Unable to install maverick update
HI,
I am using a 13" macbook pro 2.3 Ghz intel core i5 which is about 3 yrs old and am currently using 10.9.3. Today it said that maverick software updates are available for my machine but when i try to install, I get a message which reads "Can't load data for OS X Update from the Apple Software Update server.(-1100)". I also have an iMac which is probably about 5 years old and also runs on maverick. When I tried the software update on that, there was no problem at all. Any advice please on what I should try?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have a iMac 5,1 made b/t 7/23/07-7/29/07 but have OS X 10.6.8 w/ 2GB mem but unable to install Maverick, Garage band and iPhoto. Would installing Snow Leopard 10.6.8 make it possible to install Maverick? Please help. Thanks!
The highest OS X version you can install on your model iMac is OS X Lion 10.7.5.
To get to this! you would need to purchase the retail OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD, first.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
OS X 10.7 Lion is no longer available, directly, from the Mac App Store. You need to contact Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE and ask for retail software sales and tell them you would like to upgrade your Mac to OS X 10.7 Lion and they will give you a special download code to download it from the Mac App Store. -
After installing "Maverick" update my Epson V300 scanner software does not work anymore. Epson does not seem to have a compatible driver (yet?).
It's not just scanners, my WACOM graphic tablet no longer works, am told by WACOM support that Maverick will not recognise it as it is too old!!! Worked perfectly with X 10.8 but not any longer - am well cheesed off as its going to cost me a few bob for a new WACOM!!! Thanks Apple

I ignored this for sometime but today I lost my patience and decided to fix this nagging problem. The update prevented me from using the shutdown option as then it would download the updates and then fail over and over again.
None of the steps helped however they set me on a path. I uninstalled all unwanted programs but that was not what fixed the issue. I noticed other than Office 2007 I also had installed Word viewer 2007 , Excel viewer, Powerpoint viewer. I uninstalled these
voila!! Windows update said I don't need these updates on which the install was failing, I checked for updates again and the above updates never appeared in the list of updates found.
I thought I will put this out there just incase someone else runs into similar situation as me. Good Luck. -
Installed Maverick, updated it and now cannot start up.
Very disappointed, I never thought apple will come out with such OS that has not stable yet. Install maverick last night and already had problem downloading it, but it's alright when I re-download it. This morning when I updated it, it boots up and went to log in page, after typed my password, I just stuck there for 30 minutes, I forced it shut down and restart but won't work, I even went into hardware check and everything seems fine. I start it up again and it say in the loading page for 45 minutes till now. Mine is early 2012 MacBook Pro 13 inches
Try to reset your password at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) as described in this document:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
What if I forget my Apple ID password?
If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information. -
Tip: Unable to Install or Update Apps Using the iPhone's App Store?
I had a problem today where I found myself unable to install updates, or install new or previously purchased apps using the App Store on the iPhone. However, I had no problem with the installation of apps when I plugged my iPhone into my computer, opened iTunes and dragged the app I wanted over to my iPhone. So, I did the usual: I tried a reboot, and, when that didn't work, I powered my phone off and waited a few minutes before turning it back on. Still no love with the updating or installation of apps using the App Store on my iPhone.
Here is what I did do to fix it:
I keep backups of my iPhone on my MBP and I back up my phone regularly. If you do not, you should start doing so. Anyway, I went ahead and plugged my phone into my computer and launched iTunes (I also update my MBP daily if necessary, so the most current version of iTunes was used).
Once my phone showed up in iTunes and I could select it, I right-clicked on the iPhone's name (I use a MBP, but I know Windows users might view this, too, so universal language is what I will use - for Mac users, right-clicking means using two finger tap on a touchpad or using the good 'ol Control-click) and selected "Back Up" from the menu.
Once the phone was backed up, I right-clicked again on the iPhone's name and selected "Restore from Backup...".
I made sure the value for "iPhone Name" was correct and that the "Last Backed Up" day and time values were correct and I clicked the "Restore" button and let the restore process finish completely (wait until your iPhone shows up in iTunes again before doing anything else with your phone).
Once the restore was complete, I was extra cautious and powered off then powered on my phone. Finally, I went ahead and plugged it back into my MBP and made sure that the phone showed up in iTunes.
Following all of that, I launched the App Store on my iPhone again, entered the password for my Apple ID and updating apps, installing new apps, and installing previously purchased apps from iCloud all worked again.
Please note that this process is much different than just simply clicking the "Restore" button on your iPhone's homepage in iTunes. That will prompt you to backup your phone, completely restore it to factory defaults, and, then require you to restore from backup to get all your settings and such back. This is not the route I took - I simply restored from an existing backup. I want to make sure that this point is clear. Although, if restoring from an existing backup does not solve the issue at first, then perhaps a restore to factory defaults followed up with a restore from a backup will do the trick, too. I just did not want to waste my time taking the much longer route first and was happy to find my iPhone's App Store working again by simply restoring my phone using an existing backup.
I have seen a lot of posts regarding this issue in the support communities, with none of them having an answer (even after calling Apple Support). I hope this helps anyone else that has had, is having or will have the same issue! Feel free to post comments regarding other solutions you have found for the same issue - let's have one discussion where all possible solutions can be posted so iPhone users do not have to sort through a bunch of unhelpful discussions just to find a solution that was not yet documented (like I had to).See:
Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products

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've got an imac 27inch, just installed Maverick and updated Pages. Power went out in my house and now, when I open Pages, it flashes a brief recovering screen (do you want to reopen?) then crashes completely. Need help. Thanks.
I have the same problem. I have never had a problem with Firefox before, and use it as my main browser. However recently, after updating to 3.6.8, its been crashing all the time. Up to 20 times an hour. Usually it occurs when I click a link from a Google search, or in Yahoo. Even if I send in a crash report and restart Firefox, it crashes as soon as the same page is brought back up, or the same link is clicked. I have also had it crash when completely idle. Its very frustrating as it is my favorite browser. I've resorted to using Google Chrome for the time being.

HT1338 Unable to install security Update 2012-004
I am unable to update my Mac (OS X Version 10.6.8) with the latest security update 2012-004 despite numerous attempts and even visitng the store and trying to install manually, HELP !
I can check for software updates that are available and click on the install & restart option but when the computer reboots an new software update check produces the exact same results. The software clearly isn't upadating. I initially had 2 updates - the other being Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 11. After fiddling around for ages I managed to get this update installed by going to the downloads page and installing directly. However, I have had no sucess with the Security update. The last Security update installed was 2012-002. I have tried to find and install Security Update 2012-3 without sucess.Try reinstalling the Snow Leopard combo update (again). If it has already been done it won't hurt to do it again on top of the existing one.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Restart your machine and then try to download the security update 2012 -004 which I believe is the latest. -
