  • Safari won't open URLs and Software Update does not cnnect

    OK. I'm back in the hope that I can get some help from this forum or I can get steered to the appropriate forum.
    This morning I went to the local library and connected to the internet directly using airport to their WAN. So I now know my problem is independent of the weird dial up arrangement I have at home.
    Safari still does not open the sites. It gives a message "Cannot open page "x" because it cannot connect to server "X""
    When I open Firefox all my sites are working normally. (I also downloaded and installed Firefox 3 this morning)
    I have reset Safari but that does not help.
    I have even downloaded the latest greatest version of safari (the beta 4) but it exhibits the same problems
    When I invoke Software Update it claims I am not connected to the internet. Does this depend on Safari? Is there a preference i can change to make it work through Firefox
    When I invoke internet connect diagnostics it says my internet connection is working normally.

    Thank you. Problem solved.
    Both safari and S/w Update now working again.
    I have no idea how the proxy got set. (I don't remember doing it!!!)
    Thanks again, Steve

  • How i can install software update for iphone 3g

    hi. im downloaded a IOS 4.2.1 for my 3g i phone how i can install it now!
    il try open it> itunes comes up and do nothing...

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The normal method of upgrading the iPhone is to connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable, open iTunes app on the computer, highlight the phone in the devices list and click the button to Update the phone. iTunes then downloads and installs the new iOS. Is this what you are doing?

  • HT4972 I have an iphone 4s and it's telling me that there is a software update available to iOS 6.  When I got to "settings" on my phone, the "download and install" tab is not highlited and I can't click on it to get the update.

    I have an iphone 4s.  I have an alert that there is a software update available to iOS 6.  When I got to the settings tab, the "download and install" button is not highlited and I can't click on it.  Below that, it says that this update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download.  So I connected my phone to my computer and tried to update throug itunes.  When I clicked the update tab on itunes on my laptop, an alert pops up that says I need to be connected to the internet for th update to take place.  I am confused because I am connected to the internet, but for some reason the connection is not being recognized when I try to update.
    I am using a Gateway laptop and my internet connection is a verizon 4g device that I plug into a USB port.  I feel like this should be so simple but have not been able to figure it out even when I called Apple and spoke to a rep...help!

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

  • How can I tell how many emails I have on my iphone now that I have installed the update?

    How can I tell how many emails I have on my iphone now that I have installed the update?

    Your current camera roll is stored in iCloud via the backup, and the photos in Photo stream are also stored in iCloud for about 4 weeks.
    However, once you delete them on your iPad, they will disappear from your backup the next time it runs.
    The best way to sort your issue out is to:
    1) Connect a Windows or OS X computer to Photo Stream.  This will get your current photos onto your computer.
    and/or
    2) Connect your iPad to a Windows or OS X computer through the USB cable, and sync the photos across before deleting them from your iPad. This will get photos and videos.

  • HT1212 How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and can not be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted.

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

  • HT1338 Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 on iMac mid-2007 that downloaded automatically on iMac mid-2011

    Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update on my iMac mid-2007, but it downloaded it automatically on my iMac mid-2011 yesterday. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to download the update manually from Apple on my older iMac, it downloads okay, but when I try to open the dmg file, I get a warning message saying that opening this update may make your computer LESS secure. Do you want to proceed? (I did not).
    Why would Software Update find this update and install it automatically on one iMac and not the other, if they are both running the same version of Mac OS X Lion? I checked the installed software list on my old iMac and the Java update does not appear there. Why would this update make my old iMac less secure?

    Recall that Java is not installed as part of Lion.
    You have to install it (and are asked if you want to) when you first try to run some java stuff.
    Is it possible that the iMac 2007 does not have Java yet?
    Try this: open Terminal (from Utilities) and type java -version (exactly like that, with the space before the hyphen).
    What do you get?
    Consistent with this theory is that the dmg thing gave you the warning - installing java might make your machine less secure because java is a means for bad guys to try to do bad things to your computer.

  • Widgets, Safari, Software Update -- All not working since I got Comcast

    My Dashboard, Safari and Software Update have not worked since I got Comcast internet. I'm pretty sure their installer screwed up something, but I don't know how to undo it. Firefox, Adium, Mail and other internet applications all work great.
    I tried to fix the Software Updater problem a while ago and was able to get it to see what is available (by adding swquery.apple.com to the sites that bypass proxy settings), but it still refuses to download anything.
    I can't help but think there's one thing that's causing all this trouble. Any thoughts?

    You can have up to 5 computers authorized at one time with iTunes. There's no reason to deauthorize until you want to go over the limit. You can do this once a year. Do a clean install of the OS on the mac you are selling.

  • Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

    Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

  • I have an iPad 1 that is currently showing software updated at version 5.1.1.  Is it possible to update to iOS version 7 on this device?  My goal is to get Garage Band on this device and the app store is telling me I need iOS version 7.

    I have an iPad 1 that is currently showing software updated at version 5.1.1.  Is it possible to update to iOS version 7 on this device?  My goal is to get Garage Band on this device and the app store is telling me I need iOS version 7.

    Hi,
    If you really need to upgrade you can save a bit of money and get an older version than the ipad Air.
    First, you can sell your ipad 1 to places like gazelle.com, cashforyourmac.com, sellyour mac.com, or many others out there. The sites I listed give you cash. At this point gazelle.com is giving $70.00 for any ipad 1 in 'good' condition. And cashforyourmac will give you $25.00 over what gazelle.com or sellyourmac.com offers you. Shipping is free.
    Then, with that money, go the the Apple online certified refurbished store. As an example, a new 64gb Air costs $699.00. A refurbed 4th gen 64gb costs $529.00 and a 3rd gen 64gb costs $499.00. Personally, I'd skip the 3rd gen. So if you buy a 4th gen 64gb at $529.00 minus what you can get from a sale to above, you can get an ipad 4 64gb for just over $430.00, a savings of savings of about $270.00. (A new 32gb Air is $599.00, a 4th gen 32gb is $449.00, and a 3rd gen 32gb is not on the site right now.) Google it and check if you can get better offers anywhere else. But getting one from the Apple refurb store gives you an essentially new ipad and using the above sites, you're not locked in with a particular site which will give you a gift card and restrict you to their store/site.
    Each Apple refurbished ipad (any version) comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, same return policy, and a full one year warranty with 90 days of phone support. Each comes in a white box like a new ipad with the wall charger and usb cable. The only difference is that it says in small print on the bottom of the box that it is Apple certified refurbished. Also, if you buy refurbs, be sure to check the store many times a day. They can come and go quickly, so when you see what you want, buy it right away. Shipping is free and pretty fast. (We bought two a year and a half ago and they have been great!)
    Hope this helps.
