Mac OS 10.5.8 update combined can't be saved, Apple digital signature incorrect.

Hi,
I have tried, several times, to update OS 10.5.1 to 10.5.8 using Apple's online software updater. It takes 20 minutes to download the 768 mb package but then
refuses to save with the following message. 2.16 GHz + 2 GB ram.
Mac OS X 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.
I need to update to 10.5.8 so I can then install 10.6 etc.
I have tried to install 10.6 without updating to 10.8 but it shows the message: Mac OS X can't install on this computer. I assume this is because I have not, and
cannot, updated to 10.5.8.
Any help would be appreciated.
Apple want me to pay $20 to advise them that their software package has an incorrect digital signature, even though it has only just been downloaded from their servers. No email address to advise Apple of problem.

Hello, it's generally one of two thinks that cause this, but it is a bad download.
Try Ethernet instead of Airport if possible.
Disk can be corrupted...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Try getting it direct instead of SWUPDate...
Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot.
1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...

The update "Mac OS X Update Combined" can't be saved.

A few days ago my mac ( late 2009 model MacBook pro running lion 10.7.2 ) started freezing, a lot. The freezing seemed to be a problem with osx itself rather than with any particular program. So I initiated software update hoping that there would be an osx update. Low and behold, there was.
Here is the problem.... I can't get it. I have tried twice and both times I get this message
"The update “Mac OS X Update Combined” can’t be saved.
The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."
Any ideas?

Ok this problem has developed somewhat.
My machine has gone from bad freezing spells to being downright broken.
I rebooted the machine and got stuck at login screen.
Rebooted again and didn't get to login screen.
Rebooted again and got logged in but my desktop was unresponsive and then started flashing between the desktop image and a plain grey screen. I did this literally all night (left it over night).
So today I have booted up from an install of lion I have on an external FireWire drive. And all is well. I am trying to backup things like my photo library and other documents so that I can format the internal hard drive and and do a clean install.
I can access the hard drive, see all the files, but when trying to copy it over I get an error message saying
"the finder can't complete the operation because some data in "iPhoto library" can't be read or written ( error code -36 )
Now before anyone screams broken hard drive, the data can be read, because I can view it all in finder. Just can't copy it out to an external drive.
Please help!!
Oh ps. Before booting from the external I created a new admin account on my machine and booted int that. The freezing problem was the same as in my normal account.

HELP: The update "Mac OS X Update Combined" can't be saved error -1001

I have a Mac Mini at a vacation town home, so it needs quite a few updates whenever I use it. Everything installed fine except a combined 10.5.6 and 10.5.7 update. Everytime I attempt to download/install it, it will download a few mbs, then stop and give me the error:
*The update “Mac OS X Update Combined” can’t be saved.*
A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.
My internet never seems to have conked out, as the 'ready' light on my modem is always lit, so where is the problem here?
Thanks in advance for the help.

TS1541 "Mac OS Update Combined" can't be saved

Hey all,
was having issues with my hard drive so I backed up files via TIME MACHINE then erased and reinstalled OS 10.5 then asked it to transfer back my files using TIME MACHINE. For some odd reason, it transferred my files, but left me with 10.5.6 - having to upgrade all the software again. Took all day then got this message:
WTH?!?!?? It's not like I downloaded bad upgrade software - I used SOFTWARE UPDATE from my computer to download this. Anyone else get this error and what can I do about it?
Thanks!
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, try another dwnload, Ethernet instead of Airport/Wifi if possible.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

(Software Update) The update "QuickTime can't be saved.

I have gotten the following failure repeatedly on every attempt (about 5x) of QT 7.5 update. I have successfully used Software Update to get to OS X 10.5.4 but the QT 7.5 update has not succeeded.
The Software Update status window says' Downloading 1 item Expanding and verifying QuickTime...'
The error message is 'The update "QuickTime" can't be Saved. Software Update could not expand the package correctly.'
Based on the QT discussion board i am wondering if it is even a good idea to get this 7.5. However the iTunes 7.7 says that it requires QT 7.5. I am at iTunes 7.7 now. The reason is I read that I need to be on 10.5.4 OSX and iTunes 7.7 before downloading iPhone OS 2.0.
thanks

I was using Software Update, which is supposed to know the correct version. Once, I did try to get the Leopard version off the downloads web page and the disk failed to mount. After your reply I tried again from the downloads page and this time it worked.
So problem solved, but I have no clue why...I had just rebooted... but I had rebooted before without it helping. It seems random chance combined with enough reboots did the trick.
Thanks for your help.

