I have downloaded and tried installing it several times but it fails all the time. Really fed up of downloading 1.5 gigs so many time for nothing. I made sure none of the apps are on when the download completes but it didnt help. What am I supposed to get this update? I really want to use iMessage (Beta) and for it to install I have to update it from 10.7 to 10.7.4.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7)
You don't need 10.7.4 for that. You can download the beta on its own from here:
Fails how?
One possibility is that the hard drive is corrupt, try rebooting in recovery mode (hold down command-R at startup) and repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
I just opened my MBA yesterday so how likey is that the SSD has gone corrupt? I bought it in from UK in October 2011 but was kept sealed till now. So out of the box it has Mac OS X 10.7
I am not even able to install the latest iPhoto update as its says please update to 10.7.4
Have you tried downloading 10.7.4 directly rather than through software update.
Let me try! That's the last resort so hope it helps 😉
Good luck. There is another way round your problem if that doesn't work, but let's hope we don't have to go down that road! Let us know if you still have problems.

Now What? I am really fed up, nightmares of MS Windows follwing me 😟
To what folder and on what disk are you saving this? Is it your 'Downloads' folder on your internal hard disk or somewhere else?
This is downloads on my internal ssd of the MBA. No parititions!
OK, just needed to check that. Can you go into that Downloads folder, and click on that 'MaOSXComboUpdate...' file and tell me two things:
What is the FULL (all the way to the end) file name?
What size is it?
If you're not sure how to find out, click on the file as I said above and on the keyboard press 'command' and 'i' together. The size is at the top of the window, and the full name is about half way down, under 'Name & Extension'.
Hope this helps -
Type: Disk Image
File Name: MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.4.dmg
Size on Disk: 1,50,81,38,241 bytes (1.51 GB on disk)
Then something with your internet connection is currupting the file as it is being downloaded. Try a friends internet connection or one at a coffe shop.
Most likey as I used a Download Manager and I guess it stopped in the middle and started back.
Yeah you got it. Stop using any DL manager. If you have a normal, in todays standards, internet connection, which are fairly fast, you don't need any DL manager. Remove it from your system.
Fed Up!
