  • Software updates wont download

    Help. What am I supposed to do when my computer wont download my software updates but the mac sight says when your computer in having problems try software updates. if you have suggestions please help save me the trouble of taking it to the Apple Store

    Make sure your internet connection is solid, and restart your computer before trying again. It's a bit of a superstitious addition, but if I'm having trouble with a program I also make sure nothing else is running that isn't necessary.

  • How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari" bc I can't download the latest software?

    How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.

    I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
    In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

  • I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

    I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to  how I can fix this?

    If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
    To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
    Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

  • Software Update wont check for new software.

    Software Update wont check for new software.

    No - I'm on 10.6.8 and it functions normally, though there are now very few actual updates. If there are no updates the progress bar should still complete in around 3 minutes and announce that there are no updates, so you've got something hanging somewhere. If it's still stuck hit command-option (alt)- escape, select Software Update and hit Force Quit. You could try it again (I should reboot first) in case it's a one-off glitch, but if it still sticks force quit it again.
    The best suggestion I can offer is to apply the combo updater anyway in the hope that it may over-write whatever is causing the problem.

  • Updating Options - Software Update or download page

    Hello!
    I've noticed some people (when talking about OS software updates) recommend downloading a new update via the downloads page as opposed to downloading through Software Updates.
    May I ask why this is often the preferred method? Wouldn't Software Update offer a more 'bespoke' download since its directly checked your system for what exactly is required?
    Thanks for your views.

    Ditto what BDaqua said.
    Some other things:
    Some people prefer to install in Safe Mode when your computer is just booted to a small set of system files, potentially avoiding some things that could interfere with software installation. In safe mode your internet connection is down so you have to have the installer package on your computer already.
    Although you don't have to, with Software Update there is the temptation to let it install a whole bunch of stuff at one time. If one package presents a problem you can't tell which one it is. I download all the packages I feel I am in more control and can pace it better.

  • Software Update - no Download only option

    Good afternoon.
    The version of Software Update shipping with 10.6.n has no 'Download Only' option. A real nuisance when you are used to downloading updates and deploying them via Apple Remote Desktop.
    Furthermore, some updates listed in Software Update are not on the Support/Downloads area to download manually.
    I wonder if anyone out there has a workaround to enable Software Update to 'Download Only' please?

    Hi. Thanks for this. I already do what you suggest, but not all the indicated updates are available by download. There was a Bonjour update that was not listed in Support/Updates for example.

  • I have a macbook white with osx 10.6.8 and the software update wont work anymore for upgrading the software ,what should i do?

    some of the apps that i just downloaded are not compatible with my software and when I tried to upgrade to mavericks from the app store, in my download list it wont download. Before ive tried download it, it worked, but i paused it, so when i tried again, nothings changed
    Please help, should i download mac os x 10.7? and where?
    thank you

    Software Update won't take you beyond 10.6.8 which is the highest incremental update for Snow Leopard.  The fact that it won't let you upgrade to Mavericks suggests that your Mac is not compatible.
    You should start by checking that your Mac can handle Lion, for which the requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    The original early 2006 MacBooks have only a Core Duo processor and so are not compatible, but the models from late 2006 on have a Core 2 Duo and so should be.
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). You will get a code which you can use to download it from the Mac App Store.

  • Reformatted Computer but Software Updates Wont Install

    I just took my macbook pro to the apple store yesterday and they said there was a software issue and they wiped out the whole computer. I got it back and reinstalled the applications disc and did a software update but it wont install. The error message says that the files could have been corrupted during downloading and it will check for updates the next time around....i tried about 3 times and the same result. any suggestions?

    Which application discs and software updates are you writing about? Are these 3rd-party apps or the Apple supplied ones? Are the updates from the Software Update program? Did you try checking SU out at the store? Do you have a bootable backup./clone or Time Machine backup of your previous installation? Many missing details.

  • Software update wont work.

