Trying to system software but get following error message "The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.)(-1012)

Would like to update my system software but I get this message everytime:


The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.)(-1012)


Any ideas on what this is?

LOTS of people are receiving this error (including myself). It probably has nothing to do with your computer at all but the fact that Apple's servers probably weren't prepared for the massive numbers of attemped updates. DNS fixes have been posted, but these don't work for me. Unfortunately, probably the best solution is either to wait or, if you're looking for the update to iTunes, go to: http://support.apple.com/downloads/ where you can find the latest software. After downloading the latest version of iTunes, mine was listed as being the latest version.

This is not related to their servers but to a bug on 10.8.1. I spent one hour with apple support. we tried everything:


1) repair disk permissions

2) boot in safe mode

3) clear up iTunes, Safari and apply sync cache, and repair disk permissions again


nothing worked. Then we went for the easy fix which is to reinstall Mountain Lion.

Turn off iMac

turn it on while pressing COMMAND-R

select from the options to "reinstall OS"


problem is fixed


cheers,
