None of the updates could be installed. Kernel panic

Today I tried to install the two updates that apple had in store for me:
IPhoto
Thunderbolt
The installer asked me to reboot and I said yes.
After a while, the installer said:
  None of the updates could be installed.
I pressed the only button: restart
After staring at the canvas background for over 5 minutes, I hard-rebooted the iMac.
Now I get a kernel panic when I boot!!!
What to do?
iMac 2011
Mac os x. Latest update
Wouter

Ditto for me: kernel panic...repeatedly.
What do I do if I am running Lion Server?!  When I attempt to reinstall Lion it tells me:
"You cannot install Mac OS X on a server volume.  You need to use Disk Utility to erase this volume before you can continue to install Mac OS X."
Well, I don't want to erase my volume...so how do I recover?
Thanks for any help, it is much, much appreciated.

  • Keep getting error: None of the selected updates could be installed. An unexpected error occurred. Please help!

    Hey I am kind of new to this forum situation, but I keep trying to install software updates on my macbook for the last two weeks and the aforementioned error (None of the selected updates could be installed. An unexpected error occurred.) keeps resulting. I would download them straight from online, but I don't know which ones to download. What should I do?

    Bring up Software Update, and when it says it has updated software to download, click the button on the left bottom of the window, might say something like show details. That will open the box to show you exactly what would download. You can then visit the Apple download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/

  • Unexpected error: None of the checked updates could be installed

    When attempting to update firmware, I get:
    unexpected error: None of the checked updates could be installed
    So, I go to the downloads section of the apple website and manually download and install it.
    However, when I run for updates, the same files show up to be downloaded.
    It's annoying, please help.

    If I´m not mistaken it means it´s not updated. maybe you could check these links to see if they´ll help you:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1557?viewlocale=en_US
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1477590
    these are the links to updates:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/macproefifirmwareu pdate13.html
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproefifirmwareupdate14.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/macbookproefifirmw areupdate151.html
    I remember reading somewhere that it´s best to have 1.0 before you upgrade to 1.3, maybe it works if you upgrade to 1.3, then 1.4 then 1.5.1
    tell me if you get any luck

  • "None of the selected updates could be installed. An unexpected error occurred."

    Whenever I tried to update my softwares, It said: "None of the selected updates could be installed. An unexpected error occurred." I don't know how to update all the softwares. I cannot connect to my printers. And I think it's becasue of the software updates. Anyone can help me, please? Plus, how do I know what operating system I have?

    Then your friend really needs to clean it up, and give you only software which he is licensed to give.    He should read my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html
    Without doing so, he probably has left have some gremlins of his own that cause problems.   Cleaning up a Mac for resale really means cleaning it up.

  • None of the selected updates could be installed.

    Installed Lion yesterday. Also installed the Java update.
    The software update feature on Lion is telling me to download updates for iTunes, HP printer stuff, etc.
    However after it finishes downloading i get the following message:
    "None of the selected updates could be installed." "Unexpected error"
    Any ideas? Its driving me nuts.
    Thanks,
    Alfonso

    I had the same problems, the only thing that worked for me, was to download the update, one by one. Odd I know, but I had problems with iWork Update 6, Remote client update, but when I did it one by one, they worked. However, iTunes 10.4 refuses to download what so ever, all I get is Installation Failed, see the manufacturer. Going to an Apple Store to see what the Geniuses can do.

  • Latest update returns error " None of the selected updates could be installed. The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."

  • When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

    When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

  • An update tries to run, but an error message stating "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." I can't open Firefox

    I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

    *Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    *Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. Do not remove personal data when uninstalling.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again"

    I'm using Firefox 4 Beta and I tryed install update but I dont got success. Now every time that I go start the browser is displayed the mensage: "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again"
    My release is installed not in default drive C:\. I installed in the other Partition on my PC.
    I don't have other release installed.

    Try a clean re-install.
    * Download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC (this is for the Firefox 4 release candidate)
    * Uninstall Firefox, do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data"
    * Delete the Firefox installation directory - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
    * Re-install Firefox
    This process does not remove the Firefox user data such as bookmarks and passwords which are stored elsewhere in the profile folder.
    You may also need to manually reset the Software Update feature by deleting the software update files as shown in the "Software Update not working properly" section here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update

  • HT1222 when I try to install updates, I get the message "None of the updates you've selected can be saved. You don't have permission."

    can anyone tell me how to bypass message "none of the updates selected can be saved. you don't have permission." I've not bee able to install iTunes or any other updates on my Mac.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • With the latest update I get the following error: The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again; suggestions, advice, help.

A green bar slides across the monitor announcing that the update is being downloaded. When I then assume it is being installed I get the following error: The update could not be installed.

  • "The update could not be installed" message

    Every time I start Firefox I get a dialog box with this message:
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure that there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer and then restart Firefox to try again. [OK button]
    I click the OK button, the box disappears, then Firefox starts up.
    It's annoying. I have tried updating Firefox in the Admin account on this computer, but even that has not worked. Why might this be happening, and what can I do about it?
    PS I don't do online forums, if you are a "Firefox expert" answering thsi question, by all means post the reply on the forum, but please also email it to me at my registration address. Thanks.

    So this is rapid updating? I had to stop using V5 because of problems. V5.01 did improve things. FF was still my default browser so I did get to follow the upgrade to V6. Now the suggestion that completely removing it and editing the registry will enable me to see if V6 is worth having. Please, this is not rapid. This is the kind of problem that stopped me using Norton, having to deal with more issues that actually using the software.
    No doubt I will attempt this sometime, by then though I may have just got used to Chrome [yuk]. It is not a good sign that being more news worthy is better than having a working product. I'm a web and app developer and it has served me well until V4 now it is just getting in the way and Mozilla seem to think that just one more rapid release [with problems like this] may just solve the problems.
    I think not after all I'm still waiting for MS to fix things that should have been better 10 years ago.
    I removed my current version. I check that the folders were gone. I reinstalled. I got an error:
    Error Platform version '5.01' is not compatible with minVersion >=6.0 maxVersion <=6.0
