Software Update not allowing me to complete....:/

What a pain! My computer is going haywire! YIKES!
It is not allowing me to complete any software update... including important security updates.
It says " The update "Security Update 2009-002 (Intel) can't be installed. A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
What the heck!!???! I am connected to the internet, it allows me to download from there, access web-pages...etc. Thats not the problem, so why is it giving me this message!!!??
Any ideas to what is going on?

Hi kimmeh87,
You can try manually downloading the update from Apple's website and see what happens.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_Intel
I assume you're running OS X 10.4.11 on this MacBook?
Secondly, you can navigate on the HD to /Library/Updates and delete the contents of this folder (leave the .plist) and attempt the process again.
As the above poster said, it's always a good idea to have a full backup prior to any significant update.

  • Why does software update not allow installation of updates?

    I am unable to install downloaded packages after running Software Update because of an "incorrect signature" issue. Dialogue says: Packages may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by Apple. The computer is a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.5.8. The updates are coming direct from Apple. What is going on?

    Thanks!
    Downloading the updates one at a time directly from the Apple website worked perfectly. I wish I knew why Software Update no longer functions properly, but having this work-around is good to know about.

  • Software updates not allowed

    Okay, get ready for a long story. I had given up on getting this situation solved at all, but thought I'd give it one last shot here.
    This past spring, I somehow managed to install a Safari update that was NOT for the Panther operating system, but for Tiger. After that happened, I was not able to use Safari at all. I would click on the icon and it would bounce up and down a couple of times on my dock and nothing would happen.
    Someone suggested I try downloading the Panther update for Safari obviously using another browser (Mozilla). I've tried this several times and the installation package (?) will download, but when the option of where I want to install it to appears, my hard drive icon comes up with a red exclamation point and it says "this system cannot use this software."
    Also, any other updates (iTunes, Quicktime) I try to install won't work either. The system update icon will appear on my dock, bounce up and down a couple of times, and then disappear.
    Fixing the whole Safari issue would be great, but, I would more importantly like to get the updates for my other applications working.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially since the jerks at Apple customer service want me to pay them $50 so they can "maybe fix it."
    Thanks!

    Caitlyn:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Apparently you problem goes beyond Safari, or running any browser. We first need to determine what is going on with your filesystem/directory. So begin with Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Please post back and let me know how it goes.

  • Why is the software update not showing up in general settings?

    Why does my software update not show up in general settings?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    How to install iOS 6
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2010061/hands-on-with-ios-6-installation.html
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.

    Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)
    Hi, I am currently using Snow Leopard 10.6 on my iMac. I opened iTunes and was told there was an update available so I clicked the button to download it. This obviously opened up the 'download' screen with blue bar. The blue bar does not move and the message comes up that the download failed. I have tried troubleshooting, but the message I get is that I am not connected to the internet - which I am.
    Please help.

    Check your iTunes version, it's reporting v10.6.3 here on 10.6.8 and no updates required.
    You should be able to download it from here

  • CJ36 -BP - 164 - Capital investment budget exists for & - update not allowe

    Hello Friends,
    We are trying to post supplements using CJ36 for a WBS,but the system giving the error message saying that
    " BP - 164 - Capital investment budget exists for & - update not allowed"
    Please give some idea on this.
    Thanks IN Advance
    Best Reagdrs
    Trupthi

    Hi,
    Even though CJ35 and CJ38 are both transactions to perform budget returns, it is important to know that they are working slightly different:
    a) via txn CJ38 you return money exactly for the WBS elements you indicate an amount for. So if you indicate 1 COP for
       WBS element XX alone, the return is only being carried out for this WBS element. Since this WBS element is
       not (directly) attached to an investment program position, this is not a problem.
    b) via txn CJ35, however, as per system design you return money for the WBS element you indicate  p l u s  for all WBS elements lying on the hierarchical path above, in order to guarantee that the budget remains consistent (= check error free).
       So by indicating 1 COP for WBS element XX, the system  also  tries to return the same amount from the overlying WBS element YYY.
    Since this WBS element, however, i s  attached to investment program position of investment program, the system blocks this posting because this program position forsees budget distribution and thus budgeting is allowed via budget distribution  o n l y  (txn IM52) -  see e.g. F1 help for indicator 'Budg.dist. ovrl' in the master of the investment program position.
    So basically you can say that txns CJ35 and CJ36 are not suitable for projects attached to investment program positions that forsee budget distribution. Please check your transaction IM52.
    Please check if this fits with your scenario.
    Best Regards,
    Vanessa.

    I have an IPAD 2 ios verison 4.3.3.  I am trying to update my ios to current version.  I dont get the option from Settings>General for a software update.  How do i complete process?

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    my ipod and itunes on my computer keeps telling me to go to itunes support. It will not allow me to complete a transaction. My ipod says my security number is invalid, but it isn't. what should I do?

    I'm having this issue as well. I've pushed so much on this issue that I have a Senior Advisor with iTunes Store Support working on the issue, and we are keeping contact with each other daily. Even though I'm a patient person, I admit... I am a bit peeved. I'm trying to give a company money, and it is this difficult? I don't understand why it just cannot be relisted. I've tried buying a gift card and using credit, the Complete My Album option, etc. I just don't get why iTunes will let me buy other songs and albums, but not this particular one! :-/
