Software Update to 10.6.7 fail
Software Update never completes the upgrade to 10.6.7. The progress bar 'Writing files' gets 99.9% of the way and freezes for hours. Any ideas?
Cheers!

Software update server- 10.4.8 fails to update
Hello all,
I have a software update server and perticular updates fail when run on client computers. I have just been stuck disabling them in Server Admin. What is the easiest way to fix this. Some updates in peticular are 10.4.8 and different logic updates. Could these pkgs have become corrupted and need to be re-added to the /usr/share/swupd/html/ directory?
thank you!Hi, I was wondering if you had made any progress on this problem. I have spent some time tonight looking at the update_list.txt file that the Apple Knowledge Base article shows you how to generate. I know for sure that the 10.4.8Combo updater is one that fails to install. I have noticed something that i cannot explain and would be interested to see if you see the same. Below is an excerpt from the .txt file. I noticed that some updates do not follow the folder numbering structure that the others do. The 10.4.8 Combo updater, along with a few others, begin with zzz. Any ideas on this?

Software Updates "can't be installed" & "failed to mount" messages
In software update; all new software, Quicktime, iTunes, Java for Mac and Security Update; I get a message saying that they can't be installed, followed by :"The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”."
I also cannot download software updates (ie: Firefox or adobe flash player). I've already repaired permissions and verified disks. I've also gone to the main websites to download from and when I try to run them, I get "disk images failed to mount.." and the reason being "codec overrun" every time.
Some one please help!Hi jrsysurfer, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I see you've done some of this already, but since it seems something is corrupted with your OS, am including it all, but I think it may take an A&I.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Hey everyone,
I have iTunes 10.4 and an iPod touch. I have always had trouble with synching my iPod.
Right now, iTunes will not connect to the iTunes store. When I try to synch my iPod touch, it gets stuck in "Step 2: Backing Up," and the bar loads forever. I've left it alone for several hours and it has not made any progress. When I try to restore the iPod, or update it, iTunes gives me an error message that it "Cannot connect to the iPod software update server. This has happened despite being connected to the internet, on both my school network and my home network.
I've tried messing with the hosts file in the System32/etc. folder as the website instructed on the apple website, but that did not solve the problem.
Recently, several parts of audiobooks I have have also become unplayable on my iPod, despite being able to be played on iTunes. The parts are listed but are grey and cannot be selected.
I recently copied a bunch of audiobooks via flash drive from my sister's computer to my iTunes - could this be part of the problem? They were from an Audible account that I don't share.
Thanks!
-AllisonYour iTunes stores and sync problem solution here:
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDeviceSupport. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. what can i do to download software when the above message keeps popping up...not allowing me to download
I had the same problem this weekend. The iphone 4s needed Itunes10.5 to sync to her Asus Windows 7 Laptop. When I tried to download from the Apple website I got the error that the windows installer was missings files or something like that. I uninstalled itunes and tried again but that didn't work. Then I redownloaded itunes 10.3 just to have a working version in case I gave up. Then I found site that suggested I update Windows by going through the start menu and while doing that I found an update Apple itunes file.
Goto Start and type Widows Update in the seach window. Click on check for updates (I already was current with all updates but I suggest you download the updates if there are some available.
Goto start and this time just type update in the search window. Look for the Apple itunes update link and click on it. It found there were updates for itunes 10.5, Quick time, Safari, and Icloud. I checked all the updates except for Safari, since we don't use it (yet).
The install started then seemed to stall at one spot for ~3min but then completed successfully. I open itunes and had her synced with Outlook Contact, Email, Calender, and Notes in 5 minutes. I did already configure Outlook by going to tools and Trust Center.
I hope this works. -
SCCM 2012 R2 -CU3 fails at 'Create Software Update Catalog'
Hi
I am trying to upgrade SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 to CU3 (skipping CU2) but the upgrade fails in the middle with following message in the log
Task 'Create Software Update Catalog' completed, state is 'failed' ExceptionText: Error: Setup detected an unexpected problem during installation. Error message: A valid file name is required.
Parameter name: fileName
I have checked following article but it does not fixed mine.

Already uninstalled CU3 and reinstalled it with no luck so I was wondering anyone has any ideas as what might be causing it?
Thanks** RESOLVED **
After attempting several times and uninstalling when it failed, finally it got installed successfully.
Since I was skipping CU2 so I thought to install that as well before installing CU3. However, the CU2 also failed at Admin Console update. Re started installing CU3 but this time I choose not to create deployment packages for client, server and console.
Not sure if that fixed it or CU2 but I am glad its over now. After installing CU3 successfully, ran the installer again to create all required deployment packages for console, client and server.
All looks good now. -
After a grueling few weeks, I FINALLY got the apple drivers to install on my unibody MBP (boot camp 2.1) without error. Of course, installing and working are not the same thing.
It installs a program called Apple Software Updater.
1) The program fails, with a Error dialog box, "The specified module could not be found" and OK button. It repeats the same error and does nothing. How do you fix this?
2) If it did work, what does it do? I assume it checks for new drivers and downloads them. Correct?
Thanks

Hello I just bought a Nokia 500 GPS device. The installed software version is V1.0.40, so I've tried to update it to the latest (1.0.62) version with the software update wizard. But it fails to finish the task resulting in an application crash.
(I run windows XP, I have installed microsoft .NET prior to the software update).
The details of the error (from the application event log of XP!) are:
EventType clr20r3, P1 nokia500updater.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 47a03d51, P4 system.windows.forms, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333aefa, P7 1508, P8 12f, P9 system.argumentexception, P10 NIL.

What is wrong and how can I update the software?

ScreenShot042.jpg 65 KBYou're welcome Daniel.
It may also be that PC Suite installation causes N500 update wizard not to function correctly so, one option would be to uninstall PC Suite first (also check manually that all related files and folders, plus all registry entries are removed from you computer - this is not mentioned in that Tips section), then reboot your computer, now install that N500 update wizard and try to update.
And one more thing I heard from a friend of mine who also wasn't able to get this working with N500 attached to computer ... he took the SD card out from the N500 and put it into card reader, launced N500 update wizard and surprise ... update wizard thinks that N500 is attached there and starts downloading update file to SD card (so, there must be some file of folder in that SD card that indicates to wizard that update can start) and when wizard tells to restart the N500 just remove SD card from card reader, put it into N500 and restart it and sw update should proceed. My friend tells that N500 was updated correctly and is working fine.

How do you remove a third party software update on Lion?
A friend recently pulled an update to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1. The update version is 3.6.2. Consequently, RDP does not work when connecting to a Windows machine remotely.
NOTE: I realize Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1 is no longer supported for OSX Lion and later. However, I use this same client successfully on a 2009 Intel MBP upgraded to Mountain Lion. I did NOT pull this third party software update and RDP works without fail.
Troubleshooting steps to date:
Attempted Uninstall/reinstall of RDP.
Failed.
My goal is to "roll back" this specific application prior to the software update without having to restore OSX.
Please help locate the specifc program files to be removed. I'm willing to remove manually through Terminal with the right instruction.

I have changed few cables just to make sure that it was not faulty, and still the same error. I was told by someone since the version in the phone is quite old it is failing to upgrade to the new one. Can anyone plz help me from this misery?????

When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.

Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.

Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
