Checking For OS Updates ... My New Hobby

Maybe it's just me, but since getting the Z10 and dealing with countless issues including a replacement Z10, my new hobby it seems it to check for an OS update at least twice a day.
Never have I done this on any other OS ( Android or iOS) ... but I was never this frustrated with a new device either.
Anyone else participating in this new past time hobby?

Hi
same here.
So many annoying litle bits.
- No indication on the screen if the sound is off
- VPN L2TP or PPTP are not supported, It was so easy to set up on my Iphone 5, Mac and Ipad, as well as Windows 8
who wants to pay $20 a months for an VPN vendor that support the Blackberry?
- Blackberry link on the Mac is a piece of Sh..., it does not sync, back-up, or connect to Iphotos, it connects to Itunes but wont copy files over
Ical (calendar) from Icloud does not work, sync, had to use Outlook.
- Cannot get the sound back unless you restart the Z10
- and on and on....
Sorry for the rant, just spent two very frudtrating days

Getting an error message that unable to check for software update when trying to download new iOS 8.0.2 update ?? Can someone help ???

Getting an error message of unable to

ios 8.0.2. Can someone help ??

Howdy there otss1979,
It sounds like you are unable to download the iOS 8.0.2 update either, over the air, or using iTunes. If you are updating the software on your phone in Settings > General > software update I would recommend starting with this article:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
If you are using iTunes, I would use this article instead:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
If you are getting a specific error number, the following article will help you get that resolved:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
If this does not resolve the issue, could you please write the error message you are getting word for word for me?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

Officejet Pro 6830 all in one - screen stuck on "checking for printer updates"

Windows 7 X64 install
I ran through the entire installation process and while the printer will print and will scan - the printer is hung on the message "checking for printer updates" with a red x below that message. I let it set all night and no change. The printer is setup as a wired network connection and can be seen with any of the tools. I have not errors on my system. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled twice without success. I tried running a firmware update, but the firmware update states that I have the latest firmware rev. I even unplugged the printer and plugged it directly into the wall - n o change. Evertime I startup the printer screen, just hangs on that screen.
Please help.

I have the exact same problem with my new HP Officejet Pro 6830 printer. Please could you provide a solution else I guess it will have to go back to the shop as I only picked it up this afternoon.
Setup went ok and it even managed to print a couple of pages. But next time it started up (with wired ethernet connection) this problem occurred and happens every time ever since. (It is possible to use the printer for printing and scanning via PC, but the whole time its display is showing the "checking for printer updates" message.)
This even happens if the ethernet cable is not connected on startup (meaning the printer cannot be used as a standalone printer / copier either at the moment).
If I press the red cross (which I guess cancels the update searching) then I get a blue screen saying "B871634E" for a second or so, afterwhich I get a black screen with the message "There is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer Off, then On." and cannot do anything else. (The problem is the same after doing a printer off then on - even when following the "hard reset" procedure already mentioned.)
On checking the firmware version via the PC utility (while the printer sits there "checking for printer updates"), the PC utility app reported that the firmware was the latest version.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
Have you tried reinstalling 1Password? Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it. (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.) You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
As with anything else, be sure to run a backup first!

Check for source updates

Hi,
I mantain a couple of PKGBUILDs and I was wandering if there is a (simple) way to automatically check for upstream updates.
P.S.: Happy new year. ^^

I've been using websec for years - it emails you the page if it changed, and *highlights* the changes.
Here are the 2 programs - websec and webdiff, tweaked to remove the useless progress messages, so websec can be conveniently run by cron.

Checking for printer updates

my new computer worked beautifully immediately after installing last evening. I cut the printer off for the night, and when I turned it on this morning, I get a circular message, checking for printer updates. It will not print, and I cannot access home on the computer. Help from HP is not forthcoming, with no email addresses or telephone numbers for support.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I cannot check for you -- you neglected to include your exact Printer model and your Operating System. Smiling.
If you are having trouble with the HP Drivers & Downloads Page, then you might try Google and use of their cached pages to get to your printer's support pages.
Search for your printer model with the word "support" after the model name. Assuming Google finds and displays the results, Select and Open the cached page.
You can contact HP Directly:
Contact HP – USA - Phone Assistance

HP tech support/ Customer Service Phone Numbers – Some English Speaking Countries
Including UK and Europe
If you call HP, please do report the problem with the Support pages -- they may say they can reach the pages. This is understandable as the Center is using a different location to access the information. The problem may or may not be visible from within the Response Center.

