OSX 10.4 update to 10.4.3 - won't install

Hello, I'm a newbie trying to upgrade my G5 imac from 10.4 to the 10.4.3 download that I have, I had downloaded this a couple months ago and can't seem to figure out how to get it going. The Hard Drive has 233 GB/82.8 GB free but it won't install the upgrade it says I need 292 MB of space... I am unsure how to interpret this in English and am very appreciative of any assistance.

jbmcnabb,
Why not download and install the most recent version of OS X? If you have a decent internet connection, just skip that troublesome update and use the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC, and Security Update 2006-003 Mac OS X 10.4.6 Client (PPC) to bring your OS up to date.
Software Installation Quick Assist will have additional helpful information.

Try quitting Pages on the iPad, restart the iPad - and then see if the app works OK.
To quit Pages - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

HT200189 Why the VPN update for OS X server won't install?

Hello
Why the VPN update for OS X server won't install. It says "VPN update for OS X server can't be installed on the disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update" Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Is OS X Server setup on your MBP as an actual Server running the Services or are you just using it so you can remotely manage another Mac running OS X Server services?

Note: the update will only install if you have already launched Server app and used it to set up services.

After updating OS X Mavericks it won't install or shut down

I was on my MacBook Pro and it said that my OSX Mavericks needed to be updated and that the update need a restart. I clicked the update button and it brought me to a loading screen that said "Installing Software Update" but it's been installing for hours. The loading bar won't move and therefore the update won't install. Whenever I click anyone the buttons, including the manual off button, makes a sound and does nothing. It wasn't plugged in for hours and the status hasn't changed. Are there any combinations or ideas on how I can actually use my computer?

Hold the Power button pressed until your Mac turns off completely. Note that if you just press it your Mac will just go to sleep mode or only the display will turn off, so it is necessary to keep it pressed for about 10 seconds. Then, turn it on again

10.5.3 Update on Macbook Pro Hangs -- won't install

I am trying to install the 10.5.3 MacBook Pro Update from Software Update. The update downloads successfully, then asks for restart. I confirm, and then the screen clears, and I get a installation progress dialog that hangs indefinitely saying "Configuring Installation". No progress at all -- it just stays there. A hard boot is required, after which I can try the whole cycle again, with the same results.
I've tried this three times, same result. I've used my install disk to repair disk and repair permissions (there were no errors), still no change. I have no peripheral devices attached to my computer except USB keyboard / mouse and an Apple Cinema display connected via the DVI port.
If anyone has an answer / ideas, I'm all ears. Work just came to a grinding halt.

ITunes Update 10.6.0.40 Won't Install

When attempting to update from iTunes 10.5.3.3 to 10.3.0.40 I get the error message:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
When I click on BROWSE and select the iTunes.msi file (tried both the original download and using the "Download Only" option)

Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix / get around it?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

IM27-inch imac Firmware update for OS X Lion won't install

Apple just released "iMac Graphic FW Update 3.0," and lists OS X 10.7 as a system requirement.
I downloaded it and attempted to install on my one-month-old 27-inch iMac (2.7 gHz Core i5). I'm running 10.7.1
Unfortunately, I get a message that "This software is not supported on your system."
Any clues as to what the issue may be? Am I missing something simple?
(All other programs were closed.)
Thanks for any tips/advice!

Dave,
You are correct. If Software update says it's not needed then it's not needed on the OP's configuration. I was able to find this article however it's not conclusive about which GPU's are affected, it only says Radeon but doesn't nail down specifics.

I'm trying to update my firefox but it won't install. There are no other versions firefox running. I get to the point of apply update, I have tried restarting my computer multiple times. I have an iMac. I use OS X 10.9.2

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best 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 application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 28.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.

Any suggestions?

Hi, Colin,
My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
(Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
To start, try the following:
1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
2. Open Java Preferences again
3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
Plugin and Applications)
4. Open Terminal
5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
6. Try to start CF again
This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
and easier).
If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
/Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
necessary!
Best,
Craig

I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on. I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install. I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software. My machine is about 8 months old.

I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on. I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install. I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software. My machine is about 8 months old so, it's in the newish range. HELP!

