hi all,

i've been having a lot of trouble with the latest security updates on my macbook lately. it downloads ok but when it comes to the install it freezes up! 😕

anyone else had this problem? if so how do i fix it?!
 
are you sure it was the client intel one? i just got this error message when trying to install it..."You cannot install Security Update 2008-007 (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."

help? 😕
 
If you are on Leopard (10.5.x), the update is here
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2008007clientleopard.html

(don't install the TIGER version - the System Requirements should be shown at the bottom of the download page).

If you happen to be on Tiger (10.4.x), get the update from
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2008007clientintel.html

I take it you are on Leopard and tried to apply the Tiger update (Leopard updates are generally Universal - Tiger ones are separate for PPC and Intel).
 
it worked! 😀

thanks heaps to that bobzune, it was the first real issue i've had with my mac

cheers

I'm having the same problem on an imac as well - the java update 2 ver 1 will not install. Tried the suggestion above on the combo updater, but still the same problem. It gets to about 66% in progress and hangs there.

Would deleting java folder and then updating solve it? Any suggestions?
