Greetings!

I've noticed a problem occurring on my Mac since i installed 10.9.4, i had hoped manually updating to 10.9.5 would resolve this but it doesnt. I get the same error each time i try and scan for updates:

"Cant connect to the Apple Software Update Server"

Not sure why its happening, my internet connection is fine and my other Mac finds updates without issue.

There is also no com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist in my user library folder (~/Library/Preferences), its only in /Library/Preferences. I tried deleting the one in /Library/Preferences and i saw that when i went to check for updates again it was recreated but the error still remains.

Any ideas what i can do to resolve this? :D

Mac thats having problems:
MacBook7,1 - 10.9.5
