Mac OS X 10.4.6 (intel) update wont install

This update wouldnt work through the auto update, and wont work from the website..
it gets to about 30% installed/verified then says an unexpected error has occoured - getting very annoyed now.

Hello pez:
If you have not already done so, you should have a good backup/restore strategy. I make bootable clones (on an external firewire drive) of my iMacs before every software update. I use a little program called SuperDuper ($28 US at www.shirt-pocket.com). In that way, I always have a retreat position in case of hardware or software problems.
The failure of the disk repair was where I was headed - you probably have directory problems. If Apple's repair disk does not fix the problem, the next thing I would suggest is to use a robust third party program. Many people here (including me) use DiskWarrior (pricey at about $90 US, but very very good).
You do need to fix the problems.
You should also run the hardware checker that came with your software to rule out hardware problems. If you installed third party memory, remove it and see if the problem goes away. If all else fails, I would then consider an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
A&I will install a fresh copy of OS X while preserving your programs, files, and settings. Do back up before you do any software changes.
As an aside, the software update feature is not at the root of your problems. That feature has worked very well for many iterations of releases. I do not, however, let anything happen on my computers automatically - I always look to see what is going to happen first.

Pro applications update wont install

pro applications update wont install
has anyone had this problem, or does anyone know a solution?

I'm having this same problem. After installing Logic Studio last night I ran Software Update which updated my software but skipped ProApplications Update 2007-1. It went straight to ProApplications Update 2007-2 and told me there was an error installing Update 2007-1. So I came here, downloaded Updated 2007-1 on its own and installed it without a problem. Now whenever I run Software Update it tries to install ProApplications Updated 2007-2 but tells me there is an error. I tried the link to the update and am redirected to a Final Cut Studio page and asked for my Final Cut Studio serial number--but I don't have Final Cut Studio. I have Logic Studio.
Any suggestions on how to rectify this?

Can't repair disk permissions, System Updates wont install

Hi there,
I wondered, why any system update wont install on my MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.5. So I tried to repair disk permissions which causes an error that calls something like "there is an error in quitting the process" (sorry ... have only the german version, so this is nearly what it says).
Repairing the permissions from a Leopard DVD ends up the same way.
Repairing the harddisk works fine.
Updating the 10.5.5 Combo Update quits with an error that says "The Installation package couldn't install some of the files in "/". Contact the Manufacturer."
Any ideas what this could be ? Thought it startet a couple of days ago with the installation of a new Java Version, but I'm not sure if this causes any problems.
Thanks for any suggestions

ok,
I've found this in the logfiles:
Started verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD
Error -9972: The underlying task reported failure on exit
Finished verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD
Error detected while verifying/repairing permissions on disk0s2 Macintosh HD: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
Repairing the keychains worked fine but didn't solve the problem at all.

Mac Os 9.1 update wont install

Well I got the update from here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288
and when I transfered the file to the desktop it tells me this
"The documentMacOS_9.1Update.smi.bin[] could not be opened, because the application program that created it could not be found." My iMac is a G3 CRT and its running 9.0.4

Hi, Frank -
One of the differences between OS 9 download updates and installing off of a CD is that the download updates do not include any ability to install or update Language Kits.
There is a major change of Language Kit versions betwen OS 9.0.4 (and earlier) and OS 9.1 (and later) - the earlier version Language Kits are not usable in OS 9.1. When using an OS 9.1 Install CD, any installed kits can be updated; however, since the OS 9.1 download updater does not include that ability, they will refuse to run.
The primary solution is to use an OS 9.0.4 or earlier OS 9 Install CD to remove the Language Kits. Since you apparently do not have such a CD, you will need to use a different method.
• Restart the machine, immediately press the Option and Spacebar keys, keep them held down until the desktop has fully loaded. This will prevent the OS from loading any installed Language Kits.
• Locate and open the System file - it is loose in the System Folder; just double-click that file.
• In that file will appear three types of files: keyboard layouts, represented by a document icon with a glyph of a keyboard added to it; sound files, represented by a document icon with the glyph of a speaker added to it; and Worldscript files, represented by a document icon with the glyph of a globe added to it.
• Drag all of the Worldscript files (the ones with a globe on the icon) out of the System file. You could save them in an external folder; but, since they will not be re-usable in OS 9.1 or later, there's little point in doing that - throwing them away is okay.
• Close the System file, then do a normal restart.
You should now be able to install the OS 9.1 update.
Note - if you do need to have certain Language Kits installed, you will need to acquire a retail OS 9.1 Install CD - there is no other source for them (they are not available as downloads).

