Mac OS 10.7.5 update fails on Macbook

Trying to update to 10.7.5 from 10.7.4 fails on about three different Macbooks I have.
I have tried through Software Update.
I have tried downloading the update from apple.com/downloads
I have tried downloading the combo update from apple.com/downloads
I have tried formatting the drive and reinstalling Lion and then repeating all of the above.
They all fail.
The most useful output I could get from it was using the installer command:
bash-3.2# installer -pkg ./MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.5.pkg -tgt /
installer: Package name is Mac OS X Update Combined
installer: Upgrading at base path /
2013-01-30 21:37:49.948 installer[612:7803] PackageKit: Missing bundle path, skipping: <bundle id="com.apple.airport.airportutility"></bundle>

2013-01-30 21:37:50.029 installer[612:7803] PackageKit: Missing bundle path, skipping: <bundle id="com.apple.XsanAdmin"></bundle>
installer: The upgrade failed (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
The missing bundles don't necessarily surprise me since they sound like fairly specialized applications. There seems to be no other indication of WHY it failed however, and no contact information to find out what to do next.
Help? This is affecting about 5 Macbooks that I have tested so far, so probably another 15 that I haven't tested yet.

After researching older questions and answers it came down to the battery.  Sure enough my battery was warped on the inside and the outside.  The inside warp presses on the underside of the trackpad and click bar causing all sorts of misadventure with the trackpad and click bar.  So I answered my own questions.

  • Ipad/iphone software update fail on MacBook Pro

    Apologies in advance that this will be a bit convoluted. I Try to keep it concise.
    I am trying to update my iPhone/iPad to latest software version 4.3.3. This works fine on my MacBook Air, but not on my MacBook Pro (First i& version, early 2010).
    I phoned Mac support and been through all their check lists (Transfer purchases, backup, sync, turn off firewall, etc.). I have used disk repair, cocktail and Clean-my-Mac. I have removed everything form the startup menu in the admin account (which I am using) and have disabled/removed all security software.
    I am still getting the following error message, after itunes has gone through extracting the software and syncing the device:
    "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone software server could not be contacted or is temporaily unavailable." (see shot below).
    As I am using the same wireless router/network connection for the MacBook Air (which as I said updates fine), it is not likely to caused by router settings, but rather something on the MacBook Pro. As I uses it as my main machine and where i keep my Itunes library, I would like to be able to perform the software updates for the iDevices from there.
    Has anyone had the same problem, and possibly a solution. Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,

    This was first posted on MacBook Pro forum, but it was suggested the me to repost it in both the iphone and ipad forum; apologies if this leads to duplication

    Thanks Nick,
    I will try this now.
    Any idea though what would the MacBook Pro prevent the auto update, when the MacBook Air has no issues whatsoever. I want to avoid reinstalling the OS, maybe a re-install of iTunes might help.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    Cheers,

  • Mac OSX 10.5.6 update fails every time

    Hi,
    I recently did a defrag on my macbook pro and reinstalled it from the leopard disk. And so it was reset to mac OSX 10.5, now every time I try the combined update to 10.5.6 it fails, I tried twice with the updated deleting in after the first try. I then downloaded it from the downloads but to no avail.

    Hello and welcome to the discussions. Just recently the 10.5.6 combo update was revised to allow the update from 10.5.0. Before it was required 10.5.1 to update using the 10.5.6 combo. Try updating to 10.5.1 then run the 10.5.6 combo.
    You can download 10.5.1 here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_1Update
    Hope it works for you,

  • Mac OSX 10.7.5 update failed to save?

    Hi,
    I've been getting this message every single time i try to update my software and it's driving me mental!
    ''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.''
    I honestly have no idea on what to do. All the discussions about this issue date back to 2012, I was wondering if anyone had a more up to date solution/advice?
    Greatly appreciated!

  • Mountain Lion 10.8.2 update failed on MacBook Pro

    This morning I used the Mac App Store to apply the latest Mountain Lion update along with Evernote and XCode updates. They installed, prompted me to restart and when I did I was greeted with a progress bar during startup. This gets about a quarter of the way through, then dissappears and the MacBook turns off. When I power on the laptop again, I get the progress bar again, it gets a quarter of the way through and powers off again.
    This is the first time I've had a problem with my Mac in over 2 years so I'm not too sure where to even begin diagnosing the problem.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I had a similar issue, but the update wouldn't install via the app store, it just kept saying something must be wrong with the file, so I downloaded it from Apple's website. That was a mistake. When I installed it from the downloaded file, it corrupted my machine, as it seems it has with yours.
    I tried booting into the recovery partition and running disk repar, but that told me I needed to backup and buy a new hard drive. Which I found funny since everything's been running fine up until the install (I'm on a MBP Mid-2010).
    Long story short, I ended up having to reformat and restore from a TimeMachine backup. Everything's working fine now, and disk utility is reporting no problems.

  • Mac OSX (10.5.6) update breaking new MacBook Pro

    Hi, I purchased one of the new MacBook Pro Unibody machines and every time I have tried to update the operating system to 10.5.6 it has broken the performance of the machine. I have used the updater software as well as tried to install via the combo updater. Every time I do this I log in to find that performance is extremely choppy. When I move my mouse it jumps around all over the place, making it extremely difficult to click on anything. Applications launch at an abysmally slow rate and the computer just generally begins to take a nose dive for the worst. It seriously is running slower and more poorly than my outdated MacBook. I'm getting extremely tired of fresh installing Leopard and was hoping someone could help me out in trying to solve this problem as I want to have the most up to date system but I don't want it to come at a significant performance decrease.
    Any help would be amazing.

