Don't know y it does it but if you click 'apple' 'software update' and run until error message appears, take note of updates it can't install then go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ download the updates here, install & restart, error message away. My macbook pro now is up to-date so I don't know if error message will reappear until next available update, but should be sorted!

Let us know

Workaround for Software Update problem ("Cannot open file (-3001)

I recently upgraded my MacBook from Tiger to Leopard and immediately encountered the problem that Software Update refused to download and install the upgrades it detected, giving the error message:
"A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again"
even though I was of course already connected, and indeed would not have been able to get to the stage of attempting to download the upgrades had I not been.
Although I could in most though not all cases download and install each of the upgrades individually, this was pretty tedious, so I started to look for ways round the problem.
I have another user account on my system, and I found, more or less by chance, that if I gave that account admin privileges, then logged in as that user, Software Update worked perfectly, just as it used to do before from the main account.
It's very curious: maybe the problem is to do with file permissions? Certainly it seems to have nothing whatever to do with the particular upgrades that need to be installed: it either works for them all, or none.

Thanks

Good thinking! yea def would be a tedious process, although i only needed 2 updates & maybe same quickness to creating a new account, & I'm updating fine now. But yea for needing everything updated thats a great way around it

Cheers!
