Software update doesn't let me update anything after installing Snow Leopar

Hi there,
I have just upgraded my iMac from Leopard OS X v10.5.8 to Snow Leopard OS X v10.6, straight from the DVD. The installation went well, but my Magic Mouse was not working properly, so I ran Software Update to see if I needed a new update for the Magic Mouse. Software Update came up with a few things for me to update, but when I click the Install button it greys out for a few seconds, then comes back to normal. It doesn't ask me for any passwords or anything, just doesn't work. It's like I haven't even clicked the install button.
I have tried everything, reinstalled Snow Leopard, restored to Leopard again and installed Snow Leopard again, still the same problem. So I tried the manual downloads from Apple. They don't work either. I cannot install anything. Can't install OS X v10.6.1 nor OS X v10.6.2 nor OS X v10.6.3, not any of the the Combos Update either.
Disk Utility says the HD seems to be ok. I have tried repairing permissions, that doesn't do anything either. Could anyone help me, please? I have looked for answers everywhere in this discussion forum.
Many Thanks

What happens when you try to run those installers?
Have you used the Console Utility to see if there are any messages that explain the problem?

Same problem for me.
1. Cannot connect to wifi as icloud password pop up keeps appearing.
2. tried deleting account. UNable to do so.
3. tried resetting password by logging into apple id through desktop as mentioned in one of the responses in another thread. Unfortunately the apple id to be reset is the same as being prompted by icloud and hence unable to reset the same.
Feel like breaking the **** ipad into bits. Stupid of apple to let such a bug in and not offer support !!

Make sure you have signed-in your iTunes and authorized the computer.
Go to iTunes menu EDIT > PREFERENCES > DEVICES tab and check the Box "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically then OK.
As long as you don't sync your devices, iTunes will not wipe out music from your iPod. Now connect your iPod and do the Purchase transfer only.

A pop up appeared and it doesn't disappeared even though I press the "ok" of the pop up and it doesn't let me do anything else. I can't even turn it off. What can I do?

This isn't the solution, but I would just let it run out of battery.
It would turn off on its own then just start charging it again
Hope this helped

I've been using it on all of my computer without any problems. Remember you won't see any positive comments here. Everyone here is complaining about a problem. If you want a good experience with any upgrade or update first make a backup from which you can boot the computer. If you are installing an update, like 10.10.3 for example, always download and install the Combo Updater - OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update. Before you install any update or upgrade over an existing system you should do this:Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Assuming you updated the OS on a Mac that has iWeb installed you will find iWeb in the applications folder. See this page for how to open your website when using Mountain Lion...

My iphone 4 doesn't let me update to ios? WHY

i go to settings and go to software update and it doesn't let me download it. It just says this update requires at least 3.7 GB of availble storage! Please help because if i don't have the software update to ios i can't download anything!!!!! Which makes me really ******.

If you are trying to do a Wifi download, you will need to free up space on your phone. Try updating through iTunes on your computer, that does not require the space needed on the phone. However, your profile shows you have iOS 7.1 which is the latest update.

ITunes claims my 5th gen ipod has old software, but won't let me update

I have two ipods... one an old 3rd gen scroll wheel ipod that just seemed to go kaput... it wasn't showing up in the iTunes source list or on my desktop. So I followed some directions on the apple site to try to restore it:
"Step 1
Delete the file using Terminal
Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
Type: sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/iPodDriver.kext
Press Return.
Enter the administrator account password when prompted.
Quit Terminal.
Restart the computer (From the Apple menu, choose Restart).
Step 2
Reinstall iTunes
Download the latest version of iTunes from the iTunes download page.
Install iTunes.
Restart the computer after the installation has completed.
Connect iPod.
Step 3
Delete the iPod.plist file
Remove the following file in the your home directory and launch the iPod updater again
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ipod.plist"
Anyway none of this worked for my old ipod (I think it's dead) but here's my new problem. Since I did this I plugged in my new ipod, 5th gen black 60g, and I got an error message that said:
"Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the iPod "Honey" because your iPod software is too old. Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click Update to get the latest iPod software update."
When I went to the Summary page the whole "Version" section is grayed out and it says "Your iPod is up to date."
What is going on and how can I fix it?
iPod 5th gen 60g/powerbook g4 1.33ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am having the same problem. I'm wanting to update to iOS 7, the 'Update Now' button is available, but it says I can't download due to no Internet connection. I DO have an Internet connection, but either way it won't let me update. Help!

Software Update doesn't show all updates?

I'm setting up a PowerBook G4 with 10.4, starting with a basic install of 10.4.0 on a blank disk, then using Software Update to tell me what's needed to bring it up-to-date. After a couple of rounds of installations (starting with 10.4.10) and restarts, I began to wonder: Why haven't I seen any AirPort updates in Software Update? The AirPort utilities now installed are v.4.1.1; I have installers for 4.2 and two related items: AirPort Update 2005-001 and Security Update 2006-005. Why doesn't Software Update list these? What else is Software Update not telling me? If I can't count on Software Update to tell me everything I need, what good is it? Anyone have any thoughts?

Well, yes, I guess that's why the installer for Security Update 2006-005 tells me it cannot install because "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." However, the Combo update does not include AirPort 4.2 or the AirPort Update 2005-001, but Software Update does not suggest installing them, though there's an AirPort Extreme card in the PowerBook (in fact, that's what I'm using to run Software Update). I did install them, but had I been relying entirely on Software Update, I wouldn't have known about them.

Problems with credit card or removed credit number and itunes doesn't let you update/download already purchased items - what is that about?!

I took my credit card number off b/c I was having problems with it and I was waiting for a new card , and itunes would not let me update and already purchased apps and TV seasons! What is that all about?!

I just called the 1-800-My-Apple and the said there is really nothing they can do about it. They said I had an outstanding payment of $8.54 (or something like that), I said I know b/c of the problem I am having with my bank, but NO previous completed purchases should have anything to do with this outstanding payment . It should not keep me from being able to update or download previously completely paid apps, TV Shows, or movies - they are mine, and I paid for them. I submitted a complaint.. that just isn't right!

MacBookPro doesn't let me do anything with thumb drives/etc

Hello everyone.
In Windows such simple tasks as deleting files from memory sticks/thumb drives, moving files back and forward/ etc. is an easy task which every kid can do. However, Mac makes another big deal out of nothing even here.
I have an SD memory stick from my camera and a thumb drive. Photos need to be moved from the first one (SD) to another (thumb). Easy enough? Yeah, I'd think so. Mac has another opinion about that.
It would not let me do ANYTHING with the thumb drive and/or SD. I tried all possible actions I could think of: move the files to the laptop first, copy-paste them, drag and drop, delete old files from the thumb drive (thinking that it doesn't have enough room for the new ones). Nothing. There is one answer: can't proceed with the operation, files can't be deleted blah blah blah. I tried some other memory sticks I had, thinking that the ones I originally used might had some problems. Nope, seems like Mac just don't like them all. Digging though System Preferences didn't bring much luck, I just can't find the proper settings in order to try to change them.
Please help, it's just driving me nuts, I need to return the thumb drive with photos first thing tomorrow.
I'm just so mad that I spent over $2000 on a laptop that makes a huge deal out of just anything! :'(

Nothing that you report is normal with Macs. You have some sort of unusual problem on your machine. Instead of "blah blah blah," tell us exactly what error message(s) you're seeing and exactly what attempted actions produce each one..
