Software Updates Fail With Permissions Error

Three recent software updates (Security Update 2008-02 v1 & v1.1, Aperture 2.1) have given me problems when using the default mode where the Software Update Systems Preferences application downloads and installs in one continuous sequence. The Security updates both failed with a permissions error at the end of the download, saying they'd move the Package file to the trash where I could install it manually. Neither one actually placed anything in the trash though. Instead I downloaded the installer disk images from the direct link at Apple.com and installed the Package from Finder. With the Aperture installer the error was something about an inability to expand the installer. This time I performed a "Download Only" in Software Update then ran the installer once the download was complete that way. This worked too.
So far I've run a permissions repair from Disk Tool and changed the read/write permissions on the /Library/Updates folder as suggested in an earlier thread. Neither had any effect on subsequent updates. What should I try next?

I just ran into this and what was happening to me was I had SU to automatically download updates in the background.
But I have 2 user accounts i use, so it was downloading the package under user A and I was trying to install via user B.
So i just deleted the old file in /Library/Updates then re-downloaded. I could have also just changed the permissions on the file.

  • Auto update fails with permissions error on Win 7

    Everytime there is an update and I try to istall it I get this error on Windows 7 :
    How do I set it right?
    My user a/c has admin privileges to my system. It is my personal laptop, so no corporate policies or such stuff.
    Currently I have to download the update everytime manually and install it.
    My currently installed version is : 11.4.402.265
    And I have chosen to be notified when updates are available.

    Did it and this is the final output :
    Elapsed Time: 00 00:00:00
    Done:       13, Modified       13, Failed        0, Syntax errors        0

    =========================

    Press any key to continue . . .
    I will have to wait for the next available update and see if this works. I will update this post once that happens.
    Please note that several of the registry keys mentioned in the batch file are not present in my registry. I did not verify all the resources mentioned there. I have copied the complete output and I can pass it on if it can be of any use.

  • Software Update Failed.  An error occurred downloading iOS 6.

    I have been trying to get the latest software update on my iPhone 4S 16GB for a few days.  All of my apps are closed, iTunes version is current, and no other apps need updating.  I am on WIFI and I just backed up my phone again; however, the software update will not work.  The "estimated time remaining" fluctuates by random amounts as it tries to update as well (it may say 1 minute, then 15 minutes, then 2, then 8 - regardless of what the blue progress bar shows).
    Here is the error message I receive: "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 6."  Throughout the day today, I've also received a message stating, "cannot find update" - or something similar (I can't recall it verbatim).
    What is causing this?  Please help with detailed instructions.  Thank you.

This problem is ridiculous and frankly annoying. I have a brand new iphone 6 and a 8 month old iPad Air what is the problem

    Hi Wingzfan13,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you can't update the iOS device. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    very good. You also had posted originally on the Using Apple Support Communities forum (dedicated to "How do I use this forum and find My Stuff in it?"). I had already asked our gracious Hosts to move it to Using iPhone where it now resides and will likely get more prompt attention. In the meantime, you might consider browsing and/or searching Using iPhone for similar issues as your own.
    best luck

    Hello,
    I can not update my iPhone 4s to iOS 5.1.
    I´m getting always "“Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading OS 5.1″.
    Do anybody know that issue?
    Thanks

    On your Mac
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
    8.8.8.8
    and then you can download the update via itunes
    dont forget to put the original DNS back after the download

  • CCMS agent update fails with an error

    Hello All,
    We are trying to update CCMS agent 700 unicode version on 640_REL unicode kernel.
    But we are getting below error
    ./sapccm4x -v
      Could not open the ICU common library.
       The following files must be in the path described by
       the environment variable "LIBPATH":
       libicuuc30.a, libicudata30.a, libicui18n30.a [nlsui0_mt.c 1557] pid = 860208
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Anu

    If you use the Unicode version you need to install the Unicode libraries also.
    You find them in the download area (where you got the CCMS patch) under "UCLIB". I assume this is AIX so you can also search for the file
    UCLIB_3-20000978.SAR
    extract it and put the files in the kernel directory.
    Then logout and logon (the shell) and try again (or simply give a 'rehash' command).

  • I've been trying for 2 weeks to update my iPhone 4S (7.0.6) to iOS 7.1 OTA but it fails all the time...telling me software update failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.1. ..I need some support pls!!

    The problem occurres after the downloading is complete and when its in "Preparing Update" procedure and specfically in its last progress (near the end). Suddenly a message pop ups saying that "Software Update Failed" \n "An error occured downloading iOS 7.1."
    I've restarted the update process for the 20 th time!!! and reset my iphone twice to factory settings, but still nothing change, same error occures...
    My iPhone specs
    Version : 7.0.6 (11B651)
    Model : MD235AE/A

    Try updating by using iTunes via a computer.

  • Still getting "Software Update Failed" when attempting to download iOS 7 on iPhone 4S.

    I've tried countless times now to download iOS 7 on my 4S which is currently running iOS 6.1.3. It downloads completely then in the "Preparing Update..." stage it gives me an error box saying "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0." The same thing happens every time, I've rebooted and reset my pone several times as well as logging in an out of my Apple ID all with no success. It's not like it takes an unusual amount of time downloading or anything, and once it finishes downloading it shows less storage in the "About" section in "Settings" but goes back to where it was once it gives the error message. Just a note, I was able to download iOS 7 on my iPad 3 the day the software was released without a long waiting period or any hassle. I appreciate any input. Thank you.

    Thanks for the response. I have 16.5 GB of available space at the moment. I've tried it connected to a wall charger and connected to my wifi, my schools wifi, and my gyms wifi all with no success. I have not tried it from iTunes but after posting this question a few suggestioned discussions came up, one of which recommended backing up to iCloud or iTune and then performing a complete restore. I'm in the process of doing that now, whether it works or doesn't work I will get back to either way. Thanks again.
