Updated from 10.4.2 to .3 and Mail and Software Update Stopped Working...?

When I click on software update it says
Preferences Error
Could not Load software update
Mail opens but no windows or panes open and you can't quit or anything, I always have to force quit.
I tried a manual update of 10.4.3 to see if that would work but when I tried to open the .pkg it wouldn't.
I also need to get Classic working.

Help please.
.pkgs still won't run. I double click and nothing.
I've repaired preferences, started from the Tiger CD and verified/repaired my hard drive through Disk Utility as well as Disk Warrior.
Software Update is still dead, as well as Mail.

  • 4S update from 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, says Software update failed

    The device is confirmed it is a 4s, but we never upgraded to IOS 8 yet.  I continue to get the Software Updated failed and the close and settings box comes up.  Whichever you click on it goes back to the update screen.  I am on very fast Wifi and the device is plugged in.  Two days ago it said there was not enough space, so we deleted videos and now there is 5.7 GB available.  I tried to update through ITunes, but the internet is too slow at home and it says 20 hours to update.  We tried that twice and after 15 hours the "software update failed" notification comes up.  Any ideas?  I also turned off the phone and turned it back on.

    I would reset the phone - no data loss involved - and try again

  • Mail, Safari, Software Update fail to launch after last update.

    After my last software update which included an update for Quicktime, iTunes and two other programs I ran Age Of Empires and left it running for a period of time.
    The computer froze hard and I had to hold the power button in to restart it.
    From that point I cannot get Safari, Mail, or Software Update to start. They launch, but about a second into the process they quit unexpectidly and will not re-open.
    When I try to run Safari or Mail through the terminal it comes up with the following:
    Last login: Sat Jul 14 13:51:39 on ttyp1
    /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari; exit
    Welcome to Darwin!
    wilbur-purdues-imac-g5:~ wilbur$ /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari; exit
    Segmentation fault
    logout
    [Process completed]
    I cannot figure this out and don't know what the steps are that I should go through to fix this one.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Miriam,
    I read the selection in MacFixit and went through the steps that they suggested.
    I even downloaded MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10PPC.dmg and when I went to re-install it the program Installer quit unexpectedly in the same manner that Safari, Mail, and Software Update did.
    I also noted that when I tried to start either Safari or Mail using the terminal (I don't have much expertise in this area) they stated that there was a segmentation fault
    Here is what was on the terminal screen:
    Last login: Tue Jul 17 12:28:25 on ttyp1
    /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer; exit
    Welcome to Darwin!
    wilbur-purdues-imac-g5:~ wilbur$ /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer; exit
    Segmentation fault
    logout

    It seems that I can install other programs using Installer, but I cannot do the upgrade. Maybe I have the wrong file.
    Thanks for the support so far.

  • I updated from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1 and ever since Firefox has run somewhat strangely. In particular when on sites with a lot of images like Facebook,etc

    Hello, I am writing as I am experiencing some issues with my favorite web browser after updating to Windows 8.1. Here are some details. I updated from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1 and ever since Firefox has run somewhat strangely. In particular when on sites with a lot of images like Facebook. It is like there is some kind of Flikr effect between the desktop and the images and between the images and the browser (almost like old 16 bit video games flikering). It is not too bad but it is an issue. I have tried resetting firefox and restarting the computer. I haven't tried a repair, and I haven't done an uninstall yet.

    thank you for helping, the issue seems to have been caused by the hardware accelerator

  • How to update from OS X 10.5 to 10.8 and on.

    I have OSX 10.5.8.  How do I update to 10.8 so I may then update to Mountain Lion, etc.?

    The first step in updating is to order Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20 US), install SL and on-line software update that to 10.6.9.  Then, determine if you can go to Mountain Lion by looking at the compatible machines listed in http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if you are on the list, go to the App Store and choose to buy Mountain Lion ($20 US), download and install.  If you do not meet the ML specs you can go to Lion if you have an Intel Core 2 Duo or above processer and 2 GB ram, though 4 GB is much better.  That is purchased by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and paying the $20 fee for the download code that will be sent in a few days in an email with instructions for doing the download.
    You can go from Snow Leopard to either Lion or Mountain Lion directly.

  • I have Iphone 5S and I never updated from IOS 7.1.2 to IOS 8 and now this morning I noticed that IOS 8.0.1 was available but since it had bugs it was removed, so can anyone tell me if I can update to IOS 8 not 8.0.1 but just IOS 8?

    No its not out yet, when I went in to settings it still says 8.0.1 and I just searched on google, it says IOS 8.0.2 will come out in a few days. I just want to get IOS 8, I don't care about IOS 8.0.1 or 8.0.2 .

    i downloaded an update from creative suite 5.5. to 6.0 and then switched computers for a few months. now I am back using the original computer and it looks like all of those Adobe applications (both 5.5 and 6.0) have disappeared. Maybe a "trial" was uploaded instead of the actual updates? Anyway, i just want to get the applications back onto my computer. i tried to enter the serial numbers on my original packaging but systems side error message from Adobe says they were already "redeemed" (which makes sense bc I already downloaded the updates. Apparently there is no phone customer service for Creative Suite anymore. ARRGGG. Any and all suggestions welcome!

    there is no update from 5.5. to 6.0.
    you could have upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0, but you would know that because you paid money.
    assuming you paid no money for a 6.0 upgrade, you still have your 5.5 license.  uninstall clean and reinstall 5.5 per http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

  • So I update from an old DroidX to a Iphone 5 and now I cannot get texts on my 2012 Ford Edge My Touch Sync.  I thought I was upgrading

    So I update from an old DroidX to a Iphone 5 and now I cannot get texts on my 2012 Ford Edge My Touch Sync.  I thought I was upgrading?   Before my text messages would come in and I could have them read to me as I was driving.   I can voice text messages as I am driving with Siri but now I do not receive responses.   Is there a way around this?

    Have you consulted the documentation for your car's system to see if it is compatible with the iPhone?

  • HT201269 I'm updating from my iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 and have been 'restoring' for 2 hours now and the progress bar still states I hae 6 hours remaining. Will it really take this long? How long should a restore take? It's a 32gb device. Thanks.

    I'm updating from my iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 and have been 'restoring' for 2 hours now and the progress bar still states I hae 6 hours remaining. Will it really take this long? How long should a restore take? It's a 32gb device. Thanks.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

    Hi to all,
    I tried to update my nephew iphone 4 version 4.3.4 (8k2), I did back-up everything before attempting to update and the result when I click down-load and update, it does not update instead it says,  itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. I did check my wire-less connections and the connection from my PC to wire-less is hundred percent okay. I did search using google.com to confirm and my connections is good. Is there any problem regardings my firewalls or any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

  • I recently installed Lion and now my software update won't work

    Everytime I try to click on software udpate it says "Checking for new software" with a progress bar and then
    "The Software Update Server is not responding. Check to make sure your network connection is operating normally. If there are no issues with your connection, contact your network administrator for assistance."
    My internet connection is fine and I suspect this is related to the Lion download. Please help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
