Why won't the 10.6.8 update install?

I am doing a free install on a large hard drive.
I previously ran Leopard o my old mac, bought snow leopard, then upgraded to mountain lion. That worked fine.
Now i have put a 640gb hard drive in my mac, installed 10.6.3, works fine. Now i want to update to get the app store again and then get mountain lion again, on my new hard drive.
The 10.6.8 update WON'T install. I have tried about 10 times and it fails at the end EVERY time.
Any ideas?

It's been running for a while now, and a message has popped up that days
Repairing permissions for "Maconintosh HD"
Open error 1 : "Operation not permitted" o...Thanks_On_Upgrade.nib.keyedobjectives.nib
Warning: SUID file "usr/top" has been modified and will not be repaired
Permissions repair complete
No idea what the **** that means????

Why won't the iTunes directory listing update, yet the subscriptions will?

In the iTunes music store podcast directory, the listing for my podcast says that the most recent podcast is 5 November 2006, even though the podcast has been weekly since (as well as 2 years before that!).
The subscription to the RSS feed through my iTunes automatically updates when a new podcast is released, so I can only assume that the podcast has a valid RSS feed, and that the problem lies elsewhere. That, and the fact we have thousands of listeners downloading each week! Additionally, through feed validator, the rss feed came back as validated.
I tried pinging the iTunes store, and the screen said it was successfully pinged. Nothing in the listing has changed. Some strange thing happened in 2006, when the iTunes store did update the listing, and it stopped as soon as it started again!
Can anyone help?
The rss feed is http://www.brasscast.com/feed/rss.xml
Thanks
Lucas

One of the main causes of a feed not updating is that it no longer validates. In this case though, everything I can think of checks out, including the category tag (which was unchanged from earlier versions).
Even without pinging the iTunes Store, a feed will at some stage be crawled and have the updated info added to the database.
Sorry I couldn't be of help, this is a mystery.

Why won't the April 2014 iMovie update open?

Recently (about two hours ago), I installed the new April 2014 update of Imovie. however, every time I try and open the application, it says the following:
"iMovie quit unexpectedly. Click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically." But when I try and click "reopen" or "ok"
The same thing happens. By the way I restarted my computer and tried shutting it down but nothing works can someone please help?

Hi Cassielsmith13,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the rear camera on your iPhone is not functioning as you would expect and I know how frustrating situations like **** can be. In this situation, there are a few different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. Please use the steps located in the attached article to troubleshoot this situation.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Cheers,
Joe

HT4059 Why won't the titles of books update on my iPad? I went through and changed a lot of then, but when synced the titles and authors are the same.

I updated over 100 book titles and authors and when synced, everything is the same as it was before on my iPad. When it's connected to the computer the changed names are there.

Delete the references to them from the iTunes library and then either redownload them from the iTunes Store or use the Transfer Purchases function.

Why won't the new Nectar Search toolbar install into Firefox 25?

I have used the Nectar Search toolbar with Firefox since it was introduced with no problems at all. Nectar have recently introduced a new Search toolbar to replace the previous version, and although I have re-installed it 3 times on my PC, (Windows XP Pro) Firefox won't pick it up or recognise it.
I have checked with Nectar and it is not their problem, especially as the new toolbar works perfectly on my same PC if I use Internet Explorer!
Nectar assure me their toolbar IS compatible with Firefox 25.0.1 which is the one I am using.
HELP!!

I've sent them a copy of my post with a link to this thread. I expect that I will be told to clear my cache and browser history, and that sort of thing. Having worked in a software house, I have learnt never to expect a technically relevant reply from the help desk. However maybe they'll prove me wrong in this case. If I get a useful reply I'll post it here.

What is your operating system? Reader version ("latest" means nothing)?
Is this a local or only PDF? If online, in what browser?

Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

HT1657 Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

It won't let me download iOS 7. When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date. I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices. I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer. LOL I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now. Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit... Thank you for the advice though! Keep it coming! I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Are any fo the unsyning songs DRM protected?
What is the detail format of the non-syncing songs?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Why won't my iOS 7.03 update load on my iPad?

Why won't my iOS 7.03 update load on my iPad? It has said 1 minute remaining for 4-5 days. It may have not had enough room at first, but I deleted a bunch of apps so that now I have 7 GBs free.

If you can, try loading the iOS update using iTunes on your computer.

HT1338 Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to ios 5?

Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to a later version?

First, confirm that you really do have an iPhone 3GS and not a 3G:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939
If you really do have a 3GS, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, 10.7, on your computer.

I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

Wel your "answer" provides not only a bad comparison, but is disingenuous at its heart!
Apple sold a product (8GB iPod Touch) that one could have assumed to be 3rd generation at the time of purchase (because that was what all the other models of iPod Touch were at the time). Then when ios 4.3 came out, we who purchased one of these units found out that the 8GB Touch was really a 2nd generation model, and it would not ever be updated beyond ios 4.2.1 (8C148). Since the version (4.2.1) is BUGGY, it would be in the best interest of Apple to at least provide a bug-fix update release for these units. It is not like we are asking for all the new features of ios 4.3, just fix the BUGS, please, Apple!
