Error during software update, slow browsing speed and maximum force quits ?

I have a mac book. Today i was doing software update, it gave me an error "operation could not be completed, connection reset by peer" ? now what does that mean?
I had recently downloaded open office application which i have deleted it. Further my internet browser are so slow that i feel surfing in stone age.
Besides, i have seen my system is getting pretty slow and i have to use force quit as some operation do not respond to the request.
What to do?

Hello,
Regarding the error in software update: It just means you lost your internet connection, but it was the fault of something on your side, not Apple's side. Try again later, or better yet, try it somewhere else. Sounds like your internet setup (your router, modem, etc) is having problems.

  • Unkown error during software update... What's happening?

    Last night I set my iphone up for an update. It first decided to backup itself... Which took ages, so I went to sleep leaving the process on.
    When I woke up in the morning, it said "Update is failed due to an unkonwn error"... something along those lines anyway.
    Now my iphone does not start, itunes does not recognize it as well.
    Since I have got it, everyday, I am coming to realize another thing that is wrong with this phone... It really *****! It is the second last worst phone I had ever used in my life, if not the worst!
    Itunes never sync properly, it is either my calender or songs that are left out...
    Somebody please advice something so it starts to work out...
    (For those who don't have an iphone yet; NEVER BUY ONE. IT IS A GREAT HARDWARE BUT SOFTWARE IS HORRIBLE

  • Network crash during software update 10.6.3 and iTunes 9.1

    Last night my wife was using her MacBook and it asked to instal the software update, which she accepted. This appeared to hang for some time and in the end she shut the Mac down. Since then the MacBook will not start up and stays on Appple and spining disk.
    I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard from the update disc but this stopped with an error (no helpfull information).
    I can access the Mac in Target mode and have run the disc utility and this does not find any errors.
    Any sugestions, as I'm at a loss as to how to fix this!

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iPhone forums.
    Regards.

  • Unexpected Error during Software Update

    Every time I try to do a software update on my macbook, it downloads, then says restart to install updates.
    When I click restart it gets about half way and then says "None of the selected updates could be installed. An unexpected error occurred."
    Please help!!!!

    Which exact update is it?
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Slow browsing speeds and super low download speeds...

    Hello,
    I wonder if anyone is having similar issues or knows what may be a possible cause. Since last night it's became impossible for me to download anything, regardless of the device or source of the download e.g. can't download anything on my PS4, can't download anything on Steam, Youtube takes an age to buffer, websites sometimes load slow, somtimes fast.
    On steam for example the download will start at around 3 MB/s but within about 20 seconds it's dropped right down to mere Bytes. To rule out an issue with my PC I've also tried downloading various things on my ipad and PS4 but have the same issue
    The odd thing is the speed test appears fine as seen below and as a result when speaking with support earlier they told me the line appeared fine. But I can't understand how that can be.

    this link may help https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity-Speed-Connection/Speed-Test-Fine-But-No-D-L-Speed/td-p/12952...

  • Firefox 3.6.6 and 3.6.3 the screens keep refreshing slowing browser speed and being a nusiance. Cannot enter information right away. Sometime have to click on emails 3 times to open then.

    etc. etc

    Please do the following:<br><br>
    #In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    #In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following: '''accessibility.blockautorefresh'''<br><br>
    #Double click it to change it from "True" to "False"<br><br>
    #Close the tab and test it.
    Incidentally, you should consider updating to version 3.6.17 by clicking Help | Check For Updates.
    The reason is because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

  • Error message during software updates

    I am constantly receiveing the following error message during software updates. This time it happened with an HP printer update, but it has happened with iTunes and Safari as well. Does anyone know what I need to do?
    The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/GeneIOUSBCFSubclass.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update
    Thanks!

    Try using Help > Updates from one of your CS6 applications.
    When you return home, you might try uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling it again. It sounds like some stuff may have become corrupted.

  • In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update.  Now, ipod is not rebooting.  Has screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on it goes back to this picture.  I don't know how to reset so that I can restore my backup

    In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update.  Now, my ipod is not rebooting.  It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture.  I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
    A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad.  But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete the udate because it said an error occurred. Then it said I needed to restore my phone and when I try to it wont let me restore my back up because it says there's not enough storag

    I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete because it said there was an error. It then gave me a message that I needed to restore my phone. When I tried to restore my backup it says it cannot be completed because there is not enough storage. I cant delete anything to make more storage because my phone is not usable because it wont restore. What do I do?

    Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

  • MacBook Pro froze during software update, now it's stuck at gray screen

    My MacBook Pro was running a little slow today so I did a Disk Utility repair and that went fine then I did a software update (OS X, Java and remote desktop) but it froze during the last ten percent of the update install and now when I boot up it won't get past the gray apple screen. I tried to restore Lion but since I bought this used my Apple ID wasn't used to purchase Lion so I can't do a restore.
    I've tried to safe boot and boot from a CD but no go.
    I also tried the short and long Apple hardware tests and those found no problems

    In case anyone else needs an answer to this, I called in to Apple. Tech support said to power it off and let it reboot itself. I had to go back into updates and tell it to finish the install (restart computer, was the only step remaining) and it worked fine. It took longer because it had gotten hung up during the previous restart. ( Just to clarify, I was stuck on the grey screen after the restart step of the install.)

  • After trying a software update it froze midway and is now not responding and not being recognised by itunes. Help!!

    Hi
    My 3rd Gen Ipod Touch was undergoing a software update when it stopped and itunes threw up a message saying "Update cannot be completed due to an unknown error". I disconnected and reconnected the ipod, and itunes suggested I restore the ipod. I started the restore and it froze midway and again said "Cannot be completed due to unknown error". The ipod is now frozen with the apple logo and an empty progress bar. It is not responding to anything. Windows is recognising it by opening Itunes but Itunes is not showing the divice in the pane. I dont know what to do! Please help!
