Unable to install any updates on MBP with snowleopard

I think I have snowleopard. Updates go through the download process, then it says it's writing files, etc.., then.. "unexpected error occurred", "none of updates can be installed" No further explanation is given. I'm trying to update my iphone, but i need to update itunes first, AND I CAN'T!
Can anyone provide real help??? Please!?!

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

I am unable to install any updates to my MacBook?

Every time I try to update the software (when the Software Update" panel opens up), I can download the software but after downloading it says "Unable to install software" "An unexpected error occcured".....
I have plenty of HD space (100G available out of 320G), and I've tried repairing permissions, restarting etc but I still get the same error message.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi...
"Unable to install software" "An unexpected error occcured".....
If you have anti virus software instaled, disable that.
If that's not the issue, run Disk Utility to verify the startup disk. Not the same as repairing permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click Verify Disk
If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

I recently reinstalled CS5, but I am unable to install any updates. I keep getting the message that the installer is damaged.

I'm new to this forum. What can I do to repair or replace the damaged update installer?

Without system information and other details nobody can tell you anything.

Unable to install any upgrades

I am unable to install any updates on my MBA with OS X 10.7.2. They all result in "An unexpected error occured". I have tried with lots of different updates, firware update, Lion update etc with the same result.
Any ideas?

The code below is from trying to install update "Airport Utility" version 6.0 from The standard OS X Software Update function. The user (me) is prompted with "An unexpected error occured". I have tried with EFI Firmware, Max OS X Update combined 10.7.3, All packages. The result is allways the same.
Thanks, Jesper

Unable to install SQL Server 2012 along with BIDS & VS 2012 on Windows 7

Unable to install SQL Server 2012 along with BIDS & VS 2012 on Windows 7 professional.
I get the below error
Could not find vsjitdebugger.exe
Blogs say anti-virus is stopping but I dont have one on the system.
Note: I had used SQL 2008 on the system previously and has a refresh i have deleted all the software to speed up the system.
Now i could not install both the software.
Can I get some help regarding this?

Hi Nandu,
As your description, you come across an error(vsjitdebugger.exe cannot be found). Please confirm if the error occurs during the installation of SQL Server 2012. If so, please help post SQL Server setup logs. By default, SQL Server setup log file locates
in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Base on my research, this error could be caused by that the previous uninstallation is improper and vsjitdebugger.exe file could be mistakenly deleted.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could start your computer into Safe Mode and fix your problem with one of the following methods. For more information, please refer to the article:
http://www.fixerrorkit.com/fix-error/fix-vsjitdebugger.exe-error.html.
1. You could execute the sfc /scannow command following steps below.
a. Press "Windows+R", type in cmd and then right click "Run as administrator"
b. Type in sfc /scannow (There's a space between sfc and /scannow) into the dialog and hit Enter key and click ok.
c. Wait until the System File Checker finishes the check.
2. You could use a Windows repair installation, also known as a Startup Repair to repair your Windows system files.
3. You could install the latest Windows updates to fix vsjitdebugger.exe error. Microsoft often releases new service packs and system patches to replace or update some DLL files of Windows system.
4. You could use third-party tool such as Automatic Error Fix Tool to fix your vsjitdebugger.exe error. However, Microsoft cannot make any representations regarding the quality, safety, or suitability of any third-party software or information found there.
In addition, if you are unable to install Visual Studio, I suggest you post your question in Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum at
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vssetup . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

I am unable to install extensions, they show up with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after I restart.

Hi,
I am unable to install extensions, they show up with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after I restart.
The "Staged" folder is present and remains after a restart, but the extensions do not get installed. They show in the extensions page with the "will be installed after you restart Firefox" message and remain like this no matter how many times I restart.
Any Idea's?
Running Firefox 24.0 on Windows 8.1
Many Thanks,
BD
P.S. Just tried to install the "troubleshooter" add-on before posting the question and I got an error saying it cannot install because it cannot modify the needed file. (I did it manually instead)

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

Unable to install any software on Nokia E5-00

Hi, I have updated my E5 software from .042.010 to .042.014 on 06/06/2011, after the updation I am unable to install any kind of software on my cellphone. At the time of installation, it somehow stop responding and I have to restart the phone to continue my work. Please advise what to do. RV

Although you would need to backup essential data first, it may be worth resetting device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself).

Unable to Install any packages in Fink

I am unable to install any packages either via Fink commander or via the terminal. I was able to install some just the other day, so I don't know what went wrong.
I have not been able to get Fink commander to see any package lists, despite following every bit of advice I could find in these forumns and on the net. Also, I updated the repositories rsync as instructed on the net. I can see the list of Fink packages by running "Fink List". However, when I try to install "sudo apt-get install xyz package" I connstantly receive the error "xyz package not found".
I'm sure this is a case of operator error, only I don't know what that error might be. I would be most grateful for anyone's help in this regard as I really enjoyed the Fink programs like kdegames that I was able to install before I started having this problem.
My thanks to everyone for any assistance they can provide.

I appreciate your previous response, instructing me to enter "source /sw/bin/init.sh as a user in order to run Evolution.
My problem is that this solution only lasts until I logout. When I log back and and try to run evolution via terminal, I receive the error "Command not found". Once I enter your instruction again, all is well-for that session.
Is there a way I can do this globally and make it "stick"? By making it stick I mean so that I don't have to do it each time I want to run evolution.
These issues of course don't happen when evolution is run as admin user. Also, it's worth noting that evolution is the only fink program that causes these problems. Other KDE programs like kgeography and kmahjongg don't have such issues.
I appreciate any feedback you can give with this issue.

Need help on how to stop this and get the updates to work.

I am havin' this same problem. I've upgraded to Snow Leopard and when i checked for updates, in this case for 10.6.6 version, when I click to install, and the system should aks to me my password to continue, nothing happens. Then I've tried to install 10.6.6 combo to see what happens, nothing happened. So I started to search for a solution and I finded a guy with this same problem and he said that he went to update section on apple's website and downloaded the version 10.6.1 and then it worked fine. Unfortunately, in my case nothing happened, again.

OSX 10.8.5 Can't install any updates for any of my 3rd party software

Hi Guys
Don't know if any of you out there can help me but for some reason I am unable to install any unpdates for ANY of my third party software on my System Drive or any other drive for that matter. I continually get the little yellow triangle on the drive icon at the "destination select" stage of any update installation. Ive never had this problem before and it's only been happending over the last week and i haven't changed any OSX settings. Also im logged in as the Administrator and have the permissions set to read & write to all my drives.
Has anyone experienced this too?????

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.
