My internet connection works fine but when I try to do a software update, it fails and gives me an error. Same with Quicktime when I try to watch the presentation. Anyone know why this is happening?

These are the error windows that I get:

Maybe Apple announced some new products today including software that is overwhelming their servers?
 
I got this on my iMac when I came back in between terms at uni, I think I remedied it by downloading the 10.5.6 combo update off apples website, because I got that same error you got with the software update app, after that I was able to use the software update app just fine.

Don't know whether that's relevant to you though.
 
Well I got it working now and I think I found the problem.

I recently had glimmerblocker uninstalled because I didn't need it anymore but this move made Safari and Opera stop working for some really weird reason. Firefox still worked fine and I could access the internet with it. The reason I suspected glimmer blocker was the problem was because when i disabled glimmer blocker previously, it wouldn't let me go to the internet via Opera.

So I installed it again and now everything works, which puzzles me. 😕

This means that I need to have glimmer blocker enabled to make everything run fine...
