Not able to down load software updates for months...How can this be corrected?

I have an iMac and am running Mac OSX 10.8.6. Have not been able to download software updates since May. Have tried many times. Receiving the following error message: "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." How can I correct this problem???

Hi,

I need to update iTunes so that I can update my iPad. However, my emac tells me that I can't update iTunes until I update to 10.5. However my apple menu software update says "your software is up to date". Help!

You have to purchase major version upgrades. If you don't have an Intel model, then you can look for Leopard on eBay or Amazon.com. Be sure to purchase only a full retail installer.
If you have an Intel model, then purchase Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store instead - $29.00.

I am not able to down load the updated version. I have tried several times, the filed is saved many times, but it seems not to update. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to update Firefox, but am unable to. I have gone through all of the steps and it seems to not update. I have saved your files several time due to my many tires but the update seems not to go through. What am I doing wrong?

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*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.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

Cannot down load mandatory update for version 2.3.0.0 adobe air for adobe_com error 16820

cannot download mandatory update 2.3.0.0 adobe air for adobe_com error message 16820

it turned out that the "acrobat_com" that I was trying to update, was so
outdated that adobe was no longer supporting it, there fore I got the
error message when I tried to do the "mandatory" update. It had to be
uninstalled, and then the new one installed from the Adobe web site.
Thanks for your interest and your attempt to help me.

Can you try to download the latest AIR runtime from http://get.adobe.com/air/ ? Make sure all applications are closed when you run the installer.

The download button will be disabled if you are not on a WiFi connection at the present time.
My 4G/LTE connection is actually faster than my available WiFi (in this present location), but those are the rules...

That message is listed in two scripts on the bank's site. One function that can display the message is named PhotoRotator and the other is named PromoRotator. However, I can't seem to trigger the error myself.

iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
After looking through the above link, and still doesn't help then try this below:
> iTunes Content: Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> Non-iTunes Content: Transfer them from a different iDevice or from USB flash drive and/or external hard drive.
I don't use iTunes Match so I don't really know.

After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message. This didn't used to happen. How can this be corrected?

When you right (control) click on the disk and click eject "disk name", do you pull it immeadiatly or wait a few seconds for it to unmount? Try waiting and see if you get the same message. If you do, when the disk is connected go to applications/utilities/disk utility, after opening DU, select the volume in question from the left side bar and try a permissions repair, you may also run verify disk and see if it comes up with any errors (they will be in red)