Recharging my iPod shuffle (3rd gen.) on my 2009 iMac (OS 10.5.8) goes extremely slowly (via usb port at the back). This is mainly because recharging stops when my mac goes to sleep. I just can't believe that Apple doesn't have a sollution for this, but I haven't found it yet... What's the most efficient way of recharging?

Purchase a wall charger for it instead.

A different apple id appearing when i try to install updates, how can i change that apple id?

a different apple id apearing when i try to install updates, how can i change that apple id?

That's the ID that was used for the purchase. ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

Software Update - digital signature incorrect

I have several update packages that were consistently reporting the error:
*The update "xxxxxxx" can't be saved.*
The digital signature for this package is incorrect.
The updates are:
iLife Support 9.0.3
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4 1.0
Safari 4.0
Several other updates (eg. recent iTunes and QuickTime) downloaded and installed OK.
I tried all of the following to no avail:
Repair disk permissions
Reinstall 10.5.7 combo package manually
Delete Software Update preferences & cache files
Multiple restarts
Finally I tried running Software Update under a fresh admin account and they downloaded OK. (Different issue that the Java Update later said it couldn't install).
So seemingly this is related to something in my usual admin account. Does anybody know what other preference files I should look to delete, or any other hidden setting that is affecting the digital signature checking?

I tried all of the following to no avail:
Repair disk permissions
Guess Carolyn didn't notice this.
This was happening fairly frequently about a month ago when 10.5.7 came out. The Apple servers were overloaded apparently and some incomplete downloads occurred so some type of checksum prevented running the update. Waiting and downloading later seemed to be the best solution.

Perhaps by the time you did all the troubleshooting steps, if you tried it from the original admin account it would have downloaded correctly.

I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document?

I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document. When the signature field is clicked, it is not showing my digital ID so that I can sign with it. Why it is not displaying my valid digital ID?

What is your operating system? What is your Reader version? What means "can not"?
Can you post a screenshot of such a message "to buy Adobe XI"?

Mac G3 w/ Tiger 10.4.3 update problem/issue "digital signature incorrect"

I have an old G3 on which I reloaded 10.4.3 yesterday (Retail copy). It did not go very smoothly. This is the 3rd install; 1st install was several months ago with this chip, 2nd install was shortly after that with a PowerLogix chip which didn't work. I put the old chip/processor back in yesterday and reinstalled again. I don't remember if I messed with the firmware or not with the previous installs.
PowerMacG3, Model 1.1, PowerPC750, 256meg, BootRom 1.1.1f4
The software updater tells me I need to update to 10.4.8. When I proceed with this, the system downloads the software OK, but when it attempts to install the update I get the following error:
The update "Mac OS X Update Combined (PowerPC) can't be installed.
The digital signature for this package is incorrect.
The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple".
Any ideas as to how I resolve this? Could the problem be with the OS registration, and the different chips?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I can do a nozzle check with the USB unplugged,
and I still get poor results on the C82 and nothing
on the C86. I just can't believe both printers are
broken. The C86 is new, and they were both working
fine previously.
Epsons are notorious for getting their print heads clogged. Run the clean print head routine a few times. If that doesn't work, return the new printer 'cause it's dead out of the box. The old printer, well, once Epson print heads get to a certain level of clogging, nothing will unclog them. Toss the printer and get a new one. Hint: HP and (some) Canon printers put the print heads in the ink cartridges, while Epson and (some) Canons have the print heads in the printers. Machines which have the heads in the carts also have an easy fix for severe clogs: toss the cart. Warning: HP printer drivers stink.
If you don't need colour, you might think seriously about getting a low-end laser.
I just got the C82 to print readably, but still
completely missing magenta and with minimal
fuzziness. This was just dumb luck though, from
letting the printer sit idle for several hours.
It's still clogged. Clean the heads a few times again, or just toss it.
And yes, I've tried setups through the Print & Fax
pref pane, which usually works better than going
through the Printer Setup Utility which tends to
freeze and crash.
I wish I could afford to just buy another printer.
But I'm still worried it's something to do with my
computer, since both printers are having problems
simultaneously, and they're both really good
all-purpose printers.
It's not your machine. It's Epson.

How (if at all) can Portal be used with Digital Signatures

We are looking at how to handle a web based Digital Signature/Digital Certificate application. If it was simply client/server the answer is pretty clear using OAS and the "Wallet Manager" on the client side.
Now, we have a potentially vast number of users who might logically use the web to access and submit information requiring a digital signature. Since they could be any where, we can't be in the business of handing out their certs, but we will have to be able to accept their certs. I'm glossing over the details here.
