System Updates not installing

Help!
Every time I try to install system updates is stops at "configuring installation items".
Is this happening to anyone else??

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Delete this file; com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch Software Update either from the Apple Menu (Apple logo top left in your Desktop/Software Updates), OR, System Preferences/Software Updates.
Your Mac will create a new .plist file for you the next time you launch Software Update.

System updates not installed/downloaded

I noticed in the ThinkVantage Systemupdate history several Windows 7 updates that did not install or download, but I am not able to select them from the history to try again. Why do Windows updates not install and hoew can I move the failed installations back into the upgrade list?

It is possible that in the meantime, Windows Update downloaded and installed the same updates, which would cause TVSU to not detect it as there is no need. Check in the Windows Update history for the same updates.

Lenovo System Update not installing a driver

I reinstalled Windows 8.1 Pro on a X1 Carbon Touch, model 3448. I then installed the Lenovo System Updater, version 5.06.0027. Many drivers were installed, but I still have an unknown device in Device Manager. In msinfo32.exe, I see this in Problem Devices:
ACPI\LEN0078\5&2890D6990&0
A web search seems to indicate I need a Lenovo Power Management driver.
Any idea why the Lenovo System Updater does not identify this device and install the appropriate driver?
Solved!

Hi,
download and install that PM driver in manual mode.

Windows Updater Not Installing and Troubleshooter Wizard Is Not Working???

I am in need help desperately!
        I have tried to install the Windows 7 latest update since late October 2014 and every time that I have tried it has failed, this is messing with certain programs to either not run such as my Troubleshooter,
leaving me unable to fix the issue, and making my computer to run poorly as well as when I am on Firefox unable to load pages, do downloads, watch movies & TV, or watch videos on You Tube without having to move the mouse around to keep it running and just
freeze the picture on the You Tube and Xfinity but the sound keeps playing though. I am unable to run the Troubleshooter Wizard at all; gives me an error code 0x80131018. I have gone to the forums to find a solution I tried everything possible. Such
as trying to do all the maintenance; disc clean ups, compressing files to save on space, checking the disc drives for errors, defragmenting the drives, try to use the Fix It (MicrosoftFixit.malware.RNP.1343648269423620.1.1.Run, as well as: MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.RNP.1343648269423620.2.1.Run,
as well as: MicrosoftFixit.wu.FISC.1341772369343897.1.1.Run,   and: MicrosoftFixit50123) all the these would not help.
        I also tried to run what information I received from viewing options from the Error Code 0x80131018 and all the HP Support Assistant and Windows Help and Support. These are some of them; SCUDownloader,
Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64,   HPSupportSolutionsFramework-en-11.51.0048,   HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0048,   HP CoolSense Technology - sp65424,   HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) - sp55068,
HP Power Manager Utility Software - sp55151,   HP On-Screen Display Utility - sp55152,   HP System Diagnostics UEFI - sp52407, and    Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver - sp55101. All these with running the maintenance,
I also installed Boost, also ran the scans through my Norton Security, and so much more to try and fix this problem, I just can't remember everything that I tried I have been working so hard at solving this problem since of the effect of how this Windows Updater
failing at updating and Troubleshooter not working to leaving me unable to find and fix these issues.
           I am a Graphic Design Artist and I am pretty computer savvy but I am at a loss on this . If anyone has any advise on these issues please help me ASAP, I use my HP everyday and it is important for
me to have it for work purposes, concepts and so much more. My Mother got this computer for me when I graduated from college in 2012 for my graduation gift so I can do what I do.
Thank you so much for your help in trying to get this resolved without having to take it into somewhere and pay $$ that I do not have.

I recently had a similar problem - Windows 7 Ultimate. Apart from updates not installing and troubleshooters not running I started getting crashes and BSOD's
I checked that my Cryptographic services was set to auto (it was)
Press the 'Windows key" and and key "R" together   to launch the RUN box. Type
services.msc in the box and press Enter. It'll open Services Manager.
Scroll down to "Cryptographic Services" in the list. It should be set to Auto ( mine was)
I then checked my Windows updates to see when the problem started
Taking the bull by the horns I deleted the last 20 updates installed.
I restarted the computer and was amazed to find the troubleshooters working ok
I downloaded the Windows updates and installed them 5 at a time checking the troubleshooter after each batch. Everything was ok .
I can only assume the troublesome update was not re-offered or the one that installed itself was corrupt.

