Q: Why can't I get the Mac OS X v10.6.4 update to download?

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Yes, I know I am very behind the times . . .

 

The download starts, but quits after a few seconds and I get a "not recognized" message when I try to open it.

 

Thanks.

    Are you doing a Software Update or downloading directly from Apple?

     

    If Software Update, instead download the combo 10.6.8 update from here. Use Disk Utility (on your hard drive in application/utilities)  to repair permissions, then apply the combo update, and when done, repair permissions again. You'll be at 10.6.8 at that point.

    Thank you for responding.

     

    I repaired my permissions and when I tried to download the update you linked to, it failed twice with a "mounting failed" message. When I double click the message, it says I can't open the file because it is still being downloaded (but it is not).

     

    I greatly appreciate your help!
