Macbook pro software update failure...

[rfanch3r]

I have a macbook pro that failed the software updates on, it kept stalling at configuring installation, after about 40 mins at less then a sliver of a blue bar I reset it.

This originally found 6 updates, after I reset it it found 4 and it did the same thing, after 30 mins of looking at the sliver bar I reset it and downloaded the 500+meg update that installed fine but I am worried that not only did it not install what it should have but that it will fail on all future installs.

Is there a way of resetting the software update so I can restart the installs or at least know the location of where the software update downloads the updates so I can run them manually?

Go to About This Mac, and click on the 10.5.3 and it should show your build number. If it's 9D34, your golden.

try a manual download:
if your on 10.5.2: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1053update.html
if your on 10.5.0/1: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1053comboupdate.html

Well its not the main update that failed its the initial updates that failed prior to me doing it manual.

When I first started it found 6 updates but then failed at the reboot screen when it looked like it locked up, I forced a reset, ran the update again and it found 4 different updates, this failed as well and I had to force a reboot, after then it started to give me an error message that the file wasnt found.

My concern is those older updates not being properly updated. I am looking for some solution to reset the catalog and or rerun the updates that was downloaded because as of right now I cant tell what needs to be updated if any of them failed.

I cant imagine it would have properly updated if I had to force a reboot each time.

I would imagine the 10.5.3 update downloaded all the ones you did not have installed.

It would explain the varying file size for everyone