I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
thx for any input

Can't repair disk permissions, System Updates wont install

Hi there,
I wondered, why any system update wont install on my MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.5. So I tried to repair disk permissions which causes an error that calls something like "there is an error in quitting the process" (sorry ... have only the german version, so this is nearly what it says).
Repairing the permissions from a Leopard DVD ends up the same way.
Repairing the harddisk works fine.
Updating the 10.5.5 Combo Update quits with an error that says "The Installation package couldn't install some of the files in "/". Contact the Manufacturer."
Any ideas what this could be ? Thought it startet a couple of days ago with the installation of a new Java Version, but I'm not sure if this causes any problems.
Thanks for any suggestions

ok,
I've found this in the logfiles:
Started verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD
Error -9972: The underlying task reported failure on exit
Finished verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD
Error detected while verifying/repairing permissions on disk0s2 Macintosh HD: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
Repairing the keychains worked fine but didn't solve the problem at all.

EAS Updater Not Installing

Anyone encountered EAS Updater not installing properly. In the documentation to verify In VersaMail, press Menu . From the Options menu, select Preferences, then select AutoSync. There is now an option for "As items arrive." I don't see this on the Treo. Any ideas?
Post relates to: None

I've heard about several different versions of VersaMail (e.g., 3.0/3.1 on the Treo 650; 3.5 update; 4.0 on the Centro). You might check and see whether you have the correct installation instructions for your version.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

CodeMeter or WIBU-KEY runtime system is not installed

Hi,
I've got a labview program named "application.exe" and when I launch it, the error "CodeMeter or WIBU-KEY runtime system is not installed" appears.
I can launch Labview.exe, no problems...
Labview version installed: 11.00
Program application.exe created with Labview 8.6
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Hi Greg,
Thank you for using the NI discussion forum.
Did you try to install the CodeMeter and WibuKey runtimes (http://www.wibu.com/en/downloads-user-software.html)?
It seems not to be a problem with LabVIEW, but with the software protection dongle used by your program.
Best regards.

TV System update silent install

Hi, I have system update silent install working fine but it doesn't add an icon in teh start menu or prgrams - anyone know the switch to make this happen ?
Thanks

Hmm, it's working as expected here:
1. I can type "System Update" into the start menu and it shows up
--> please check this on your system
2. There is a shortcut "System Update.lnk" installed in the "c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\lenovo thinkvantage tools" folder
--> I am wondering if one or more of the folders in this path is somehow hidden on your system, please check it

Adobe Acrobat 8 - file updates not installing on Win 7 Professional

How do I install MSP file updates to Adobe Acrobat after downloading them? I have just installed Acrobat 8.0 from the original installation CD on a new PC running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) and have downloaded the update to 8.1.0 to begin with, but on clicking it get the error messsage 'This patch could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package'. Updater is not working at all. It says it cannot find any updates. Even when I place the MSP file in the Updater folder to which it is supposed to download updates, it does not find updates. What is wrong? Why won't this patch install? Thank you! I really don't want to be stuck with 8.0.0 when I know that years of updates through to 8.3.1 are available, but for some reason they will not install intuitively.

Hi ,
Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Win 7. Please find the mentioned Kb: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html#main_System_requirements_for_Acrobat_8_Pro showing system requirement for installing Acrobat 8. As Acrobat version 8 is very old product so I would recommend you to purchase Acrobat11 which has more enhanced features and functionalities.

