[QUOTE="terryjray, post: 1348389, member: 231294"] [b]another suggestion[/b] Ran into this issue after upgrading my macbook from leopard to snow leopard. All of a sudden updates wouldn't run because it couldn't find update.local. To fix it, I had to delete com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist from both my local user directory: ~/Library/Preferences and also the system directory: /Library/Preferences I also deleted a similar file from ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost and also deleted ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist Not sure if those last two were required to fix the problem but I mention because after deleting those 4 files and restarting, SoftwareUpdate began working again. Hope that helps someone. [/QUOTE]
