Problem with software update - pqrst - 06-22-2011
Welcome to Summer!!
I am having a problem with Software Update. When I click on it, an error box says "Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem."
I've run the Snow Leopard network diagnostics and it says there is no problem. And I'm having no problems with any other access to the net, including itunes. Any ideas? It was working fine a couple of days ago, but not now.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hate to even say it, but did you try a restart?

you might also try re-applying a 10.6.x combo update (i.e. whatever version you're currently on, or just grab the newest one).

Try a Safe boot. If that doesn't work, then apply the Combo update.

are you running little snitch or any kind of firewall?

Restart your network boxes.

Thanks everyone. Little snitch was on. But only for software update, i don't remember setting it.
