Various Software Updates (Intel)" Can't be Installed (verification failed!)

This is essentially a repost of a problem unsolved, but with a new wrinkle:
When I first reported this two months ago, it was just happening on an Intel iMac. Now, someone else in the office just purchased a MacBook Pro, and from the SAME NETWORK, is have the exact same problem!
The process is to run Software Update. Select an update. Downloading begins. But when it gets to the end, Software Update reports:
The update "<whatever the update is named>" Can't be Installed
The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or correupted since being signed by "Apple".
Tried this several times, same message.
So, in the case of the 10.4.8 update, I tried downloading the stand-alone installers (MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg and then MacOSXUpd10-1.4.8Intel.dmg).
Both stand-alone packages downloaded, but got a "verification failed" message in the Safari DOWNLOADS window.
Plenty of hard disk space. Permissions Repaired.
I SUSPECT the problem has something to do with either 1) the NetGear router (which connects to the DSL modem) or the Airport Base Station (which connects to the physical network, which connects to the NetGear Router).
Both Macs (iMac & MacBook Pro) are connected via the AIrport base station.
I'm pretty sure I have a good network connection, because I am able to use Apple Remote Desktop to see into the network and connect to the iMac with no connection errors.
Any ideas from all you gurus out there?

I am having the same problems on my wifes iMac. Any large updates just won't come down. Someone had suggested memory problems, but I have done a full hardware check and all is cool. My G5 on the same network get's it's updates OK.
However, when I try to download the combined 10.4.8 update (149Mb) for my wife (via my machine) I still get a verification error! I don't know what to do next. The problems started with the 10.4.8 update, so maybe it's 10.4.7 related?

Hello,
These types of errors usually indicate that the download was somehow corrupted or incomplete.
Most commonly, you'll get these when you are on dial-up, and there is line-noise.
But, I've also found some download servers will cause this kind of corruption if they are experiencing trouble at the moment.
I would not worry just yet.
Perhaps try again tomorrow and see if perhaps there is just a server problem. It could be a problem with Apple's server, or any server between you and Apple (such as your ISP).
This happens from time to time. I've even had it happen with small files from other places as well. Even DSL / Cable connections can have poor connections at times.
I hope this helps.

I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Error 1638 - iPhone software update server can not be contacted.

Hi,
I can't update my iPhone iOS to 4.3.3 with iTunes since a few months i still have the 4.3 version. I am using iTunes with an iMac with all software updated.
I am getting the error "iPhone software update server can not be contacted..."
I made a few research and tried the following fix:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 for error 1638 > 1004
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 with no success (specifically the Blocked by configuration section - 2 Rebuild network information, the hosts file under /private/etc/hosts had no information that needed to be commented with #)
After all troubleshooting I re-installed iTunes with http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1224
And I am still getting the same error...
What can I do?
Thanks for your help

Same issue still with OS X Lion, last version of iTunes, can't update to iOS 4.3.5 or restore my iPhone 4. iPhone isn't Jailbrake. I am allways getting the error: "the iPhone "****" cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable." (error 1638).
I'd like to update iOS or restore my iPhone if needed but this doesn't seem to work neither as the problem is related to the conenction to the server.
Can anyone help?

Mac OS X Update Combined can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirement for this update?

Hello everyone,
I just purchased MBP 2.6 Ghz running Lion 10.7.3 and I am trying to install the Combo Update 10.7.4.
After I launch the installer at the Destination Select step I get this message:

Please Help

Welcome to Apple Communities
If it's a new MacBook Pro (2012), you have to update in  > Software Update. They need a special version

Tried to install Mountain Lion and it comes up with the following message Mac OS X Update Combined can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update. My laptop is using 10.7.3

Error Msg: "The update "iTunes" can't be installed"

Hi, I'm trying to do a software update for iTunes and I got this error message: "The update “iTunes” can’t be installed". It then said that it could not be verified. Any ideas why and how do I get around it?

With that one, I'd try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple Website:

"Software Update Failure - an error occurred installing i0S6."

I tried to update my iphone 4 through my settings and got the error "Software Update Failure - an error occurred installing i0S6." This is not the first time that happens. I got the same error in the last 3 ios updates. The only way that I found to solve was to update by itunes, but as we have the option to update through iphone, I want to do that.
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem will be most appreciated.

In the last 3 ios updates I had to use itunes because through the settings I always get the same error message. The point is that I don't want to use the itunes. I want apple to fix the problem (as I can see I'm not the only one having problem). I have 2 friends that did the update in the same time that I was trying to do, and for both them it worked.

'ipod software update server can not be contacted' HELP!!!!

I am trying and trying to get my husbands Christmas gift to work. I did not know much about ipods when I ordered it. I got a refurbished one (first mistake) It is formated for a mac. I can NOT get it to reformat for my PC. A window keeps showing up that says "ipod software update server can not be contacted" and under it "make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later"
I am about ready to toss this thing out the window. Or send it back and eat the 20% re-stocking fee the company has.
This is our first ipod and I am now really turned off by them
Do you think that if I took it to the apple store that they could reformat it?

I have an iPod 30Gb which updated to 1.3 without problem on WinXP, and another which doesn't update on Win2K. Win2K doesn't have a built-in firewall and I don't have any third-party firewall installed on it. So the port issue you just mentioned shouldn't be at stake.
So, to get to the bottom of this, I just wasted a couple hours trying a host of things. I fired up Wireshark (freeware protocol network analyzer), here's the bottom line:
1. While running the built-in iTunes "Network Diagnostics", Wireshark does show that iTunes communicates with the following remote services:
www.apple.com.akadns.net
a227.da1.akamai.com
phobos.apple.com
The result of that test says connection active: no, Connected: no, etc. Red dot on the middle test.
2. When I click on the Update button in iTunes' iPod section, Wireshark doesn't show any HTTP request, or any other type of remote request, for that matter. This means iTunes simply never accesses the update site.
3. I don't think any port is blocked in Win2K (although I read somewhere that disabling some Windows services can close some ports). Another block could be made router-side (either local router or ISP), but as I've already mentioned, iTunes has no trouble accessing the update site on my XP machine, and they're on the same router; the only difference is, the Win2K laptop is plugged into an Ethernet cable, the XP laptop is on wireless.
So, where the explanation given to dealyb is valid because of the company's firewall, it doesn't seem to apply to me.
More investigations needed. If anyone wants to pick up from there and provide additional data... This is exceedingly annoying.

since latest ATV software update i can no longer do home share or air play

Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

Following a software update, I can no longer access/authorise music purchased via iTunes from my old Apple ID, which I have not used for 8 years, and no longer have password. Any ideas how I can re-access/recover that music?

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.