    My laptop wont update to 10.5.8. After downloading it through Software Update I get the following error:
    The update “Mac OS X Update” can’t be saved.
    The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”.
    I get the same error for other updates, not just the OS update.
    Any advice?

    I have tried resetting my permissions. I also tried downloading the update from the apple website and it gave me the following error:
    Operation could not be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.)
    Couldn't open "MacOSXUpd10.5.8.pkg".

  • Safari doesnt work and software update wont open

    i have os x 10.3.9 and my safari doesnt work anymore, as well as software update. does anybody know how to install it back onto the computer from the os cd? or where can i download safari 1.3 (full version)? the apple web site does not have it, it only has updates.

    Try deleting the com.apple.Software update plist from Home/Library/Preferences. Safari can be reinstalled from your install disk. It may be listed under optional installs or custom installs. Safari 1.3 is terribly out of date and will crash on many sites. A better alternative is Camino which has the look and feel of safari and is quite stable.

  • After almost a year - duh - I see that v3.6.4 got stuck mid-download; now I can't proceed or get rid of the Software Update 'Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.4' -so how to update now?

    I have Firefox 3.6.3 on a mac os x 10.5.8 laptop. Often when I open Firefox there are updates available for plugins & addons and I install them. Now Firefox often crashes while in use and/or I must force quit. I finally went to the Help menu on the Firefox menu bar and saw this message: 'Resume Downloading Firefox 3.6.4...' When I click on the message I get a new 'Software Update' window with this info: 'Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.4' (stuck); a 'Details' link (dead); and 'Connecting to the update server...' (never connects). Sorry, I couldn't figure out what the 'Firefox location bar' was and so can't get report IDs, though a while ago I stopped reporting the problems. I want to update Firefox without losing any of my stored settings/info. PS I just saw my 'installed plugins' list. 'Displays PDF documents in the browser' is listed but doesn't work; 'iPhoto6' listed, but I run iPhoto '08 (7.1.5). I'm not sophisticated enough to recognize the other plug-ins. Thanks!

    I don't know if there are better solutions, and I don't know if what I'm going to write is real also in mac OS: in windows and linux you personal settings (bookmarks, history, plugins, etc...) are stored in your home directory and not in firefox installation directory. So what about to uninstall your current version, download the new one from firefox web site and install it? In my opinion all your data remain untouched.
    A better solution may be download the new version and install it without removing the previous one, the installer should overwrite outdated files ;)

  • I cannot do any software updates without downloading "Mac OS X 10.5", but I cant find it anywhere!!

    My computer won't find any software updates, can't even do it manually.
    Every time I go to download something from apple it says I can't without "Mac OS X 10.5". but I cannot find this update anywhere!
    HELP!!

    You need to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
    An Update is a free change within an existing Operating System. Such as the .11 added to 10.4.
    An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ 
    I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
    A retail 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $200
    Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard came out in July of 2009 and became obsolete in July of 2011 when 10.7 Lion was introduced. Unlike earlier Operating Systems which were removed from the Apple Store when a new OS came out Apple kept Snow Leopard around for a year until 10.8 Mountain Lion came out. When Mountain Lion came out they removed Snow Leopard and Lion from the online store.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

  • Third party software updates wont open on leopard

    I've recently downloaded two or three third party software updates (Neooffice and VMware fusion examples). After the large downloads disk utility seems to mount a disk image successfully after which you usually get a new page containing a 'upgrade software' yellow and orange cube, a read me file and an uninstall option. When I double click the 'upgrade software' cube it starts to expand as if its going to do something and then nothing, nothing at all ! Normally on Tiger hitting this update cube will initiate the upgrade but on my Leopard I seem to be drawing a blank on third party software. The apple software updates seem to function correctly.
    Any ideas ?

    I would first try redownloading the software updates. If that fails, I would make a backup of your system with Time Machine and do a clean install of Mac OS X, though I really don't think this is a system issue.
