Thanks for all your help, it seems there was a corrupt file in his Mac and he took it to a Mac centre. I have taken the liberty of copying his email to me.
Well Well Well,
Fixed, very interesting Spent Two whole hours talking with the Governor! Who downloaded wirelessly 780 Mbs in two minutes of 10.57
Then continued to down load further updates, and there are heaps, the trouble was finding the corrupted file which he did bygoing straight to apple and asking where to look. Problem pin pointed and irradicated home and hosed at a total cost of $35 plus getting there of course.
Again thanks for all your help. Its a pity there are not more Mac users on The V Dr
