Software Update not working properly

Hi all,
I have been having problems with my Software Update in that I am getting an error message saying "Software Update could not expand the package correctly". This has most recently happened with iPod Updater 2006-03-23.
This is not much to go on, but do any of you have an idea as to what might be wrong?
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi Taylor L.
Thanks for the continued support and sorry for the delay in reply. As I said I am more than a bit inept on technical issues so I am afraid I have no idea how to repair my permissions.
Tried all the other fixes and no luck. I did try and run the update from the .pkg files in the trash folder (moved automatically by Updater when it did not work) and when it comes to selecting a destination the hard drive is nowhere to be found (i.e. there is no destination to select!). Here below are the lines from the Console since the last restart:

Apple Software Updates not working properly

Since I installed Yosemite OS X10.10 and then OS X10.10.1 I am having problems using Apple Updates. Some items install (usually not Apple products) other show up on the Items to Install list and never leave, although they also show up in the "Installed in the last 30days". These items quickly install or at least they say they are installed but they do not properly install and even though my computer shows that Safari 8.0.2 is installed, I am still running Safari 8.0. This is still going on and includes the most recent Security Update ver 1.0, Safari 8.0.2. I was able to of to the apple web-site and download HP Printer Software Update 3.0 and Digital Raw Compatibility Update ver 6.02 which were acting in the same manner as the Apple software and I think they updated from the direct download but I can't be sure because I don't know where these files lives. Obviously there is a corrupted file in the Updates software or somehow I there are read/write, plist or some other issues going on. I really don't know where to go or what to do with this issue. Even the Apple certified tech who I had look at this and other problems said it was out of his league.

Try this: Open up her Home folder (house icon), click Library then Preferences. Locate com.apple.softwareupdate.plst (I don't have my Mac handy so I can't double-check the name; that should be correct) and move it to the desktop or trash, then try running Software Update again. Also try running Software Update while logged in as another administrator.

Do a backup.
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

Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2 (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
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.
Please help.
Thank you

TS1394 Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)

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

Software updates not working. Nokia 6700

I'm running software V10.5 on this phone and wish to update to V13 to help resolve problems with the call log which seems to have a mind of it's own and the updated map software.
When I use the Nokia Software Updater" on my PC, it loses contact with the phone and fails. The only way to restart my phone is by removing the battery & powering it on again. I 've tried to use the phone's built in updater to download the updates directly, only to be informed that "there are no new software updates available" This is on top of having to constantly reinstall Nokia PC Suite for it to recognise the phone.
If anyone can offer any tips on how to resolve these problems I'd be grateful as i'm getting to the stage where Im considering ditching the phone as it's more trouble than it's worth.

After waiting forever for a hint of support on this question, I've made the decision that i need to buy a phone from a company that is able to provide a quality product, which is clearly no longer Nokia
Your phones do not work properly, your PC software is appalling and your company is a shadow of it's previous incarnation. I can only assume that you have been sleeping through the long Scandanavian nights while your Asian competitors have been learning from your ever increasing list of mistakes. To the Nokia employees I say good luck at the job centre. For the managers, I say you do not deserve your salaries, let alone your bonuses. I for one have given up after 18 years of owning nothing but Nokia's and will reluctantly buy a new phone from a company that deserves my business.

Software update not working (auto)

I have software update set to run daily. for some reason, it has not indicated that there are any updates for the past 5 days, while infact there was an iphoto update. when I run it manually it caught the update and insalled it properly. is there anyway I can find out why it was not working properly automatically ?.

After some more testing, the screen will get brighter if put under a flashlight, but doesn't dim when taken off unless you lock and unlock the screen. I see a lot of people are having this problem

Apple Software Update Not Working

I cannot get Apple Software Update to work on my Windows XP Pro system. It simply says that new software was found but it did not specify which Apple software needs to be updated. I am using iTunes, QuickTime, and Safari. Any help appreciated!

The latest version numbers (at the time I'm making this post) are:
iTunes 10.6.3.25
QuickTime 7.7.2
Safari 5.1.7
If you're behind on any of those, try updating using installers downloaded from the Apple website:

Software-updater not working

Hi
Has anyone experienced that the software updater is not working
I tried already a combo updater and repairing permissions .The updater isn't working.
'time-out code 1001' . 'Your network isn't working properly . '
My internet-connections works fine! Mail and Safari and Explorer no problems.So where do I have to look for a solution
Thanks

It's possible that Apple's servers are busy. This sometimes happens when new updates are made available and during maintenance. Try using Software Update later today or tomorrow and see if there's any change.
Good luck.

