Cant update Software

Hi

I recently restored my macbook with the disks supplied (had it about 4 years and just wanted to start from fresh), i tried to update the software using check for updates. The status bar gets about a quarter of the way across and just stays there, ive left it over night just to make it wasnt just a lengthy update but still sits on one quarter of the way across

I now cant use the machine with itunes as needs newer version of the MAC OS

Any help is really appreciated

Thanks

What spec is your Macbook, and what version OS are you running?

my macbook pro did the same thing. i tried it again and it worked. sometimes the server gets hung up i think

Its Leopard O S X not sure what version, one from 4 years ago im guessing now ive wiped it (thats when I bought it) its one of the little white mac books

Tried again last night, it just seems to hang on "configuring installation"

Cheers

Go to the Apple web site and download the OS X.5.8 Combo Updater. It is 759MB and here is the link. After installing run Repair Permissions:-


Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update

Thanks Harry

I will try this tonight and see how I get on
