts.
    The computer is an old flat panel. 800mhz, 60GB hard drive,
    256 RAM. I suppose it is going to cost a lot of money to fix it, is it worth just giving up on it and replacing the machine with something else.
    The machine was only used for a bit of word processing and web browsing.

    There is a nother thread called 'crashed mac" here where the guy has the same problem....not sure of the solution. He might need to boot to a Disk warrior CD and see if that helps. Its a problem i have not hear much about, but this is twice in one week....and if you google it, you will find it even more common...but no real solution that I can find yet.