Software Updates wont install - it just reboots when try to

Hi!
Suddenly after no problem since 2007 I have this issue that when updates are presented via Software Updates, those updates that i have to click on "restart" button, wich loggs me out and then the updates supposed to install - but! Before they install the system just reboots as if the updates couldnt install and then my Mac just reboots. So for a time now i have to install the updates manually, wich is annoying.
Anyone heard of this before? Tried to repair permissons but no luck

Repair permissions is in Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility under the First Aid section. You have to select the hard drive icon within Disk Utility to get Repair permissions to be possible to select. Most updates don't need it. Occasionally when you install new software issues may arise that make permissions go bad, which affects future software updates. This is the pitfall of using any third party software that most users learn about. It might never progress because of permissions, or a hard disk that is too full, or a corrupt download if you don't have high speed internet to get it from.

New updater wont install

so, im having problems with the 2006-01-10 like many people. ive tried everything i can and everything on this website that was suggested. im trying to get rid of all ipod and itunes software, and i think i did. however everytime i try to install the 2005-11-17 updater, it installs the 2006-01-10 updater instead. i know that this updater isnt installed anywhere on my computer, and i dont even have itunes anymore. this problem has been going on for a while, is apple even acknowledging this as a problem? if so, will there be a new update to correct there problems? is there any hope of saving my ipod, can anyone help me?!?!

Just to add to the advice already given:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Aurora update wont install

Aurora is trying to install update 30.0a2. It downloads a 3.4 mB file but the install fails. It then downloads the 36mb file which still wont install.
If I try and download from scratch I run the file firefox-30.0a2.en_US.win32.installer-stub.exe. When that runs I get a message in 7 -zip "cannot create temp archive folder"
where next

Hi,
Have you tried running the install file as Administrator? Right click > Run as administrator
Also, try downloading the full version instead of the compressed installer
*http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/
You want the ''firefox-30.0a2.en-US.win32.installer.exe'' located near the bottom.
P.S. This error message comes from the stub file that tries to unpack the archive to start the installation and creates a folder in the temp folder to do this and seems to fail to complete this operation.

Reformatted Computer but Software Updates Wont Install

I just took my macbook pro to the apple store yesterday and they said there was a software issue and they wiped out the whole computer. I got it back and reinstalled the applications disc and did a software update but it wont install. The error message says that the files could have been corrupted during downloading and it will check for updates the next time around....i tried about 3 times and the same result. any suggestions?

Which application discs and software updates are you writing about? Are these 3rd-party apps or the Apple supplied ones? Are the updates from the Software Update program? Did you try checking SU out at the store? Do you have a bootable backup./clone or Time Machine backup of your previous installation? Many missing details.

Hi jamb,
ExportPDF is a separate from Reader, and there are no updates to install there, as it's a web-based application. What version of reader do you have X or XI? I would suggest uninstalling the version of Reader that you have, and reinstalling the latest update from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I recently installed 10.5.1, and after the install... it never reboots, it just hangs.

4.08 update wont install

My phone had the gingerbread update last night and phone was working normal today (with the exception of low space icon which had previously been popping up despite space being available) and then tonight I get a OTA for 4.08, press install and my phone tells me that I don't have enough internal storage for the update to complete. I have 557 MB of internal storage free (73%), have deleted over half my apps since the gingerbread update, have cleared data and cache from apps, don't use the stock email app and have very few text messages saved so I'm not understanding how I don't have enough internal storage. Has anyone else experienced this or have any insight into it? -_-

I'm having the same issue. I quite often get the "low space" notification, which I get rid of by clearing data from my applications, though it seems ridiculous, because I have a high amount of available space, like everyone else. But the new update to 4.08 came and won't install. The solutions provided in the pop-up (clear mail from Gmail, Outlook, etc.) are impossible, because the "Clear Data" option for those apps is greyed out. Also, I'm not deleting email that I deliberately saved just for an update.
This whole thing is ridiculous. We clearly have space on our phones, of all kinds, including RAM, but the space is low? This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
I found that if I factory reset my phone, it allowed me to update without the low space notifciation. It sucks, but at least the update came through successfully.
