Intel Mac :: Why Did Lion Download Updates That Didn't Select
Apr 7, 2012
A couple of days ago I checked for updates for my Lion - I was in particular looking for the Java update to fix the recently reported security issue - and selected 2 items including the Java update for downloading. I checked the size of the items and they added up to be less than 200MB in total. But as soon as the downloading started, the total size suddenly became 1.4G!!! There was no obvious way for me to check exactly what I was downloading and de-select any unwanted updates. I didn't want to stop the downloading because I did want to make sure I have the Java update.
Info:
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I have "downloaded" Lion 10.7.4 twice. When it gets to the "Select a disk you want to install to" it will not let me select, nor does the "Install" button allow me to continue.
It seems that I cannot download Application Updates or even new Applications from the Web using Safari.I have been able to get around this by using Firefox to do it.
Everytime I attempt to download the new software, stops and advises that have been disconnected from the internet. I test this proposal and find all is working well and is, in fact, connected. Is this a server issue?
My imac will not shut off/restart or let me download the new updates because it says I have to quit the TextEdit first, but it will not let quit it. When I open up the TextEdit the Quit option is in a faded black/Grey color and does not do anything when I click on it.
Does anybody knows why I can't download software updates neither apps in the app Store, It appears to be a Network error, does it have anything to do with TCP or UDP Ports?

When I download a file it automatically goes to my download folder, I DONT WANT THAT. How can I set it like on a PC to choose which folder it should download to...on a file by file basis?
I am trying to install the new updates for Aperture and iPhoto. When I tell software updates to check for updates, it tells me all my software is current. I know there is a new version of Aperture and iPhoto because I installed them two days ago on a different computer.
I want only select episodes of some podcasts, not every single daily episode, even if I have to one by one select podcast episodes to download. Is there a way to subscribe but not automatically download all episodes? Version 10.4 or 10.5 itunes.
When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6.
My iMac hard drive died and I got a new one installed from Apple and my dad's friend installed Leopard for me and he started to download and install the updates from Apple and I don't know if he stopped the install midway but when I tried to download and install them NONE of them install. I called Apple and they told me to try something in Disk Utility with "verify disk" and it didn't work still and then they sent me something about trying to Archive and Installing but it seems really complicated. Is there anything else I can try?
when I try to down load system updates, I get a message that says I need to have permission to do this activity.....I'm the only person using my mac OS10.3.9
I am trying to run updates on my MacBook Air (Mac OS X Update/iTunes/AirPort Utliity) but after at least five attempts now I am getting the same error message:

iTunes has stopped deleting app updates after they have been downloaded. I now have 25 apps to download everytime I get a new update. I'm on latest version of iTunes 10.6.3 and OSX 10.7.4
When i try to download updates to my itunes it times out. I am on a wireless network and have looked for a way to extend the time. I have googled this without much success. Anyone know how to fix this.
When Flash Trojan was announced Apple sent 2 software updates. iMac downloaded and installed them via software update. (see attached graphic) Mac Mini did not and only advised that "that there is no new software and that software is up to date".

Everytime I try to download software that my retina macbook needs, it will crash during download. Says download was corrupt. Getting very upset. The update said mid2012 macbook update and has two updates for my printer. None will work. My macbook pro is 1 day old.

I have the developers iOS 6 Beta on my iPhone 4s. I need the latest iTunes 10.6.3 to sync with iTunes. I went to www.itunes.com as it told me to and I went to the downloads page. Usually you enter your email and click the download button. My problem is there is is no download button or email box! I need to download the latest iTunes and I can't. I did a software update, but it does include iTunes I tried it on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, all coming up with the same thing. I am also using a Mac.
