The software update will not install on my 3rd gen. iPod Touch
I've downloaded the software update to my computer, but when trying to install it to my iPod, it fails halfway through. I gave it about 5 hours the first time, but the progress bar didn't budge. I would reinstall the update but I don't know how to do that.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
(I am updated to iTunes 10)
i would recommend you don't upgrade because ever since i upgraded my ipod had to be restored and now all my songs skip. i never had this problem with my 3rd gen touch until the upgrade

I keep getting an error, and the Java Update will not install. What can I do?
Never mind. I kept trying, and finally when I opened "About This Mac" and clicked the software update from there (as opposed to the "Software Update" just below), the Java update finally worked.

AirPrint not working on my 3rd gen iPod touch
AirPrint not working on my 3rd gen iPod touch.
It works on my iPhone and ipad2.
I have a new HP printer.AirPring requires a 3G or later iPod. Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1 and that is what you say you have. If yours is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either. See:

OSX software updates will not install
Softward updates will not install on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.7.4). The updates download, but then during the installation process a message pops up saying that an error occurred and that nothing was installed. I've tried it 5 times with the same result each time.
Any suggestions (for a non-technical person)?Hello, macrmj.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple troubleshooting articles I would recommend going through that may help resolve this issue.

Why is the syncing so slow when I sync my 3rd gen iPod touch?
I am currently syncing my 3rd gen iPod touch to the newest version of iTunes. It is still "backing up the iPod" and it is still not done after 15 minutes. Is it because of my computer (windows 7 64-bit) or is it because I am syncing alot of things/items (apps, movies, music)? Or is it another problem?
Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 software updates will not install
I have five software updates that will not install. I have checked my hardware and my disk space and all seem fine. I also, downloaded and installed the Apple Software Installer Update 1.0 but my updates will still not install. Any other suggestions?
Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8. Then try launching the app.
if that doesn't help, try contacting the developer of the app > http://support.aspyr.com/home -
Software updates will not install...?
Hi all,
I have a number of updates I wish to install but am having some difficulty. The updates include itunes 8.2, J2SE 5.0, Quicktime & security updates.
I am getting the following message - "None of the checked updates could be installed - A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again"
My internet connection is fast & stable, my hard drive has 11.46gb available..
Is there anything else I should be trying? Any tips/ ideas?? All help is appreciated!Have you tried starting the computer in SafeBoot mode,
by holding the Shift key down on startup, throughout
the duration until a login window appears, then after a
desktop finder window is steady, use Go in the Finder
menubar to go into Utilities Folder. Then launch Disk
Utility from there; click on Macintosh HD & click on the
little button in the utility named 'repair disk permissions.'
After Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions' has run and
the permissions on the volume are repaired, quit the
utility and restart the computer normally. This may help.
Over the course of time, doing nothing to maintain the
Mac OS X system may result in odd behavior; some-
times months or years after running a computer, a few
odd issues may come up. In the case of Mac OS X, to
repair disk permissions before and after software update
and security update, and installations of applications, is
a form of preventative maintenance. Helps it work better.
A free downloadable utility interface tool such as OnyX
from Titanium Software's web page, can also help in
doing several kinds of maintenance. This can be set up
to run in an Automation mode and you can checkbox
several items, and in the utility's own Preferences, one
of them allow you to have the utility restart the computer
when the items in Automation are completed. This is
one of a few great freeware/donationware utility tools.
A side question: How was the last step in your iBook's
OS X version arrived at? Was it a small file update to
the latest numbered step or was it a larger Combo file?
If not the larger file, perhaps to repair disk permissions
and then get and install the large Combo 10.4.11 (etc)
over the existing similar version/step, then repair disk
permissions on the system on restart after installing it.
Not seeing the computer or trying the simple things
first (easier to do and show how, than to tell about)
makes these discussions sometimes a bit wary...
There is also a chance you may have to start the
computer from the Installer Disc and then use a
special Disk Utility version accessed within the
Installer's menu bar, prior to actually running the
Installer itself. The menu bar looks like the Finder
but says Installer in the upper left hand corner; so
the menu bar has drop down items. At some step
in the process, there is no menu bar, be watchful.
You do not need to run the installer, just Disk Utility.
You can repair disk, repair disk permissions, and
verify either. Choose repair on both counts, since
that will also verify and repair. And also note if
the drive SMART status verification says passed.
To boot from the installer disc, you have to hold
the C key down on startup until you see a screen
indicating you have a new window, and then the
second screen in 10.4 shows the menu bar on top.
If you need to go that far... Of course, the Installer's
booted Disk Utility can be used for further and more
advanced processes including totally erasing drives,
formatting, archive/installing, & other utility functions.
Knowing when to need to use some of these, and how
is part of the learning processes which can save you
time and money by getting a handle on the basics first.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Software updates will not install... error message
Software updates refuse to install for several weeks/months... backed up to six or more updates... cannot get any help from apple unless i pay them 75 dollars but i am sure it is something simple... when i attempt to update, i put in my pass code, they download and when they go to install the error message says "none of the checked updates can be installed, sorry an unexpected error has occurred" vague enough for you? Can anyone help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
What happens when you run Software Update?
Get MacJanitor and run the Maintenance scripts. When it's finished quit MacJanitor and restart your Mac.
Have you checked the hard disk for errors?
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free disk space. Not enough disk space can cause directory corruption.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode

