Updating Server 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 hangs every time

We are running a Mac network with around 150 clients with home and sharepoints on a Dual 2.3Ghz/8GB Ram XServe and have had some major issues with AFP slowdowns.
We are eager to get 10.4.8 installed, but every way we've tried it (locally using Software Update, Combo Update download, regular update download, installing from Server Admin from another computer), it just hangs either at "Locating the software to update" or during the middle of the installation progress.
Can anybody help, and if so what other info do you need? (logs, etc)
Thanks.

XServe Dual 2.3Ghz/8GB Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Sorry I haven't updated this, I forget that it doesn't send an email when someone replies. We were able to install the update using Server Admin from a different computer. Don't ask me why this worked, but somehow it did. We are still having an issue with the server which we were hoping would be cured by this, but I will detail that in an AFP thread.
Thanks!

    They are updated through the Software Update facility, not the Mac App Store.
    Thanks for popping in....
    My iLife apps are all from retail install disks predating Lion/ML; I am running 10.8.4 and as soon as I choose Software Update from the menu, the app store 'Updates" window opens with "checking for updates". I believe that behavior (SU being directed to MAS) was changed with ML?

  • Update download of Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1 hangs numerous times.

    Just joined CC after San Francisco tour. Update download of Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1 hangs numerous times. Initial download of all CC apps was successful.
    Thus, I cannot update download any/all CC software.
    FYI: Win 8 laptop. FireFox browser.
    Also, is remote access possible to fix this download hang problem?
    How can I contact Adobe CC tech support directly?
    Perhaps this hanging download problem is a problem on Adobe's end due to high traffic after San Francisco tour event. Tried unsuccessfully several times last night (Friday) and this morning (Saturday).
    How can this problem be fixed?
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • HT203175 How do I install iTunes on Windows Server 2003?!? I get an error every time!!

    I am having trouble installing any version of ITunes 10.5 or later
    on my Windows 2003 Server PC. I receive the following error
    every time I try to install it...
    "Apple Mobile Device Support requires that your computer is running Windows XP SP2 or newer"
    I anyone has had this same problem I would appreciate any help!!!
    Thank you!!!

    I've googled my problem with many hits stating Itunes can indeed be installed
    by making changes to the msi packages and I believe a few
    registry hacks. It sounds like it can be done, but before experimenting with
    those suggestions I thought looking to the Apple community on the official site
    might glean a better remedy.
    I'm just surprised Apple doesn't support any Windows Server applications
    even though Windows Server 2003 came out after Windows XP,
    (Server 2003 - 2003____XP - 2001)

    updated to the 6.1 last week. I have a app for a local news paper that I pay a monthly fee to read on line and now since the update I have to sign in every time I read a diffrent article. What changed?

    Has the app in question been updated to the latest version?
    Has the app developer been contacted?
    What troubleshooting, if any, has been tried?

    Hi,
    Finally I made an update. I used download files from Adobe update pages (the same websites that were offline for few days), I couldn't do it automatically from PS CS5 application. Last problem is Adobe Extension update, can't do it automatically and manually becouse there are no update files for Adobe Extension CS5 for Windows (only for Mac). Most important is that my Camera Raw can open files from my cameras now. Thank You for your help.
    Hey abdzi could you give a short explanation were you found which download files?? I have the same problem and realy need the Camera Raw update. Please!! Thank you

  • HT4628 I upgraded to the Mavericks update recently, and my computer disconnects from the wi-fi every time it goes to sleep now.

    It never used to disconnect so frequently or quickly. It is extremely annoying. Why does it suddenly keep disconnecting with this new update?

    Words cannot describe how angry this problem makes me. How can world's largest tech company not been able to fix their biggest bug for this many months now?!?!
    All these forums are overflowing with the same **** problem: WIFI DOESN'T CONNECT AFTER COMING BACK FROM SLEEP ON MAVERICKS.
    How many thousands of people have to post the same godddamn problem for how long?
    And no, disconnecting Bluetooth doesn't help (even if it did, its not an acceptable solution). I took my MacBook Air to Apple store twice already and they cannot help either.
    aaaAAAAaAaaAAaaarrrrghhh, I'm going to go insane from this problem.
    I miss Steve.. he wouldn't let something like this go on for this long. Can a half a trillion dollar company pay attention to its own support forums or at least google "wifi-not-connecting-after-sleep-mavericks" and realize what incompetent company you have become?!

  • IDVD Hangs every time since most recent updates

    my computer installed the updates as usual when i get a software update. i ran disk utility and it showed a lot of ACL found but not expected and Warning: SUID file has been configured but will not be repaired. The Apple guy at the genius bar said this was normal with Leopard. i don't know what the last two updates were, i can't remember how to recheck what i did, but now, iDVD will not open. it'll bounce on the dock, then hang up. i just burned 2 dvds last night form iMovie. someone help please...

    Yeah - well to be precise, it renders the menus (stage 1) and then moves on to rendering the slideshow (61 photos) and then hangs at that point. This is a complete system hang - I can't kill any applications, nothing fixes this apart from a hard reset.
    I ended up going back to a 6.0 Theme, and it worked first time - reading another thread here others are suggesting it's bugs in 7.0 Themes, and iDVD 08.... I'd believe it given the fix of 6.0 Theme.