Sometimes the App Store version doesn't work correctly. In this case, install 10.8.4 with the Combo version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Osx 10.6 update problem

Can't update osx 10.6

OK, gotcha.
When you tried to re-install the OS, did you erase the HDD before continuing with the installation? I'm presuming here that the original install discs are 10.6.x. It matters, because a standard re-installation only replaces system files, and if the current system has been updated (to 10.6.8 in this case) it may not be able to. Don't update to 10.6.8 before running the Applications disc; it should be done immediately when prompted by the installer.
Erasing the HDD with Disk Utility from the installer disc should allow a complete fresh start. If the Application disc still fails check it for damage or dirt and clean it carefully.
If you can't get it to work, double check the optical drive with ordinary DVDs (though it's unlikely to be the problem if the installer works).
If it does appear to be a duff disc you can order another one from Apple Customer services; they'll charge about $16.
Last resort is a retail copy of iLife'09 from Amazon MP et al - more expensive and will get even more expensive as iLife is no longer sold on DVD by Apple.
iLife '11 is also available on Amazon, but lacks iWeb.

Downloaded OSX updates won't install - disk doesn't meet requirements

I also posted this in the Mac Mini section, so please excuse the double posting.
Brand new Mac Mini 2012 2.3 quad Core i7. When attempting to install any Mountain Lion updates downloaded from Apple support site (10.8.2 combo, 10.8.2, or 10.8.2 Supplemental update), installers will not proceed and says "Can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements..."
Happened on two identical brand new mac Minis with no other data on them, and Apple senior tech support said they had never seen it and had nothing else to try after wiping the drives and reinstalling several times.
App Store was not showing updates, so I downloaded and tried to install from installers on Apple's download site (never worked). When App store eventually found and installed the 10.8.2 update (after OSX reinstall) , the 10.8.2 supplemental update did not show up.
Just curious if anyone else has seen or could duplicate this issue.

Has anyone else noticed that Software Update is not requiring a password to install updates?

I noticed this started after the 10.6.6 update on all my Macs. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thomas A Reed wrote:
The whole point of the password is to prevent software from installing without the user or admin definitively accepting that it is ok to do so.
Actually, it is to give access to areas that you don't normally have access to, and in the case of updates coming straight from Apple and installed from an admin account, it has been deemed safe not to request a password. I believe those updates are verified by the system somehow, so they cannot be malicious unless someone hacks Apple, and then you'd still think nothing of giving your password anyway. There's no reason to ask for a password in this case.
I understand this. It protects the "protected" parts of the system. But I still think that you should have the last say even if Apple is as trusted as they are. At the end of the day it is still your computer. I deal with hardware that requires firmware and software on a regular basis, and just because the company says it is ok to do an update, does not always make it appropriate to do so. A lot of times it causes more harm then good. There have been several cases (like iPhoto) recently where you may want to hold off on an update, and allowing all the packages to install in a bundle without a password opens you up for potential issues.
Thomas A Reed wrote:
anyone can come along in your house and run updates without your knowledge
If you've got untrusted people using your admin account, you have bigger problems than someone installing an Apple software update without your knowledge. If you are security-minded, you don't do that, and thus this issue becomes moot, and if you're not security-minded, then the issue is moot because you don't care enough to secure your computer.
Perhaps that read different from how it was intended to sound. My intention for that statement was not to suggest that I do not fully trust my family, but rather that they may not know what they are doing. Surely you have someone in your family that comes to you for computer advice? The password was an added security feature that gave me piece of mind from one of those "I don't know what just happened all I did was..." moments. If I wasn't security minded, do you think I would waste my time expressing an opinion about a security issue?
Thomas A Reed wrote:
this opens a door for OSX to automatically add these updates in the future without your consent as long as Apple deems them appropriate
Don't you think that's a little paranoid? Why would Apple do that? Microsoft tries to copy Apple, not the other way around.
Actually no I don't think it is paranoid. I do agree that Microsoft copies Apple in every which way they can, and I am a 100% non-Windows household. I simply see this as a potential pitfall that Apple has opened up. Even though I do love, admire, and trust Apple, at the end of the day they are a business, and in such a decision could be made to "protect" its user base by allowing OSX to automatically add any updates they deem necessary whenever they want in order to "protect" the perception of their product. As I stated above, not all updates are wanted right away.
