Go to Wifi Settings and then select your Wifi Network. Tap the blue arrow to go into Wifi settings and then select the DNS tab.
Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then go back to the software update page.
This time it shall work.
I tried it on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 but I am sure this shall help.
Do rate me and reply if it works.

HT201210 how do I correct - Unable to Check for Update an error occured while checking for a software update.

error message: Unable to check updates. an error accured while checking for a software update.

It is all in your WIFI.
I have 2 internal Wifi networks at home. In one (family) the software update works immediately, in the other one (guess) it gives me the same error "Unable to Check for Udpate" ... The guess network I did set up carries some restrictions being the reason why the update does not work.

Option for error handling for DTP, ' no updata, no reporting" and "deactiva

Hello Gurus,
     option for error handling for DTP, ' no updata, no reporting" and "deactivated" , please give some explanation and instance for them?
Many Thanks,

On the Update tab page, specify how you want the system to respond to data records with errors:
                            a.      No update, no reporting (default)
If errors occur, the system terminates the update of the entire data package. The request is not released for reporting. However, the system continues to check the records.
                            b.      Update valid records, no reporting (request red)
This option allows you to update valid data. This data is only released for reporting after the administrator checks the incorrect records that have not been updated and manually releases the request by setting the overall status on the Status tab page in the monitor (QM action).
                            c.      Update valid records, reporting possible
Valid records can be reported immediately. Automatic follow-up actions, such as adjusting the aggregates, are also carried out.

Firefox "check for add-on updates" checks even when not selected, request website list for firewall blocking purposes

I work for the Tech Department in a school district. Our student computers are locked down and all settings are reset after a restart. We have set firefox to always allow all add-ons to run and to never check for updates (we update them on a schedule we control). However, since the latest release, we have been prompted after EVERY flash AND EVERY java update that they are out of date and need to be updated. Having the students click on this every time for every affected webpage is no longer an option. We are also not interested in white-listing pages individually; instead, we would like to prevent firefox from finding the update server to prevent any further prompts.
Please provide me with all of the websites/web addresses that "check for add-on updates" uses so we can block them at the firewall level.
Thanks

Part of the problem may be the recent flurry of required updates to FlashPlayer. As I understand it Mozilla took the exceptional step of blocklisting some of those FlashPlayer versions after fixes were released because there were known exploits in the wild.
* See the blocklist
* And flashplayers bulletins https://helpx.adobe.com/security.html#flashplayer
Possibly you are having difficulty in keeping the software updated and so seeing valid warnings from Firefox. You appear (System info aside) to be posting using Firefox 34. The current Release is Fx35.0.1
Possibly it would be worth you considering using Firefox ESR, that still has regular updates including backported critical security fixes, but the major version stays the same for longer and there are less frequent feature changes.

I will send links for a couple of other articles by Private Message.

Compiling error: "checking for mtc_init in -lmatc... no"

Hello
I'm trying to compile the elmer fem from svn via a selfmade PKBUILD.
I've got an error message:
"checking whether we are using the Microsoft C compiler... no
checking for mtc_init in -lmatc... no
configure: error: libmatc
==> FEHLER: Ein Fehler geschah in build().
Breche ab ..."
Is here a dependency missing? Does anyone know which?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, albeit 18 months later. I am working with a tutorial from apress, which seems very high on Glassfish as a AppServer environment for learning EJB 3.0. I have the same error when I try to run the client application in the Sun Platform 9.0 Application Server's AppClient Module container , "... Error checking for persistence unit annotations in the main class..." and I think it has something to do with the fact that the AppClient is expecting "something" in the MANIFEST.MF file that actually isn't there... ( sigh ). " so close, and yet so far away.... "

I am unable to get past the first step of Winston Churchill's answer because my phone says "checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the Internet". Did my WiFi connection also get lost?

I am unable to get past the first step of Winston Churchill's answer because my phone says "checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the Internet." Did my iphone's WiFi connection also get lost with the Contacts, Mail and Text Messages? When I tried the software update, as recommended by Winston Churchill, the iphone was connected to my desktop which is connected to the Internet.

You can't use your computers Internet connection to update your phone from the phone itself. If you want to use the computers Internet connection to update your phone you must update it through iTunes.

When I tried running the examples from the SUN JMS tutorials, I landed in a problem. I did the following changes...
1. I created a new project in eclipse
2. created the java class 'Producer.java' in a package..(the one in java tutorial is not in a package)
3. copied the build.xml and made the the respective changes.
I successfully created the jar file, but when I tried to run the the application
appclient -client JMSProducer.jar eg.jms.P2PProducer.Producer queue 3it throws the following exception:
