Addon updates won't install or uninstall with restart in 3.6.8

I updated Firefox to 3.6.8 and now it won't install or uninstall addons after a browser restart the way it should. It isn't just updated addons, I can't uninstall any either.

Software Updates won't install when the macbook restarts

When I run the Software Update, it tells me the macbook must restart to install the updates, but it gets to the 'configuring installation' bit and then freezes. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Elizabeth,
When your mac was downloading the updates (via software update) the package was corrupted. You need to download the specific package manually from:
www.apple.com/support/downloads/
If you post the specific update I will be able to point you to a download link (if you can't find it yourself).
If that fails then it's most likely a faulty Hard Drive, and you will need to take it into a repair centre for further testing.

Illustrator update won't install, even after uninstalling and retrying multiple times.

Illustrator update won't install, even after uninstalling (using the "Uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS6" app and retrying (using Adobe Application Manager}multiple times. Now I can't open AI CS6 at all.
The error message I get in Application Manager is:
"Application could not be found. Restore in case it was trashed/moved to a different volume. Reinstall the application otherwise (U44M1P2B)"
Help!

Can you please try installing the Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774.
If that doesn't work then the safest course would be to remove all Adobe Creative Software using the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. This should then remove the Adobe Application Manager folder also inside Utilities. Once the software is completely uninstalled and the Adobe Application Manager is removed then you should be able to reinstall from https://creative.adobe.com/.

Windows updates won't install

Hello,
I have a remote user whose Windows updates won't install. He has a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. You can bring up the update windows and start the install but, at exactly 10 seconds, it just says "Updates failed" and doesn't really give
any more information.
I saw the Windows update service was stopped, I started it and that didn't seem to help. I also tried the update troubleshooter and that didn't do anything. I checked for malware and didn't find any, and he has plenty of disk space. I didn't see
anything in Even Viewer or Reliability Monitor either.
What could it be?
Thanks.
Chris Hansen

Hi Chris,
Firstly, please check if those Windows Update have already installed:
1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type
Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
2.In the left pane, click View update history.
3. Click Installed Updates at the top of the page, there check if any Windows Update installed recently.
If there is no any Windows Update installed, try to
reset the Windows Update component to check if it could resolve the issue.

Windows Updates won't install - Error 0x80072EFD

Question
Windows Updates won’t install. I’m receiving Error 0x80072EFD. What can I do to solve this?
Answer
This particular error means that your computer was not able to connect to the Internet when it tried to install updates. First, check your Internet connection and then try again. If that doesn’t work, try the methods below.
Method A: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on, and temporarily disable third-party firewalls
Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
To complete this method, follow these steps.
Step 1: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on
To open Windows Firewall, click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Click On (recommended), and then click OK.
Step 2: Temporarily disable third-party firewalls
Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
Under Firewall, read the firewall status note. This information will indicate which, if any, firewall is installed and whether the firewall is turned on. For example, for ZoneAlarm, the notice will say ZoneAlarm Firewall is currently ON.
Open the third-party firewall application that is listed in the firewall status note, and temporarily disable the firewall. If necessary, refer to the firewall application documentation, or contact the application vendor for more information about how to temporarily disable the application.
Step 3: Try to install the updates again
If this method resolved your issue, follow the steps in Method B, step 2 to re-enable your third-party firewall. You might want to also check for and install any necessary updates to your third-party firewall.
If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method B.
Method B: Temporarily disable third-party antivirus software
Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
Step 1: Locate and temporarily disable your third-party antivirus software
Note Windows does not detect all antivirus software, and some antivirus software doesn't report its status to Windows. If your antivirus software is not displayed in Windows Security Center, and you're not sure how to find it, try any of the following:
Look for the antivirus software in the list of programs on the Start menu.
Type the name of the software or the publisher in the Search box on the Start menu.
Look for the software in Action Center:
Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it will be listed under Virus protection.
If the software is turned on, check the Help documentation that was included with the software for information about how to disable it.
Note You may have to look in the application documentation to determine how to do this.
Step 2: Check for Windows Updates
As soon as the antivirus software is temporarily disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
If this method resolved your issue, and you were able to install the updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party antivirus software.
If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method C.
Method C: Disable software accelerator programs
Disable any software accelerator programs that may be running. Some examples of these programs are file download accelerators and Internet speed accelerators.
Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method B, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
Step 1: Disable software accelerator programs
To do this, select from the following options:
See the documentation that was included with the program.
View the Help files for your program.
Contact the program vendor. For information about how to contact the program vendor, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors
Step 2: Install Updates
As soon as the software accelerator program is disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
If this method resolved your issue, you should enable the software accelerator programs that you disabled in Step 1.
If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method E.
Method D: Add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list
Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
To add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list, follow these steps:
Start Windows Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Note If you are using Internet Explorer 7, and the menu is not available, press the ALT key on your keyboard to access the Internet Explorer Menu.
Click the Security tab, and then click Trusted Sites.
Click Sites, and then click to clear the Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone check box.
In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the following addresses, and then click Add after you type each address:
http://update.microsoft.com
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Click OK two times.
Try to install the updates again.
If this method resolved your issue and you were able to install updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party firewall if it is still disabled. To do this, see step 2 in Method A.
For more methods and advanced troubleshooting techniques, see You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates.

