Changing where the update server looks...
I want to set up my OS X server to be where my test client looks for its updates. How do I go along and set up the client to look at a local server instead of going out to the internet for it?
I assume you want to use Mac OS X Server 10.4 to locally host updates as a Software Update Server:
Server Admin 10.4 Help: Software Update Service Overview.
There is a lot more information in the Server Admin Help. I would imagine you'd find the answer there, or in the PDF manual at http://www.apple.com/server/documentation .
You can also post questions in the Mac OS X Server forum.

Where to find the updated server for 10.3?
I searched yesterday the Apple's download site with the updated server version for 10.3, but could not find it.
Anyone have the link to this?The server version I am referring to in like the VNC server part.
When you go to System preferences and enable screen sharing it is a "server like" process running in the background.
The updated version for 10.3 enable VNC's client to connect to 10.3 host, and from what I can see, it does the same for 10.5 screen sharing capability. That is what I lost when I reinstalled my 10.3 machine: file sharing is working fine, but no screen share available... -
Could not connect to the update server (3000) & (2032)
Hi just bougt a blackberry playbook 64 gb yesterday. I tried to update it since yesterday but the message always appear on the screen is " could not connect to the update server (3000) Please help me on this problem. Should I return it to the store where I bought it? I hope somebody help me on this. Thank you & God bless
Ruby AnneWait it appears to be working. I can confirm this method works.
The next time I turned it on it appeared to apply the update, then look for a smaller update and it found it! It's booting for the first time now!!! WOOOHOOOOO : DD
Takes ages to boot. "Installation Successful".
OS 2.0.0.7971
Good luck guys
edit: Can I just add that I was forced to do a fair bit of reading online, try 2 other wifi's and even exhange the model at the reasonably priced Computer store I bought it from with not much help from the chump behind the counter just to begin using this thing. Not impressed (esp when I think of the ease in which I got my ipad up and running). -
How do I change where the downloads go. Can't find tools anymore.

Does the menu display correctly in preview?
If you look at the map of your project, the top well should be empty. If it isn't, click and drag the movie icon out of the well to clear it. Then try preview to see whether it works properly.

Could not connect to the update server. (2032)
I am trying to start up and configure my playbook, however, I can't get past connecting to wifi without getting the msg "Could not connect to the update server. (2032)"
I have a strong wifi signal and am connected but cannot update. Where do I go from here?
Solved!
Go to Solution.As a new OS came out yesterday it could simply be server is busy.however if you use the desktop manager method the PB must be completely off. If you can't do that by normal methods hold down On and - vol buttons for at least 10 sec til it goes off. Plug in, then quickly respond to the request to update. Version should not be a problem if you approach it that way.

When I click the link Firefox shows a status bar and states that it is connecting to the update server, but the status never changes and nothing seems to be happening.
Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

I am running Firefox 4.0 version, but for some reason, it tries to download updates and then gets stuck on trying to connect to the update server. This has been happening the past few days. When I close the update, I can proceed in Firefox without incident (that I know of).
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -
When I sign on to Firefox, a "Software Update" pops up and asks if I'd like to update Firefox. I click Yes/Continue and when I do, the page says "Downloading Firefox" - connecting to the update server... - but it never finishes. It continually shows the blue/white striped line.
Start at '''http://www.mozilla.com''' and download the latest
version. At the completion of the download '''don't let the setup
start Firefox for you''', when the setup ends, start Firefox in your
normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
:Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
:On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
:On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
'''Permission errors on Mac:'''
"If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
Firefox version, then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. '''Do not let the uninstall remove remove anything but Firefox itself'''; otherwise, you will lose your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.
If you can't download as mentioned above, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install as seen above
* ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ -
I keep getting a message stating that it is critical that I update my Firefox. I click on the update icon and a software update box shows up and tells me I am connecting to the update server but the connection never happens. I have left it running for hours but no connection ever occurs. Should I ignore this or do I need to go to your website and download from there? I don't want to lose my current settings.
In the Task Manager, make sure to check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab. On the Processes tab, Firefox may have two different components running: firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe. Well, in 3.5.11, it would be only the first one.

Why can't I connect to the update server? If I download manually, how do i update the phone?
Why can't I connect to the update server? If I manually download SW, how do I update phone or ipad since it is not in iTunes?
ThanksI assume all of your network connections are OK, you can get to the internet and that you aren't blocked by something like an enterprise firewall. Are those assumptions correct? . My experience has been that from time to time, the update server get's "maxxed out", and if you try later it will work.

Since shortly after installing Firefo 5 I get this message every time I start Firefox. A dialog box comes up that says Installing Firefox, followed by a spinning progress bar, followed by "connecting to the update server." It never progresses past this point and will stay this way indefinitely until I close the Window.
Also since installing Firefox 5, the program crashes at least once or twice a day and I have to quit and restart. Don't know if there's any relationship between the two issues.If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

My computer's current version of Firefox is 3.6.13; clicked on Software Update and received an "strong suggestion" to download the newest version 3.6.16. Clicked to update and now "Downloading Update" has been showing "Connecting to the update server..." for 10+ minutes.

i have ios 4.3.3 version and when i try to update my iphone to the latest version it with itunes it can't reach the update server. what should i do?
p.s.: i don't have any cinnection problem.....It could be the fact that your hosts file is directing itself to gs.apple.com Cydia not gs.apple.com Apple,
Hope it helps

Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

Changing where the sent messages are stored
Hi, I was wondering is there any way you can change where the sent messages are stored. I have switched from a few programs.. and there is a 'sent' folder and ' sent messages' folder on my folder list in addition to that of what mail is putting them in. I just want one folder.
Sounds like you are accessing an IMAP type account.
If so, is this the only email account and account type you are accessing with the Mail.app? -
Daily I receive a message for updating my Firefox (3.6.17 MacOs 10.6.8) but when I agree, it takes quite a long time and then OR a message: no contact with the update-server OR something like: Sorry we cannot find xxxxx(?!).
