"System Update could not start properly" - New error just started (WinXP SP3)
I can no longer run System Update; it displays the splash screen, then a small window pops up with the above error message. I just ran it last a day or two ago, and it installed a few things; since then I have also run Microsoft Update and it also installed a few things, which I backed out one at a time (except for the malicious software removal updates)--all to no avail. Anyone else seen this, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jonathan
--T61 (6460-8VU) - WinXP SP3, all the latest patches (except for KB961260, which is still backed out); .NETFramework 3.5 SP1
Hello,
I have reinstalled the system update after I did clean and download the last version from Lenovo website but still have the same pop up message says: Syystem Update could not start properly.
what's wrong??????

System Update could not start properly
Have recently been getting this error: System Update could not start properly
It worked fine (even getting itself updated) for over a year that I've had the machine (a T-61, 14.1", 4G ram, 200G hd, nvidea, running XP Professional, SP3)
Any thoughts?

I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem. I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system. Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program. Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents? How?
I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.
So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what? -
New Installation Failing w/Error: The update could not be found.
On a new 2008 R2 server (Standard), using the Add Roles Wizard, I tried adding WSUS but it fails with "The update cound not be found. There may be a network connection issue. Click here for more information."
Clicking there takes me to the "Resolving WSUS issues" pages with refereces to Microsoft. The first is the most relevent:
"If you receive the message “The update could not be found. There may be a network connection issue.” when you try to install WSUS, refer to the information in the Network and Sharing Center Troubleshooting Guide."
Clicking on the link to the "Network and Sharing Center Troubleshooting Guide http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140135" takes me there (so there are no connectivity issues) but nothing seems to apply to my issue. I can browse the internet just fine and have even went in and manually installed various required components like IIS, .NET Framework 3.5.1, and Windows Internal Database but still no luck. I even downloaded the file "WSUS30-KB972455-x64" and tried running that without success. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.On a new 2008 R2 server (Standard), using the Add Roles Wizard, I tried adding WSUS but it fails with "The update cound not be found. There may be a network connection issue. Click here for more information."
To install WSUS as a role, the candidate server must either have an active Internet connection to obtain the WSUS installation package from Microsoft Update, or be configured to update from an existing WSUS server with the WSUS3SP2 Dynamic Installer package already approved. If the R2 server is configured to use WSUS and the WSUS3SP2 Dynamic Installer package is not approved for installation for the group(s) in which the R2 server is a member, then you may also encounter this situation.

That's hard to say. Running the installer should not have presented any issues, but then you've not shared the exact details of that particular failure, which almost certainly would have been different from the previous failures encountered using Server Manager. Of course, successfully running the installer presumes that the server has been properly prepared and prerequisites have been properly installed and configured. I would be concerned that you don't seem to have referenced and followed the explicit instructions documented in either the Step By Step Guide or the Deployment Guide, so this is a high probability source of the cause. (Note: .NET Framework 3.5.1 is NOT a required component, the Windows Internal Database does not require manual installation for WSUS, and if IIS7 is not properly configured with the exact requirements for WSUS, the installation will fail.)Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP:EA, MCDBA, MCSA

"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"this kind of error massage i found but there are no other copies of Firefox running on my computer.So please solve my prob.I can not uninstall this because i have saved important bookmark on my system.When i start my Firefox that time browser is opening few times later may be it's my internet slow connection but everyone has slow connection internet they are not having this prob then why should i have this prob.Why it is taking little bit time to open?Thanks for the info about Trojan. It may be the problem. Meanwhile I went to Admin/Owner side and did some cleaning -- including trying to reload my Favorite/Bookmarks that have always carried forth from previous levels of Windows XP and earlier.
The new computer here did not grab the Bookmarks from the previous, and yesterday I thought I had them loaded, and today went to Worker-Bee side and they are not showing.
About those add-ons... I have no idea, but think I got everything up to date yesterday. I will look at your earlier reply tomorrow or this weekend when I have more time at home to learn from it.
Thank you for your time in helping.

I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "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." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

Opening Error: Colors could not be properly read
After HD failure, replacement, and HD contents recovery, other iLife applications seem to function correctly, but iWeb (version 1.1.2) opens existing site with some images absent, some incorrect colors, and the following message:
"The following errors occurred while trying to open this document: One or more colors could not be properly read, and may not display correctly on some systems."
This is obviously true, but no further advice is provided.
The website displays correctly as previously published on .Mac, and on a folder restored from the original HD.
Themes display correctly in the chooser, and new pages created from the same theme that does not display correctly in the existing site, display as they should.
I think the problem is with Domain.sites itself, therefore reinstalling iWeb will have no impact (except to replace Domain.sites with a "blank").
Is there a way to use the published sites to recreate a correct Domain.sites file?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)No.
What you can do however is open the original Domain site, highlight the contents of one page and copy it. Close that old Domain site, open the new Domain site - Paste the contents. Repeat until you've found the culprit file(s) -
My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?
I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

I've been getting an error message lately which states the following:
Web Sync could not initialize properly. Check that Polar Daemon is running and start Web Sync again. To restart Polar Daemon you need to run 2 commands in Terminal Start Applications>Utilities>Terminal. To stop Polar Daemon which is already running, write a command”sudo launchctl unload/library/launch daemon/fi.polar.polard.plist.” and press enter. Enter your password when required. If Polar Daemon is not running, “error unloading” message appears. Ignore this error message. Write “sudo launchclt load/library/launch daemons/fi.polar.polard. plist” and press enter to run Polar Daemon.
Is this something I should be concerned about, and if so, what do I do about it?
ThanksThat error message comes from third-party software that you installed. If it isn't working, either remove it according to the developer's instructions, reinstall it, or refer to the developer for support. Back up all data before making any changes.

can some one help me? I have been trying to update my MAC and it will not download because this message come up
(The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.)For anyone that comes across this. I managed to fix the problem. It had something to do with the date on my computer. Mavericks installer apparently does a date check of some sort and that is where the error is coming from. Open terminal and check the system date. It may be wrong. Another poster in the forums told me how to to check the date and change it. Click here for the link to the explanation. Be careful because the date is in a weird format.

When I open firefox I get an error message "update could not be installed check for duplcates"
Error message: The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox and try again.
I have uninstalled all versions of Firefox. Then went to the Internet through Explorer and downloaded from scratch. A few days later I started getting the message again.If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
