Mac OS X 10.6 will not install updates

I continue to get an error message when installing software updates for Java Update 10 and iTunes telling me the selected updates could not be installed due to an unknown error.

Thank you. By realizing I was able to install the updates individually from the apple website, I discovered that one of the updates apple was trying to install was Airport Utility 6.1, even though I am running Snow Leopard. It apparenly requires 10.7.3 and up. The software update console doesn't seem to recognize this in its search for updates. Thanks again.  -ss

    Do you think it is because I have MacKeeper?

    Hi Drew,
    I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
    I even avoid linking to sites that advertise it.
    You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
    Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

  • Updater will not install updates from Firefox

    Windows XP, click on Help, About Firefox, Check for updates. They download. Then I click on Apply update. A window appears saying "updater.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Then I may choose whether to send the error report.
    There has been no update. It will not install.
    Why does this happen? The only way I can get updates from Firefox is to go to Mozilla.com and download.
    I tried the troubleshooting tips in Firefox Help and nothing worked.

    I should have explained that this has been going on for a long time. When I first installed Firefox several years ago their updates installed fine.
    Then they no longer would install, starting in July 2007 when they downloaded Firefox 2.0.0.4. After they installed that, Firefox would not even open, and I got an error message. I had to uninstall and reinstall.
    I figured out over time that I would have to go to their website and download the updates myself, each time they announced that an update needed to be installed. It would then install fine. And Firefox would open as it should. This has been the case for a long time.
    So it does work out doing it this way. It is something of a nuisance, and it would be nice if the updates worked smoothly and automatically, as they used to.
    I thought this might be some problem others users have had and would know how to fix it.
    Thank you.

  • HT1199 my mac pro will not install updates or new software such as printers what could be the problem

    I have tried to complete updates and install software and for some reason it will not update or install new software such as a printer.  What could be the problem

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • HT1338 my macbook will not install updates

    My computer will check for updates then it makes a list of available updates and even looks like its going to install them but after a few minutes pass it just say that it was unable to update
    I have a hp that i use alot so I probably missed some previous updates i dont know but would love to be able to update my safari and itunes for sure
    thank you

    Joey, greetings;  You certainly are correct:  With that said, I did download from two sources on the Internet and got this response:
    Clearly both times I should have checked if it was OS or Windows.  Not having I need for this application, it was a failure to pursue a thorough investigation.
    Perhaps though this is one of the problems that melaniefromkaufman is having.  I still hope that melaniefrokaufman will provide us with additional information.
    Thanks for keeping me honest.
    Ciao.

  • Iphoto will not install update from 9.3.2 to 9.4.2

    I have a new MacMini. Just ran updates per the App Store. iPhoto '11 will not update from 9.3.2 to 9.4.2. I've JUST gotten this Mac, and I don't have any photos loaded at all. None. I click on "Update" in App Store, and it reports "An error has occured" (LOVE the passive voice...the error just 'occured' - nobody's fault...move along...nothing to see here).
    The only thing I haven't tried is deleting iPhoto and reinstalling it. Is that my only/best option?
    Thanks!

  • Mac Audio Driver (for Screenflow) will not install

    I have downloaded a program called Screenflow, which records video and audio of my desktop. It used to work fine with my MacBook Pro but it doesn't work with my new iMac (Lion). The program is supposed to record the computer audio, and when I try to enable it, it asks me to accept it installing the audio driver for it. However, when I click install and enter the passport, it says it is unable to install it. What can I do?
    Thank you very much.

  • Flash player will not install blank installer, full download? tool remove remnants of flash?

    Windows 7 64bit, Firefox,Explorer, Chrome
    For the longest time flash player will not install (updates for upgrades).
    If I go to the main page I can download the 1mb file then open it up and the installer box opens but never does anything and is just black except the top bar. I can't even close it out. I have to "end task" it. I has been going on for a year or so.  I usually have to find a link to the full installer version but can't find it anymore.
    Is there a tool to remove all remnants of Adobe flash player?
    Link to full installer version of player?
    I tried uninstalling all versions but still the same problem
    Thanks

    The installer works for the vast majority of people.  We serve up something like 1.2 billion installs every months, so a failure rate of even 0.0001 is > 100,000 people.  We're not seeing that kind of traffic about this issue.
    As the installer isn't dependent on Flash Player, and it doesn't leave anything around beyond a log file, it's unlikely that blowing Flash Player completely away would resolve anything, and it sounds like your efforts bear that out.  There's something underneath us that's not working right.  With Mac, it's usually corrupted NVRAM settings, but I'm not sure what it is on Windows.  My guess is that it's related to the graphics subsystem, but it's not something that I've seen happen under lab conditions, and we'd need to debug it to get a definitive answer.
    So, I have a couple suggestions in order of least to most effort:
    Switch to Google Chrome. 
    Flash Player is a built-in component, so there's nothing separate to download or maintain.  Updates happen automatically as part of the standard Chrome update process, so you never have to touch another Adobe installer if you don't want to.
    Scan your hard disk for errors, run the Windows system file checker, and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for your system
    Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    Back up all of your stuff (ideally to both a disk and an online backup service for redundancy), wipe the machine and do a fresh install of Windows

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

  • I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    More information would be good.
    What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
    so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install. 
    Again, what exactly is happening?
    And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

    you can try to login to Root user account and then run the cleaner tool , and then check.
