My mac won't install updates?

The app store tells me to be using the account i purchased the software which I am but it still won't update garage band or imovie?

I believe these updates will come through "Apple software update" not through the App store.

  • My Mac won't install mpkg and pkg files.

    My Mac won't install mpkg and pkg files.  Whenever I double-click an pkg or mpkg file, I get the dialog box to "choose an application" to open it.   After some searching, I discovered I do not have the installer.app.  I tried to Repair Disk from my Snow Leopard DVD but every time it boots from the DVD, my computer crashes.  Any suggestions?

    You have the installer app.  It is located in /System/Library/CoreServices. 
    Use the finder's Go menu, Go to Folder... and type /System/Library/CoreServices to open the CoreServices folder.   You should see it in there. If you do not see it there then that would beg the question what else might be missing and perphas you need to do an update (re)install (or restore form a hopefully good backup).
    To try to reassoicatate .[m]pkl's with the Installer, take one of your .[m]pkg's and do a finder Get Info on it and set the Open with... to the Installer app.  If the Installer app is not shown use Other... at the bottom of the list to navigate to the CoreServices folder and select Installer.  Then click the Change All... button.
    I am not sure why your [.m]pkgs would have lost their Launch Services association with Installer in the first place (unless it really is missing).

Indesign 5.0 was working fine, i just need a couple extensions

    you can upgrade to cs6 or cc (for money).

  • After Downloading 10.5.2 Update, Computer Won't Install Update, Just Sits?

    +*Hi, I have a Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.1 Leopard. I recently tried to download the 10.5.2 Update, it downloaded successfuly, but when I try to install it, it sits and the loading bar doesn't move at all. I've let it sit for several hours (12 to be exact) and it didn't move at all. I force-shut down the computer, but now I can't re-download it. The update for my computer is 182 MB. How do I fix this?*+

    There are two possibilities: You download is corrupted.
    You can download the full 10.5.2 update here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1052comboupdate .html
    and install it.
    The other possibility is that if you have installed the recent TimeMachine/Airport update it probably won't instal anyway. There are many threads here about it. You should look them over.

  • IMac G5 iSight won't shut down, won't install updates

    Hi all,
    My iMac G5 (iSight) is giving me some grief.
    First, some details:
    OSX 10.5.7
    I have been trying to update this machine and have successfully updated a few things, such as iTunes, iLife, etc. Updates that don't require a restart seem to go just fine. I am unable to install updates to QT7, Safari because the installer hangs up while "Configuring Installation" and won't go any further, no matter how long you leave it.
    This iMac also will not shut down. The finder icons disappear, the desktop image remains, and the grey spinning wheel goes on and it will simply not shut down until forced using the power button.
    It is starting and functioning otherwise with no problems.
    I have disconnected it from drives and and the network in case there was something on the network keeping it, but no luck. I have run Disk Utility and repaired permissions, reset the PRAM and the SMU, as well. No joy. Incidentally, my partner's MacBook Air is also having the exact same problem as this iMac (I posted as well in the MBA forums), but my own laptop, the one I'm using now (details below) is having no problem at all and all updates have taken.
    Has anyone any suggestions about anything else I can try to clear this issue before I ring Applecare tomorrow?
    Many thanks!

    Hi Miriam,
    I've just tried to run a Hardware Test but the disk is clearly from an older iMac I once had (pre-iSight) because it doesn't want to know about it. I have doubts about it being a logic board problem, however, because I'm having the same problems with a MacBook Air (but not my MacBook Pro) and it only started after a recent round of updates. Worrying, yes, but apart from not installing updates that require a restart or simply shutting down both machines seem to be performing perfectly. It's a bit confusing.
    Thanks!

  • My Macbook Won't Install updates

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro and it won't automatically update the software. It looks like it downloads the software but then just quits and never ends up installing.

    It never automatically updates the software, updates do need to be preformed manually. Try logging out of the app store, restarting the computer, and logging back in. Then run your updates again

    Boot from that install disc, run Disk First Aid and repair your permissions.

  • Itunes won't install update to recognize my iphone comes up with a error cannot find Itunes.msi

    my itunes won't instal the update errors saying cannot find itunes.msi

    Hi, kdub5.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you can not update iTunes due to a .msi error.  I would recommend uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components as outlined in the first article below.  For any component that gives you the .msi error, go through the steps in the second article below.  
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows
    Cheers,

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Won't Install Updates?

    I've received some notifications about installing updates for this product, but every time I try, it seems to be downloading, and then gives me the error page that essentially goes as:
    Some updates failed to install
    He following updates were unable to install. If you wish to install these updates, please fic the problems below and retry.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update
    There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
    And then I get the same message for a Photoshop Camera Raw 6.5 Update.
    When I looked at the customer service link, it took me to a page discussing the product not being qualified with a serial number or some such. Except, I have registered the product, and there doesn't appear to be any prompt to re-submit the serial number.
    Is this something to do with the creative cloud not upgrading products not part of the suite? Something else? I appreciate any and all responses.
    Thank you

  • Acrobat won't install updates

    I have installed Adobe creative suite 3 and adobe acrobat 9
    standard. Every time acrobat starts it tells me updates are
    available do you wish to install. I say yes and it tells me that it
    must shut down acrobat to do this. Do you want to continue or
    cancel? I hit continue, it shuts down acrobat and then 30 seconds
    later tells me it was unable to shut down acrobat and that it will
    not install updates. For some reason the installer thinks Acrobat
    is running whenever it tries to install updates even if it is not.
    We have reinstalled my adobe creative suite package and this
    allowed me to run updates in acrobat one time. 2 weeks later I am
    not able to install updates again. Any thoughts on what this could
    be? I am running windows XP.

    Hi,
    These are the forums for acrobat.com so you may have better
    luck at the acrobat forums

    Thanks for your feedback. I tried doing what you suggested. (It turns out that I actually have acrobat 8.1.0 standard)Acrobat tells me I need to install security update 8.1.2. I download this file from the link you sent me and tried to install it manually. Now I get a warning that tells me the window installer cannot install update because the program is missing or upgrade patch may be for a different version.
    Any thoughts

  • Apps won't install/update. Low memory.

    For ipod touch 4g...using iOS 5.1--can someone tell me why my apps won't install all of a sudden? I thought it might be a memory problem since the diagnostic says my mem is low, but closing all apps in the dock didn't help. Neither did restarting or resetting the ipod.

    It shows that I have 14.3GB free. What happens is that whenever I try to install an app it stays at the 'waiting' stage for a really long time. Then when I erase the app and try to reinstall it tells me that the app has already been downloaded and that I should check for available downloads. Installing the app from the computer works fine, but I don't understand why I can't do it from the ipod anymore.
