Hi Muggers,


Problem:
I cannot connect to Software Update, the error message returns:
'A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you
can connect to the Internet and try again.'

Hi Michael,

Trash the Software Update Preference file :
  /users/name/library/preferences/com.apple.softwareupdate.plist

Then restart and you should be ok.

Cheers,
Roni

Roni,

Sorry forgot to add that i have already tried that..
I even installed onyx to completely clean the system to no avail..
Never mind looks like i will have to wait for a combo update (10.4.8) to resolve the issue (or a complete reinstall)

Thanks to those that replied

Michael
