Actually, i am also experiencing a scenario where the apple software update application (windows 7 home, 64-bit) is not working.specifically, using either the itunes client or the apple software update application, i am unable to update apple software.. If the apple software update feature is not automatically downloading updates on your mac, you can manually attempt to download the update, or download a stand-alone update installer from apple.. I went to the apple site thinking i might not be up to date and i decided to download 'os x lion update 10.7.2 client combo' through the site. everything went fine until 'installer' wouldn't open either (not responding) after i'd downloaded the program..
I did exactly what you said, and also deleted my previous software update caches, and rebooted my mac. nothing happened still on 10.6.8. i then went to look for a software update again, and it prompted me to restart to finish updating as always.. Apple software update is a software tool by apple that installs the latest version of apple software. it was originally introduced to mac users in mac os 9. a windows version has been available since the introduction of itunes 7.. Easy to use when it’s simple to do everything, you can do anything.. on a mac, everything is designed to work just the way you expect it to — from operating it with simple, intuitive gestures to asking siri to find a file to having your apps automatically update themselves..
