I can't install Mac Os X Update combined 10.6.8

I can download Mac Os X Update combined 10.6.8, but when I restart to install the update, the message, "The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading.The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs" comes up. I'm using a MacBook btw. Please help me solve this, thank you!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6)

Thanks for the welcome mende 🙂 I tried opening the download but it said invalid checksum. But, when I skipped the verification it takes me to the installer. Then when it's installing it stops and says, "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Will do. But, I noticed something. It says the file size is 1.09 GB, but when I download it, it shows a total of 1.01 GB. Is it supposed to be like that?

I just downloaded the update on a PC I'm using at the moment and the size is 1,087,020,133 bytes. You can use "Get Info" to see the actual size of the file on your Mac. If it is the same size then it probably means that there is a problem with the update being applied to your Mac. If it isn't the same size, that doesn't necessarily mean you have a bad download. If it isn't the same size, try using Chrome, Firefox, and/or Opera to download the update.


BTW, Austin Kinsella might be really asking if you have enough free space for such a large download. And even if you do for the file, the update process will require some more while it is running and for the resulting, hopefully, 10.6.8 on your Mac.


Good luck.