Software Update not working

On my Mac Mini Software Update is not working as expected. I have this machine setup with multiple accounts and my kids accounts are very limited so they can use the computer safly while I am not home. My account has admin permissions. When I log into the computer and run Software Update it finds many (11) updates. I click install all and go do something else. I come back about 20 mintues later and found the system sitting at the "login" screen. I thought great it finished. Then I thought that was way to fast. So I log in and run Software Update again. You guessed it the same 11 items need an Update. So now I try and update them one at a time. I successfully updated a few items. Then I thought let me update the 4 items that require a reboot at one time. I started the update and left the machine alone for a while. I came back to the system saying I needed to restart. I clicked on OK. The system then said that it couldn't log out because "Software Update" was running. I could not do anything at this point except hold the power button in until the system powered down and I could then restart it.
To me it seams like a problem with the multi-user setup. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Scott

This did not solve the problem. I repaired disk permissions and deleted all the SoftwareUpdate ".plist" files found in the link. I restarted the Mac Mini. When I tried to run the Software Update for everything it still died. I then ran each update by itself and it worked fine so my system is up to date. However, I suspect the problem will reappear the next time Apple releases many updates together.
I guess I need to figure out the best way to contact Apple directly. And thanks for the info you provided.

HT1338 Software update not working with snow leopard 10.6.8

When I try to update snow leopard 10.8.6 through the Software update, it launches but crashes with the message Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. Software Update can’t connect to the update server. But I do have internet connection. If I try to update from the terminal with the command " sudo softwareupdate -i -r, it tries to connect but end up with connection timed out. I have never able to update my system with software update utility. Does anybody have any suggestion?

Hi,
This reply may seem late but might as well share my findings.
I have the same problems with the software updater for 10.6.8 as well after trying to move on to Mavericks from
OS X Leopard 10.6.8.
Tried the patch as well the listed files to delete and etc but all failed.
Then I noticed the problem was with the software updater complaining that there was a network problem and even though the dignostics was run the results were no network connection exists but Air Port is connected and there is no issue browsing the web.
I took a look at the Wi-Fi settings and noticed that the default locations were going back to an old Wi-Fi network location I had latched on to 4 years ago! I assumed some screw up with the Wi-Fi network software and thus removed all Wi-Fi network associations and locations and reconfigured the Wi-Fi from scratch for my local home Wi-Fi network. After this the software update worked fine and can now download updates. Note that I did install the update patch by Apple though in my first attempt to resolve the problem.
I would consider the possibility of the Wi-Fi software services within OS X Snow Leopard being a bit "buggy".
Deleting all the non used Wi-Fi network associations and clearing or resetting the default location settings helped revive/resolve the no network connection problem with the software updater.
Now can move on to Mavericks...

Software Updates not working. Any suggestions why?

I am trying to get the updates that show up on Software Update but when they start to run the crash out right at the beginning of the download. I am on 10.4 with a G5. Any suggestions. I am inclined to think this is an Apple problem and not my computer problem. I am on DSL too.
Thanks,
Rob

So far we know the following is true:
1. Permissions repaired
2. Different account tried
3. Peripherals are non-relevant
This says the issue is at the system level. System level issues which can affect Software Update include:
1. Bad cache files
2. Bad directory
3. Firewalls
4. routing issues to the Software Update server (i just checked that Software Update server is indeed working, and I was able to see I have an update waiting for me).
5. Wrong disks used for system installation. Occasionally I've seen this happen that people use another Mac's installer disks to install an operating system and not the retail installer disks or the disks which came with the Mac, and an Apple application misbehaves.
Cache file corruption and directory failure can most frequently happen if your hard disk is nearly full. They can also happen, if you force shut down/restart the computer from the power button. Do you think either of these applies?

Software Update not working on Nokia 6120 Classic ...

The Software Update is'nt working on Nokia 6120 Classic White when i start the software updater it says "not found".
Here's a picture of the phone: Nokia 6120 White
Please Reply.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sometimes the drivers for your Nokia device and associated connectivity cables can become corrupted.
To resolve this, uninstall and re-install Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater:
- In your PC’s Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs
- Uninstall Nokia Software Updater (if there are more than one entries uninstall all of them)
- Uninstall Nokia PC Suite
- Go to www.europe.nokia.com/pcsuite to download and install the latest version of Nokia PC Suite
- Go to www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate to download and install Nokia Software Updater

Can't connect to Software Update not working

My Software Update is no longer working (it just suddenly stopped). When I try to launch it, I get
Software Update can't find the update server. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, then try again. Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem.
I'm then given the option to run Network Diagnostics. When I do, I get the following:
Cannot connect to server - Network Diagnostics was able to connect to the Internet, but not to the server "su.local" This could be caused by problems with the server, or an Internet problem between this computer and the server.
I've been manually updating OS updates, but not sure I'm getting all the ones I need.

Hello and welcome to the discussions. The server "su.local" sounds like your home network. My Software updates (10.5.6) come in on ports 80 and tcp port 6. Perhaps you have your computer accessing a local server first before it reaches the net.
Just a thought...
