'check for updates' wizard times out

Hi;
Although I have the correct login/pw for the 'check for updates' wizard, in times out -very quickly <= 1 second.
How can I get that to work, please?
Thanks,

First; Hi. Long time no speak. I have been into Eclipse for the past, oh, > 12 months.
But now, with 9.05, I might be back on the JDev bandwagon (applause). I find it straightforward for folks that don't need or want bc4j, and its up to j2ee 1.4 spec, and it works well with many other j2ee servers.
Now, as far as this issue(automatic updates online) is concerned, although I can understand that it does not work for 9.0.3, it very likely works for 9.0.5 folks, with incremental updates, bug fixes, et al. (eg I read somewhere that it now supports the Sun Appserver 8, which is an update I'm after.)See? Eclipse spoiled me. They have extensive on-line updates management per module.
So, if anyone can confirm either of the views expressed in this thread, please do so.
Thanks;

Got an Acer netbook which has linux operating system with Firefox 3.5 installed, the check for updates is greyed out, downloaded firefox 7 but will not install, we are constantly prompted by Firefox to update as 3.5 will no longer be supported

Basically acer netbook will not allow us to update Firefox from ver 3.5 to 7, check for updates box is greyed out, thanks for your help

Hi James,
Many thanks for your reply, the machine was bought from Currys the 3.6 download warns you it will only be supported for a short time, and recommends downloading ver 7, I am unfamiliar with the workings of Linux but the machine has been good, there must be a solution, no problem if we have to pay for the upgrade. Many thanks for your help,
Cheers, Steve

BlackBerry Z10 stuck "Checking for updates" first time setup.

I have just bought the Z10 and it keeps getting stuck while checking for updates. I have rebooted it a few times, taken the battery and sim card out and then rebooted it a few times with no success. What should I do?

I have the same problem. I just ordered my phone, is new, the setup is not even completed and is stuck for hours now on "Checking for updates". I have a Z10 smatphone and I am really upset! I tried restarting it, remove battery.. nothing helped.. Please give me an idea about what to do!

SQL Developer 2.1 Disable Automatically Check for Updates bug?

Unchecking the "Automatically Check for Updates" under Preferences -> Extensions in version 1.5.5 to disables the prompting for proxy ID and password at SQL Developer startup. Unfortunately I am trying version 2.1 on Windows XP and unchecking this option under Extensions is having no affect. It is still prompting for proxy ID and password every time I start SQL Developer. This is extremely annoying.
Is this a known bug with 2.1?

I get that prompt for a Proxy as well. If I can download SQL Developer 2.1 without a Proxy then why am I prompted for one when I am checking for updates?!?
I have to uncheck the Proxy and uncheck check for Automatic Updates.
Even if I tried to use the default proxy it does not exist (I tried pinging emeacache.uk.oracle.com and it just times out and there is no DNS record either).
I have been able to finally get a few updates but still have problems with getting the JTDS and MySQL updates. I am wondering if there is a problem with Oracle's websites that are trying to be contacted to download these updates. I think Oracle's Check for Updates Wizard still has bugs that need fixing. I have had these problems not just with this new 2.1 but with previous versions as well.
I hope Oracle fixes their buggy Check for Updates Wizard or the web sites that are being contacted for the updates because this is very frustrating.

Although I am logged in as an admin, I can't check for updates or update Firefox. I'm on a Mac and would rather not delete this version and just reinstall the new version bc I don't want to lose my bookmarks. Please help - thanks.

I need to update Firefox to the latest version, but check for updates is grayed out. I am already logged in as an admin for my computer (it's a Mac), but my computer is telling me that I don't have permission to update Firefox. How can I update Firefox? I don't want to delete and reinstall because then I will lose my bookmarks.
Thanks!

'''I have also been having a problem I thought it was me or my computer'''as I am not really that good with my computer ,Also there are pages that I try to go to hat says pages busy or moved can not connect,but I can from explorer.

How can I set Firefox update preferences via script so I can configure our 200 Macs to disable checking for updates?

Most of our Mac users do not have admin privileges. So when they get alerted about Firefox updates, they don't have the ability to install them. We would like to disable Firefox for checking for updates, then push out updates from our software server as needed. We have about 200 machines to configure. Is there a way to disable checking for updates via script (bash or Applescript)? And if so, is there a guide or web site to explain the process?

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

I did an updated yesterday to the new IOS 7.0.4 on my 4s. Now my facebook app is really small when I open it. I tried to re install it a few times I also checked for updates to the app. Can't figure it out.

I did an updated yesterday to the new IOS 7.0.4 on my 4s. Now my facebook app is really small when I open it. I tried to re install it a few times I also checked for updates to the app. Can't figure it out.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
Background:
In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
Thanks.

I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

SUS - Some Clients Take a Long Time to Check for Updates

We have the newest XSERVE, running 10.6, with 12GB of RAM. We use it as our software update server and for some reason, some clients take a long time to check for updates. I'm talking anywhere from an 30 mins to an hour. I can't figure it out. Some clients are quick, some are extremely long.
Now if I tell the client to just check Apple for updates, it takes a few seconds.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks.

After another restart, firefox has begun throwing errors when starting from terminal. the error reported is:
/opt/kde/bin/skim: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is printed 5 times, then gives up and firefox loads quickly after. So this appears to be an issue with skim and libpng similar to other problems being reported.
Some research uncovered that skim is no longer supported and is part of my kdemod3 install, however until this update it was working fine under kdemod4.

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! Any suggestions?

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info??? Any suggestions?

To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
Best of luck.

I have installed itunes 10.7 several times. All goes well. After reboot, I go into itunes and check for updates and it says I need to download the update 10.7! (And so cant sync with my Iphone)

I have installed itunes 10.7 several times, all goes well. After reeboot, I go to check for updates and it still wants to update to version 10.7! I cant sync to my iphone4 because I get an error message saying I need version 10.6.3 or later. Help

Thank you for getting me started on the track by mentioning "Revo" Uninstaller. The results of "Revo" spoke volumns on why a successful install of ITunes is so difficult to achieve. It is the evil "BONJOUR".
I then tripped upon the following site by Apple and the detailed directions (I read, printed, re-read and followed the instructions. It was intense) brought a successful ITunes, Quick Time and the lovely Bonjour home. Thank you for the start JD42.

1. First step to solving the Problem: Trash MacKeeper. It's a pile of trash that does far more harm to your computer than good.

2. What version of iPhoto do you have? (iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)