Software Update will not install
I have this re-occurring problem:
1 - iTunes store will not load because it needs new Safari Update
2 - Mac searches automatically for software update and comes up with:
• Safari 4.0.3
• Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update version 1.0
• Security Update 2009-006 version 1.00
3 - Prompt appears for 3 items to be installed and Restart
4 - Computer logs out and then comes up with message " Software could not be installed on / "
I have been through this several times - if anyone can suggest a solution I'd be delighted

Today's (June 12) Software Updates Will Not Install
Anyone else having this issue? It downloads today's two updates to Snow Leopard (iTunes10.6.3 and AirPort Utility 5.6.1) and then proceeds with the progress bar which reaches a point 2/3 of the way and never progresses after 30 minutes. At that time, it keeps alerting that the installations failed. Anyone else having this problem?
Okay, the difference seemed to be that I could install them individually by manually downloading them and discover which of them is the culprit. It is the AirPort Utility Update that is not installing. I may try rebooting and installing but I want to wait a day or two to see if others are having this issue with update and Apple releases a revised one instead of installing something faulty.
This is what it says:
I just found another thread regarding failure installing this update (but it was in the OS 10.7 Lion forum:

The software update will not load
Sofware update window opens. There is a bar which says underneath connecting to server. Apart from green bar going across nathing else happens.
First, make sure you are logged into the App Store with the same AppleID that you used to purchase the apps.
If that is not it, look in the App Store under Purchases. Are they there?
If not, go into your account in App Store and click the link to show hidden purchases.
If they are still not there, use the support link in the App Store.
If they do show up, copy all the apps to an external drive, then remove them from your Mac. Go to the App Store, Purchases, and install from there. -
Update 7.0 will not install on ATV 3rd Gen.
I've been trying for days to get update 7.0 installed on my Apple TV 3rd Gen. It downloads fine but immediately says "The Update Failed..." I have restarted, reset, and restored the ATV but the update continues to fail. I'm out of ideas and can't seem to find similar issues online so I'm guessing this is an isolated problem. Any ideas?
Well, it took three Restores but the update is installing...finally!

When I click on wallpaper in my settings it shows the 2 current wallpapers. When I click on that to change them, it just sends me back to my home screen. As far as I can tell everything else is fine. Trying restarting the iPod and reseting the settings as well and still cannot get to the wallpaper page. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Yes, I tried reseting it originally (and again just now) and I still have the same problem. I restored (reset) all the settings before, are you suggesting I restore all the apps and files as well?
Thanks,
