Update OSX 10.2.8 Build 6R73 repeatedly fails to install.

Hi,
I have an elderly but beloved iBook, 900Mhz Power PC G3 with 640 Mb.
I have just replaced the failed hard drive and I have used the disks that came with the iBook to install OSX 10.2.1. I have successfully installed some updates e.g. Quicktime 6.2, Safari 1.0 and Battery 1.1. However the major Mac OSX Update Combined 10.2.8 Update Build 6R73 (100 Mb) has failed after several attempts.
The message says unhelpfully "The installation encountered a problem".
I have successfully run the iBook Apple Hardware test SW version 1.2.4.
What now?
As always any advice will be treasured.
Thanks

It's been a long time since I encountered this so bear with me--lost a few brain cell to some darned fine microbrews since then!:
Some G3 Macs did not take to the "big leap" of going from the Jag base (10.2.1 in you case and 10.2.3 in the case of my retail install set). We often had to bring the OS level up gradually.
To get one of my G3s fully updated after an Archive & Install. I ended up doing this via downloads, not automatic updates;
base: 10.2.3 from retail install disk set
step 1: d/l and install 10.2.4 incremental (not "combo")
step 2: d/l and install 10.2.6 incremental
Step 3: d/l and install 10.2.8 combo
There was an older build of 10.2.8 that was a beast but I think it's been off the servers for years. You should be OK with build 6R73. As your base is lower than mine, you may need to find 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 incremental updaters also.

  • Why does Acrobat Pro 11.0.7 updates repeatedly fail to install?

    Why am I suddenly getting the error every time autoupdate runs? This just started. I tried uninstalling as directed. When I try to download my previously purchased COMPLETE application, nothing happens. Downloading from the Adobe site gives me an application that Adobe wants me to spend $14 on EVERY month. I've already paid for this application once - I'll be damned if I will pay again. I run Mavericks 10.9.5. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

    Try http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (or MAC). With XI, you just go ahead and install the latest. It indicates the update applies to any previous updates. For previous versions of Acrobat. most of the updates had to be installed in order. When you do the installation, be sure to be logged in as the administrator (as when you installed the original XI) and have anti-virus disabled.

  • Security Update (KB954430) repeatedly fails to install (Code 64C)

    Things I have tried:
    - hotfix tool
    - disabling virus protection
    - downloading and manually installing the update (Error: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.)
    - downloading and running this update: Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64.msu
    - update from Windows Install DVD (I think this is called an in-place install)
    I fear I will have to format and reinstall Windows and all my programs. Is there anything else I can try? Is it terribly risky to simply continue working without this update?

    Method 1:
    Follow the instructions in the link below to rename Software distribution and catroot folders and try to install the service pack.
    You cannot install some updates or programs

  • Update 9.0.2 to Acrobat 9 Pro fails to install

    Am trying to update Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, and the update fails to install

    Normally you would do the updates from the Help>Updates menu from within Acrobat. Sometimes the server has issue or other problems come up and the updates do not work for some reason. The current level of AA 9 is 9.5.5. To do the updates manually, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (similar for MAC, but you did not state the OS), download from the latest to the earliest. The reason for this order is to note with each update the previous update that is needed. Then install the updates in order. You only have to reboot after the last update.

  • InDesign crashing, newest update fails to install

    I have uninstalled InDesign, restarted my macbook, reinstalled, and then tried the update, which says it has an error and fails to install. The current version crashes after asking it to do anything after opening the programme, such as opening a file or trying to select any of the menus.
    I use a Wacom Bamboo tablet: could this have anything to do with it? A colleague had a similar issue with Illustrator and the Wacom driver. Would this affect the update installation?

  • Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070005

    Hi,
    We are using Win Server 2008 R2 std. Server and Win 7 Professional X64 clients. During the second batch of update we got an Error while updating on one client machine and the system restoring back automatically However other clients are updating and working
    fine. Then i tried to install the updates one by one manually then successfully installed all the updates except one ie. KB2862330. It keeps failing then i found an article suggest to check the update with Admin Previlage, disable Antivirus and Scan the
    computer for Malware (Using MS Security Scanner and Malwarebytes). I tried both but never works. After that i got 2 batch of updates, everything is updating and trying to update this (KB2862330) and failing till date. What is the issue and why its not updating
    on one machine?
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070005: Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2862330).
    KB Article Followed : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968003/en-us

    Okay, good. The SURT shows no errors.
    So now we can blame the problem exclusively on the update itself.
    And yes... there are still known, ongoing issues with KB2862330.
    Truly, my suggestion is to just not install it at all. Unless you've identified a known risk via a USB vector on particular systems where the vulnerability would be considered a critical risk, I'd say that the risk caused by the vulnerability is significantly
    less than the risk of additional headache caused by the update itself. I have still not deployed MS13-081 to any of my systems, and frankly, I don't plan to.

  • MS Office 2010 Updates failing to install

    Hi,
    We have 9 MS Office 2010 updates released in April 14th 2015, that are failing to install on a Windows 7 machine. WindowsUpdate.log file shows and error message as "Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070656" , for all
    the 9 updates.
    Tried to restart the system and install updates again, which failed.
    Please suggest how to proceed on this.
    Regards, Lorin Davis

    in addition to/instead of restarting the client, try this on the client:
    1. stop the windows update and background intelligent transfer services
    2. delete everything in c:\windows\softwaredistribution
    3. start the windows update and background intelligent transfer services
    4. go back into windows updates in the control panel and check for updates again. or  run "wuauclt /detectnow" from a command prompt.

  • Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

    Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

    Hello,
    Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
    To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
    There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
    Best of luck.

    Hi there, same problem here but on a PowerPC.
    I just bought AE7 and installed it on my G5 (with then 10.3.7 running on it). Install went fine but the application would not start up.
    Thought this might be a good time to clean up and installed fresh new system on this G5, updated it to 10.3.8 and first thing: installed AE7 again.
    But: same problem. In fact, all Adobe application will not start up! The icon bounces a little and then nothing but a crash report.
    For a moment I thought I had the solution, because I disabled all the "user fonts". Everything worked fine. Then I installed, as before, my Apple applications (Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, etc) and, oh no... same problem over again. The Adobe application will not start up!
    Tried to disable all non essential fonts: no cure. This is driving me crazy....
    Any suggestions?