    Have you run Disk Utility's "Verify Disk" step to see if it finds any problems with the file system on the hard drive?
    Also, when you say 'fresh install' what exactly do you mean you have done, step by step? Depending on the installation options, you may have retained or reintroduced some third party item that is interfering with the update, like a login item or 'enhancer' software.

  • 10.4.8 update failed, I now have mac os with serial number, no version

    Tried to update my iBook G3 700MHz to 10.4.8 but the update failed. Software update told me that I could try running the updater again from the Trash which did not work (even after moving the file from the Trash and running it from the desktop).
    If I try running the updater (delta or combo, downloaded from apple.com) I only get a message telling me that there was some kind of JavaScript error and that the package cannot be installed.
    According to apple > About this computer I don't have any version of Mac os, there is just a serial number there that I have never seen before. The serial number is where 10.4.8 would normally be.
    At the bottom of the popup it only says "(c) & tm", I believe it should read "c & tm Apple Computer".
    Disc Utility cannot repair permissions on my start-up drive because the button is greyed out. It seems as if Disc utility cannot find any version of Mac os on my single partition. I have no other harddrives or partitions attached to the ibook btw.
    The iBook starts up just fine and Mac os works though. I'm using the iBook now. All programs that do not check the OS version work fine too, but BBEdit does not start since it "requires mac os 10.3.5 or later" and Disc utility does not want to repair permissions since it thinks I have no mac os installed.
    Any idea how to reset or repair the version number except reinstalling mac os?
    I did an update on my G5 powermac and that worked just fine so I can probably copy files from there if I only knew which ones to copy.

    Hi-
    Sorry you're having problems. Me too, but not quite as severe as yours. Was running 10.4.7 on a TiBook 800, 37 GB free space. Ran from the autoinstaller and it failed the same way yours did and suggested I run the package that was in the trash. I pulled that out and first ran disk utility. It fixed some permissions but I was unable to run the 'repair' as it was greyed out (the 'verify' came up w/ errors and said the disk needed repaired). I started up in single user mode and ran fsck -fy. This was able to fix the disk and resolve all (disk) errors.
    Reran the updater by double-clicking on the package but it fails the same way. My info under the blue apple icon is unchanged from before I ran the updater (not as severe as your problem). But I'm just waiting for more info or a new release from Apple. I don't want to find a way to force this update and end up in worse trouble.
    This is not the stock disk that came from Apple, I've upgraded it. I haven't noticed any other problems w/ the computer's behavior.
    Good luck and let me know if you find a fix.

    Need Adobe help to solve this. My own searches in Forums and Google all have failed.

    It is not an Adobe problem. You have a OS permissions problem. You can try to correct this by using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. It is in the First Aid area of Disk Utility.

  • All Appstore and  Mac updates Fail saying "...could not be verified or may have become corrupt"

    Recently my Mac started to become glitchy so I decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall my OSX Mountain Lion. After doing so almost all of my updates fail showing this msg "...could not be verified or may have become corrupt". Not to mention downloading updates take ridiculously long. I have 80mbps down and small updates say they could take up to 2 days. I wanted to try upgrading to the the newest OS however that also has the error msg…not to mention a 4 days estimated download!
    any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    and yes I did set my date and time to automatic.

  • IPad originally synced with PC, updates fail when on Mac

    I originally synced and stored my iPad info on a PC, then a few months later I got a MacBook Pro.  I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on Mac, iTunes 10.4.  The problem is that when I attempt to update the IOS on iPad (as I did today), the update fails, then I have to go back to the PC and do a full restore then update. 
    My question is, can I make the PC "forget," or unregister the iPad, then have sole updates/restore/sync associated to the MacBook?  I rarely use the PC, and it's just a pain in the butt to have to keep restoring from a 6 month old back up.
    Thanks for any help!!

    The iPad is designed to only be used with one computer, and there is no 'forget' option - you can copy all your iTunes content from the PC over to the Mac and start syncing from it, but you may lose all your content when you first connect it and have to re-sync it all back onto the iPad

  • Enter Machine Password DNS Update Failed on Mac Pro 10.6.6

    Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory with several PCs and 3 MACs, all three at 10.6.6.
    Only one, the Mac Pro, is slow to access network resources, gets Enter Machine Password: DNS Update Failed on Console, and is much slower to open webpages than the other 2 MACs; they work fine. I know that AD is configured right since I have no network errors on them.
    Can bind and unbind as expected, can access Mac from AD Server as well as other PC/Macs, so this issue is not like most all other posts in that everything works except slow network (opening a network share gets the spinning wait cursor).
    Any Ideas?
    TIA

    On the offending Mac open System Preferences->Network pane and highlight the port that you are connecting to the domain. Then in the right side of the pane click on the word "Advanced". In that drop-down select the DNS tab and make sure it has the same DNS that the domain uses. You can use thew + button to add the correct DNS servers. Also while in the Network pane, Advanced, select the WINS tab and fill it the appropriate settings for the Windows Domain.
    Also on the offending Mac open System Preferences->Date & Time and make sure the Map Location is correct and also you are using the same Time server that the Domain uses (you can type in the Time Server address in the Time Server field.
    Lastly are you using DHCP or Static in your Domain?
