12 Error message during JAVA update 7 OS 10.5.8 Software
This may not be something this forum can answer but I am getting the following error when attempting to update JAVA on my MacBook (others computers working fine) .
Error:
Installer could not create the folder "/private/tmp/JAVAForMacOSX10.5Update7.pkg.3151331d7UI"
Also, I tried to update Excel and got this error:
Installer could not create the folder "/private/tmp/OpenXML_all_fonts.pkg.30490Lf9KAV"
BTW, I recently had to recover this laptop using time machine after installing Norton Internet Securities which then locked out my ability to use Safari.
I couldn't uninstall it so I simply wiped the HD and used a recent time machine backup just prior to installing Norton.
Any clues as to what is happening?
Do I simply need to re-install OSX 10.5 from the disk and then go thru the updates?
Or
Make a time machine back up, wipe the HD and then re-install the OS from the disk, then drag over my user files?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Repair of permissions did the trick. Thank you Gabe. Never had to try rj713 recommendation.
