Network Error when trying to update software

I get new software notifications (safari, itunes, Mac os etc) but when I try to install I get the below error.
'A network error has occurred: cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you are connected to the internet and try again'.
The thing is my internet is working fine and I have tried rebooting numerous times but still get the same error. I was able to get round this for the safari update by downloaded directly from the apple website but would really like to get it sorted so I can download all the regular updates.
You advise will be much appreciated

I was having the same issue.... I could connect to the Internet without any problems using Safari, but Software Update could NOT connect, and reported the same network error Chidstar is getting.
I rebooted, tried another user account - nothing helped. Then, I tried again out of sheer desperation an hour later, and Software Update worked!
Now I wonder if it was just timing out too soon on the previous occasion... perhaps due to a slow network connection earlier in the day?
Chidstar - I wonder if deleting your cache files might help? See this note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23407?viewlocale=en_US

Network Error when trying to update (-3001)

I get this error when I try to download and update my machine through Software Update:
*A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.*
Why would this be?

This worked but still didn't solve the problemmo. I'm also having a problem with an application, but only in my (admin) user account, which I use. It's an app called Lineform which is having an Undo problem, which seems to work fine in my other account. So it's specific to my user account. How could I resolve this? have repaired permissions,cleared prefs and cache, reinstalled, all of that.
Basically the app works fine in another account (test), I can also do a software update in the (test) account. My daily usage account however, is giving some problems.
Is it advisable to create a new user account and just migrate all my info across? Would this solve anything?
Thanks,
Mark

System error when trying to update software

Hi please help me ... why is a system error only comin up when i tryin to install updates for iphoto etc

You do not have enough hard drive space to install all those applications. Reason why you are unable to install.
You need to first do some serious housekeeping. So forget what I said previously for the time being. First things first: Make room!
================
Empty the trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the [b]Command+j[/b] keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box. Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).
Get rid of all your music files you no longer listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CDs and/or DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is *free*!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs.
Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD to store their "stuff, junk, music & photos".
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. I store all 5000+ of my music & 500+ music videos in my ISP storage bin. There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine, to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidentally threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue. You can do this with a *FREE* utility called http://monolingual.sourceforge.netMonolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly. However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).
Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.
====================
After you make room on your HD, try updating from SU again.
For repairing permissions, detailed instructions are in the OS Help menu.
Short version: Go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and select your volume and then select Repair Permissions.

Error when trying to update or download any app

I'm getting an Error when trying to update or download any app from Mac App Store
Every time I try to update xCode to version 6.2 but I get this error :
The server gave an error during download: 503 Service Unavailable.
So I tried to download a random app from the App Store but I got the same error message.
So any advices ?

Hello HusseinAlBehary,
Sorry to hear your troubles updating and downloading apps from the Mac App Store. Based on when you were doing that, it looks like the Mac App Store was experiencing difficulties. It is not currently so you should be able to upgrade with out issues now. If you experience this in the future, look at the page below to start you on figuring out if it is something on your end or Apple’s end.

Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

Errors when trying to update cs6 13.4 (I think) on Mac osx 10.8.4

Errors when trying to update cs6 13.4 (I think) on Mac osx 10.8.4.
I have a purchased copy. Downloaded patch which also does not work. Very frustrating.

is that photoshop cs6?
if yes, and you're trying to update to 13.1.2 from 13.0.1.2, uninstall ps cs6. reinstall using adobe application manager. close aam immediately after ps cs6 completes its installation.
open ps cs6, click help>updates and select 13.1.2. do not update to 13.0.1.2, first.
