When I click update software from System Preferences, Software Update begins to open and then quits and System Preferences says an unexpected error has occured.

Try trashing teh software update prefs and caches?

Safari hosed you

Goto Apple Discussions and look on the Safari forums..

Here is the fix (worked for me anyway) from a member named Tooky
__________________________
Go into terminal and type:

ln -s /private/tmp /tmp

Include spaces.

Then log out an log in again. Make sure your Admin.

Problems should be solved.

The first letter is a lower case L like Ellen.

Thanks people, I read that thread too. I did the fix and it worked. But what are the long term affects of having made this link?

The Terminal solutions didn't work for me. I can't open Mozilla (my primary browser), IE, Excel and other apps.

What can I do now?

Thanks!

Your problem sounds completely unrelated to ours. Sorry, I hope you find a solution. Remember whenever you have a problem that you can't solve, the best solution is to always ahave a backup of your data and to call Apple tech support.

Thanks, Davecom. I opened four tabs and posted the message in an erroneous topic. My problem is related to Safari.

However, I'm out of the U.S. (Colombia) and can't call to Apple.

There are ofcourse Apple support numbers for South American customers. Go to your local Apple website.
