Why can't I update software for my Airport card?
I have an iMac (5,2) with a 1.83 GHz processor and 1 gig of memory, running OSX 10.5.8.
It;s a great machine but I need wireless-n and wanted to install the enabler. I checked all the requirements, which I met, and paid for it on the Apple Store.
Directions said to first install AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002, then AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler in that order.
I meet all criteria for these updates as given on Apple site, but I keep getting a message that my computer does not "meet requirements for this update."
The Network tility definitely shows that my Airport Card is only enabled for a/b/g, so I'm completely puzzled here == don't know why this updatw on't take. Can anyone help?
And... someone e-mailed me last night to say that I have the only Duo 2 Core Intel iMac model ever manufactured that CAN'T use the wireless-n enabler. This is very frustrating -- basically that machine was outdated the second I bought it, brand new, because other machines being made at exactly the same time had that capability. Grrrr, arrgh.
Basically, this wireless-g machine is slowing down the resat of our wifi network when it logs on.
So far it also looks like there is no way for me to replace/upgrade the Airport Extreme card in my machine to one that uses wireless-n. Does anybody know of a way to do this that I haven't been able to find?

Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX?
Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX? The installation CD simply says that the software can't be installed while running this OSX.
Mountain Lion already has the most recent, updated version of AirPort Utility installed on your Mac. The version on your CD is out of date, so you can trash the CD.
Look in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility. -
How can I get updated software for my old ipod?
I have contacted ITUNES first. I have several songs I recently purchased and show downloaded. But they willnot sync to the IPOD. Therefore ITUNES can no longer help and has suggested that I need a software update. How can I get my IPOD updated with new software? I tried going into settings>general> but there is no option to select for software updates.
You probably don't update.
A 2nd gen can only go to 4.2.1
3rd to 5.1.1
4th to 6.1.3
5th to 7.0.2

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!
Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

HT4972 why can't i update the software on my ipad model MB292LL?
Why can't I update the software for my IPad model MB292LL? The ios is 5.1.1 and I have seen newer ios versions come out. Also, many apps aren't available for my Ipad because of the ios. Is this Apple's way of forcing you to buy a new IPad? If so, that *****!
The 1st generation iPad can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1

Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?
Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?
Which version of iOS is supported is a decision made by each
individual software developer. If there is an app that is not available
in iOS 5, contact the developer to see if they can provide a version
compatible with your iOS.
Perhaps one of these links may help:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -

Why can't I update or load new apps on my iPhone and iPad. It does not ask me for my password. I tried to sync from my laptop now I am unable to connect to any sites from internet explorer. When I try to update or load any app it tells me it is corrupt
You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection
Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server???
I am using mac osx 10.8 and now cant get print software for epson R2000 printer.After system update, my Epson Stylus SX 535WD was ''gone''. I tried in vain to add it as an IP printer (got the IP-address from the printer). The printer model is correctly recognized, software download starts -- but then the "software ... is not currently available..."
Resetting the printing system did not help. Downloading Epson Printer Drivers v2.15.1 from here
did not help either, downloading Epson Printer Drivers.
In the end, I re-installed the printer software from the original CDs. After that the printer showed up as a Bonjour Printer, and I could add it without problem.
But note: although the printer is installed now and working properly, I still get the old error message (...software ..not available...) if I try to add the printer as an IP printer !? -

I am getting the identical error message for an HP Officejet 7200 series printer.
First there is a message that software is available from Apple. You click to get it. Then it tells you that it is not currently available from the software update server.
I am running OS 10.8.2. Printer is on my home network (not USB).
I went to the Apple Software Dowload site and re-downloaded the latest "HewlettPackard Printer Drivers" (v.2.12) and installed them (twice). No dice.
Anybody found a way around this problem?
I solved all print related issues by avoiding HP, worst software I ever saw, this may not work for you though. -