System Update not working correctly

Hi forum,
System Update (Version 4.00.0024) is not working correctly on my T500 with Windows 7.
1: Not detecting old versions
SU is not detecting, that there is an old version of Access Connection (5.42) installed although there is a new version 5.50 avaliable. I had to do a manual update.
2: Not installing a suggested update
Each time I run SU, I get a suggested update for "Fix for Issue of HDD with HDP Detection for Windows Vista/7". After downloading there comes a meaningless message "package was not installed" (Paket wurde nicht installiert). No hint for any error.
3: Some drivers (e.g. for the ultranav) have not been downloaded at all - I had to test the functions of some hardware components and download the appropriate drivers manually in case of malfuncion.
Probably there is a solution known within the forum community, at least this should be a message to lenovo (I received no response from the help desk when reporting this finding).

R61 System update not working

System update is not working: It tells me that it has to install a new version of system update. When I press OK, it shows a message from lenovo and gives the option to install a new version of system update. When I select install the download fails with the message "System Update konnte nicht heruntergeladen werden. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie über eine aktive Netzverbindung verfügen und versuchen Sie es erneut". The network connection is OK, or I would not be able to post this message. Therefore, what else can I do?

And the Malicious Software Removal Tool Windows 8 and 8.1 for February 2015
All show up in Windows Update but won't install because it says they are Not Needed.
Are there any know fixes?

I, too have the same problem with Windows 8.1, only it's 12 updates, not 11.

The update settings were set to automatically install, but I changed them to download automatically and install manually, and deleted the SoftwareDistrubution/Download folder contents to re-download the updates.
They don't re-download.
The log says the last updates were installed 1/24/2015 (which should be correct), and no new updates have been installed for this cycle.
Windows Update is running correctly. This is the only Win 8.1 machine in the network with this issue (Mixed OS network with about 8 Win 8.1 machines). All other Win 8 machines have installed THESE UPDATES successfully. There are no known
differences in configuration between them.
Thoughts to fix this?

Updates not installing on some computers

I am pushing IE9 to computers. I have ~800 of 1600 computers that have installed the update. On the machines that the update has not installed I can find the below in the UpdatesDeployment.log, which references the update, no other logs show it:
<![LOG[Raising client SDK event for class CCM_SoftwareUpdate, instance CCM_SoftwareUpdate.UpdateID="Site_07BE0050-1DAB-4F0B-BE99-524582FE38AF/SUM_83cbc483-0437-4808-8b90-871bc8d04e96", actionType 12l, value NULL, user NULL, session 4294967295l,

As the snip shows, this was detected on the 14th, 3 days later it still isn't installed on this system and doesn't show in the software center.
83cbc483-0437-4808-8b90-871bc8d04e96 = IE9
I have checked the UpdatesStore.log, WUAHandler.log and UpdatesHandler.log for that entry and it doesn't exist. The system is still getting EP updates though. I don't see any errors in the logs either.

Hi,
In addition, have you examine PolicyEvaluator.log on the client when you run the Action Softwares Updates Deploy,ent Evaluation Cycle manually? And the PatchDownloader.log?

Safari and firefox freezing,updates not installing

Last week I had a problem with my laptop freezing a lot so I shut it off and it wouldnt turn back on. I brought it to the Apple store and the guy found that some system updates were not installing properly and he said that may have been the problem. He re-installed the OS and it was fine. I have brought it home and am now discovering that it is still having problems. Here are the problems I am experiencing:
1. Both Safari and Firefox are constantly freezing (showing the spinning ball). Sometimes it lasts a few seconds, other times 30 seconds or more.
2. I just downloaded some more system updates and when my computer re-started it said they could not be installed.
3. My printer no longer works. It says I need to install software in order to print, said to get the system updates. Before I got my computer fixed I never had to install anything to use the printer, I just plugged it in and it printed no problems.
This is a macbook pro with Snow Leopard OS bought in Jan 2011.

It sounds like you will have to create a external storage drive, copy your User file folders to it and remove all drives, then perform a
Restoring OS X - 10.6 "fresh install method"
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
May I note if you had previously made a clone and updated it from time to time, leaving it disconnected that you could have restored from it, even if your hard drive failed to function simply by holding the option key while booting. Would have avoided this "fresh install method" which is the hardest.
Please make a clone after the fresh install, you will be glad one day you did.
