If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.


If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.


If this doesn't work then run through this list of fixes.
