What do I do if I am having problems installing Security Update 2012-004?

All,


Howdy. My Software Update fails every time I attempt to install the Security Update 2012-004. I can use the Software Update for other installations. I downloaded the Security Update 2012-004.dmg from the Apple Support site. However, that installation failed as well. Any pointers or tips that I could try?


Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3


Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Make sure in Safari preferences>security that java is turned off. java script is ok as well as plug ins. If you still have problems,make an appointment at the Genius bar, go to an Apple store, and ask nicely if they would do the download for you. They are usually col guys who will do this for you, a well as tell you why it would not not work for you. I am VERY sorry I was no help to you, as this has NEVER been a problem with any of my machines before. My sincere apologizes. SJP
