I have been attempting to update my OSX software on my Mac. Initially I did it through my menus using the software update option. This resulted in me getting an error message reading "A networking error has occurred: Error NSURL Error Domain - 1005 (-1005)". I then went to the apple site and manually attempted to download the update to Mac OSX 10.4.11, then Mac OSX 10.4.10 and finally Mac OSX 10.4.9. Each time I get an error stating that "Mounting failed". I don't know what step to take next. I have a new iPod touch and need the updated software to run the newest version of iTunes so that I can sync my iPod to my computer and transfer files. Thank you for your help!

Looks like you are moving backwards!
10.4.11 is the latest (and last) system update for 10.4 (10.4.9 is not the latest)
Here's the correct file to download (assuming that you have a PPC processor, and not an intel processor): http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170
If you do have an intel Mac, then this one is correct: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL172

I see that you said on another thread that you are limited to dialup. The large OS X updates can be tough to download on dialup.
Do you know anyone with a high-speed connection? You can download the file, even to Windows, then copy to an external hard drive, or USB flash drive, or burn to a CD. Then you would have a good copy to install on your Mac.
