    Several users are reporting a server problem with Software Update. Why not wait and try again later today or tomorrow to see if the problem is resolved.

    See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.

     

    Delete the following files:

     

      1. /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
      2. /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
      3. /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist where "xxx" is a number.
      4. /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ (delete entire folder)