Mark, I've just been through this update issue with two installations. In my case, it seemed intertwined with authentification and indexing not working, either. Upon a transfer of my system disk to new hardware I got hit with the issue and couldn't fix it. Which is why I did a clean install of Win7 ultimate 64bit on my T61p. The install (including update) worked great until I ran the intel matrix storage manager update. This broke windows update. If you surf the web, and include "intel rapid storage manager" or "intel matrix storage manager" and "Windows update fails", you'll see that a lot of folks feel that the intel driver (or how windows handles it) is what breaks update. I tracked this down to a driver, iastor.sys, in windows\system32\drivers. I was able to fix my Window Update by copying an iastor.sys from another recently built machine (should be exactly the same, but this was my wife's T510, but still Win 7 Pro 64) to overwrite the iastor.sys that the intel update changed. To be clear: I couldn't get windows update or indexing to work. I overwrote* the "bad" iastor.sys with one that worked on another computer. Rebooted. Update worked. I just wanted to point out that instead of blindly installing updates to fix problems, folks should be aware that sometimes the update is the problem. Especially as these systems are off warranty and the drivers are not being updated. I've asked elsewhere, so let me ask here: Where is the System Interface Driver for t61p? Not listed anywhere on site, links on the web referring to it are all broken. Is the System Interface Driver now part of another driver program? Thanks!

10.4 update won't install

I'm having the same problem with Windows 7 and cannot download direct from the website.

Updates won't install,billing info wrong

Updates won't install,keeps saying problem with billing info,then there was a problem with a previous payment,but I can't find out what is was.

You'll have to update your billing info from itunes, here's a guide on how to do it on iOS http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918?viewlocale=nl_nl . It may be that there weren't suffecent funds at the time of the last purchase, in which case you'll just have to varify the three digit security code. Hope it helps!

Mac book pro won't install or uninstall programs

I have a mac book pro, running OSX 10.7.5. When I try to instill Java, or any program for that matter, it takes me to the download screen, asks me for my password and then does nothing. Will not install. I tried to uninstall a program as well and the same thing happens. Won't install or uninstall. Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Jam Pack 4 update won't install

I've resinstalled *Jam Pack 4* 1.0 and went to Apple's site and downloaded the 1.0.1 update to correct some sound quality issues. However, the update won't install. I keep getting the message, "There is nothing to install," when I get to that step in the installation process. I see in an archived area others have had this problem as well with this Jam Pack 4 update. Why won't the update install?
Any help out there for this?

IPhoto 9.1 update won't install

I just bought a new MacBook Pro. It came with iPhoto 11. The iPhoto 9.1 update won't install. It keeps saying that I need iPhoto 9.0 or greater, but I have iPhoto 11. I have not moved iPhoto from its default location. My computer is only 2 days old. I've seen others with this problem, but no real solution. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your response TD, but this App, iPhoto 11 came already installed on my computer. I registered my computer, but you can't register a product without a serial number. I don't have the iPhoto 11 serial number because it came installed on my computer already. I tried re-installing iPhoto 9.1 after registering my computer and got the same error message. However, I did find out that I hae 90 days of complimentary phone support. So I will be giving Apple a call.

Software updates won't install with multiple accounts

I'm using an iMac with multiple accounts. When I go to update software, the box comes up and lists the updates. Great. When I click install, it says it must restart in order to install the updates. Fine. But after it restarts it goes to the login page, and once I login, it seems to forget that it's in the midst of an install. I've tried this many times, from many other accounts.
How can I get it to follow through with the updates without getting stuck at the login page?
Thanks

Are the apps installed in the main Applications folder or in each User's Applications folder? Apps installed in the root folder will be available for each user.

Updated and now the ipod communication software won't install or uninstall

After updating to the newest itunes (biggest mistake ever) the ipod communication files cannot be installed or uninstalled. I keep getting the same error message despite countless attempts to fix the install, uninstall and reinstall, install manually...
itunes does not recognize my ipods when they are plugged in, and I've now gone over a week without being able to sync them...completely worthless!

Not sure what exactly you did; your description is a bit confusing. What I suggest you do (assuming you want the English version for Windows)
*Download the installer from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe (or from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe if you don't want Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com)
*Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
*Run the utility and remove any Adobe Reader references
*Run the Adobe Reader installer

Offline updates won't install any updates with none in the name (outlfltr-x-none.cab, word-x-none.cab, outlook-x-none.cab )

First, I'm running SCCM 2007 sp2 R3 integrated with MDT 2012 update 1 build 6.1.2373.0
I've added the MDT task sequence step: install offline updates, in my OSD W7 task sequence.
The ZTIPatches.log shows it runs without errors. But only some of the updates get installed.
It expands all my updates:
About to run command: expand "\\servername\lsdp$\SMSPKG\CO10021D\95508244-d070-43f4-b304-3efbd62090cd\word-x-none.cab" -F:update.mum "C:\_SMSTaskSequence\ZTIPatches.tmp" ZTIPatches 5/1/2014
2:37:36 PM 0 (0x0000)
Return code from command = 0
But only the updates with a kb number like: windows6.1-kb2936068-x86.cab get the next line:
Create Package Item : Package_for_KB2936068
They also get a, copying package line, a copy file line and a package added line. The others don't.
I've read that the offline updates will only install updates with file content .cab?
So I've removed all the exe updates.
Is this normal for MDT offline updates?

Offline updates will only inject Windows CBS-based updates into an image. This does not include Office updates.
