    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.

  • 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).

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Cannot re-install or update Skype

    Until about a week ago, everything was working fine. Then I got a notification saying there was a new update for Skype. I tried to install it, but I got an error message saying another version of Skype was already installed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skype but it (along with many other applications) does not appear in my Control Panel to allow me to reinstall it. I've deleted every folder and program I can find related to Skype, including sifting through and deleting everything in the Registry, and I still get this error when I try to reinstall Skype. I have also tried to install Skype with the .msi file, and I still get this error. Please help, this is really frustrating.
    The error message is Code 1638.
    I am running Windows 7.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try to clear any currently installed version using this MS Fix It:

    If this will still not work, then try this Skype removal tool:

  • Unable to install WSUS Updates KB720211 x64 and KB2734608-x64 on windows server 2012 r2 standard

    Hi,
    Am testing SCCM 2012 R2 in virtual environment. To handle Windows 8 clients, need to install KB2734608 update, which is failing.
    Not able to install WSUS Updates KB720211 x64 too. The server is on Windows Server Standard 2012 R2 x64.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Agree with Michael. KB2734608 is applied to the WSUS 3.0 SP2. If we install the WSUS on Windows Server 2012 or later, the version of the WSUS becomes to v6.