My iPhone is not receiving mail but these messages continue to flash at the bottom of the screen: Checking for messages, Updated just now, checking for messages, etc. After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received

My iPhone is not receiving mail but the following messages continue to flash over and over at the bottom of the screen: "Checking for messages, Updated just now, Checking for messages", etc. After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received and then the "Checking for Messages," etc. starts back again. I turned the phone off for 30+ minutes and also tried to reset it, but the problem continues. Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

I just bought more Ram how do I check for bios updates before I install it?

I purchased 2 4GBs 200 PIN DDR2 of memory from Crucial to upgrade my Pavillion notebook dv4t 1400 from 4 to 8 gbs
Series (DDR2) ( p/n NS244AV)
I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64bit service pack 1
The directions say I need to check for bios updates with the maufacturer to see if I need to flash the bios before I install the new memory. How do I do that?
thank you for your help
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please see "Updating the BIOS" to determine the current BIOS version installed and how to update the BIOS if needed. Please see the HP Pavilion dv4t-1400 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers & Downloads page for the most current BIOS version available for your computer. Click HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) version: F.66 A for a direct link to the BIOS download page.

Software can't check for an update because of a network problem

Since I updated to Lion I keep getting this http://grab.by/cKz4 [Software can't check for an update because of a network problem window] everytime I click on Software update in finder. Also I get the same window when I try to open the App Store app.... my internet connection works fine and I previously updated with the direct stand alone downloads from the Apple site.
I downloaded the new 10.7.2 like this as well as the iphoto update.
Any ideas why this is happening?

just did a bit of a search and discovered that it was Little Snitch that was the problem.... you have to update to the latest version [or switch it off for software before using software update]

The software is not updateing on my iphone 4 just say checking for software update what should i do?

the software is not updateing on my iphone 4 it saying checking for software update what should i do?

The battery drain issue started when I updated my iphone 4 to the IOS 6.1.2.
The battery will go from 100% to 0% in about 3 hours !!!
I called Apple support and they told me that they are not aware of an issue affecting the battery with the latest update. They did a diagnostic test on my iphone and found that my battery is healthy. Then then recommended that I backup my iphone, restore the factory settings and recover after that. In other words, delete everything off my iphone and reinstall everything all over again. I waisted a couple of hours doing that and .....I still have the issue of the battery drain.
I finally discovered the problem, and thus the solution!
To solve this issue, do the following:
Settings ---> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --->Fetch New Data ---> Advanced
Now click on your hotmail account or your company email account (anything in that folder other than yahoo, gmail or aol),
Change the setting from Push to Fetch !!!
And Viola ! Problem will be solved !
The problem seems to be that the mail exchange (i.e. microsoft, hotmail...etc) keeps checking and pushing emails from the exchange server every second (continiousely) and this is causing the battery to drain.When you change the setting to Fetch, then emails will start downloading every 15 min; but at least your battery will hold charge as it is supposed to do, until Apple comes up with 6.1.3 that hopefully will fix this issue.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you folks hence it sure did work for me this morning and it sure feels great.
Cheers !

Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

IPad and iTunes cannot check for iOS updates. And iTunes cannot restore the iPad to 6.1.2.

Hi.
I have iPad 4G 32GB A1460. NO JAILBREAK EVER. Recently I installed iOS 7 Beta 3 on it. And now when I go to Settings -> General -> Software Update I get the error message "Unable to Check for Update. An error occurred while checking for a software update." And that's all. No useful information actually.
I have tried to reboot the device but no luck. I have also tried to connect it to a PC and check for updates from iTunes. iTunes shows me a little different error message: "iTunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iPad. An unknown error occurred (1651). Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." I checked the connection just in case and was convinced that the Internet connection is active. Does anyone know what's happening? I really don't like this.
OK, maybe the next iOS version isn't out yet. But what will happen if it is? Will I be forced to use 7.0 Beta 3 forever? I don't want to))
Another thing that I've tried to do is to restore my iPad to iOS 6.1.2. But the iTunes shows another error: "The iPad "<iPad name>" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194)." I tried this on Windows and Mac. On Mac I have a different message: "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" which seems to be the same thing as 3194-error on Windows.
Can anyone help me? Is there a reasonable explanation of this? Is this related to Apple's developers web site unavailability (http://devimages.apple.com/maintenance/)?
Thanks in advance!

If you have iOS 7.1 then you must be a developer, so you should be posting in the developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa
