FF3.6.13 keeps telling me updates are available but it has been connecting to server for days when is it going to happen
I/m using winXP SP when i open FF browser a message appears in the bottom taskbar updates are avaialable Igo into "check for updates"& another box says "downloading the update" &"connecting to server" but this has been going on for days how long does it take? I have used up my 2gig monthly download from OPTUS but with the slow connection updates should be done by now any help on whats wrong?
[[Updates reported when running newest version]] - link
The cause could be due to your user agent being mixed up as 3.6.12 and 3.6.13 versions. I think downloading 3.6.13 from www.mozilla.com and then uninstall your 3.6.13 and then install the 3.6.13 you downloaded should fix it in this case. Your settings are in a separate place ([[Profiles]]) and not in program folder.

I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?
The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them. -
I get banners messages that updates are available, but when the App Stroe applications searches for updates it can't find them and says that: no uodates are available. I had to download both the MAC OS10.8.1 and MAC OS10.8.2 manually from the Apple website.

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?
You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly. -
I just had my iPad 3 replaced. It is running iOS 6.1.3 and I am not able to update my apps.
I think there's a problem with the update server.
There are many similar cases on this discussion. -
Application updates are available, but I can't log In!
Hi,
Since updating to iTunes 8.1, I'm experiencing some very strange Store behavior.
In iTunes, when I click on Applications, an indicator appears notifying me that there are 3 iPhone Application updates available, and I'm being asked to log into the store to download these updates. Although I KNOW I'm entering the correct password, I can't log in. The weird thing is, if I enter this same password, I can access my account, available credits, etc.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!Same problem here basically: I have app upgrades ready to download but cannot get to them. Tried different ISPs. I get a window to pop up indicating: "Could not complete the iTunes Store Request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection and try later". OTOH, I can buy and download NEW apps OK. Same thing when trying to download app upgrades from the iPhone itself: "Cannot connect to the iTunes store".
That problem seems to have generated a firestorm of concerns elsewhere on the Apple Discussion Forums:

Syncing from pc to iPhoto imbedded in iPad... I spent hundreds of hours naming jpeg files/pics, and they were ordered properly ((per my naming, like 0001 bla bla.jpeg, 0002 blah blah.jpeg, etc.... They were syncing perfectly in order, until last SW update... Now, still in right order on pc, but last sync scrambled them all back to date order on iPad after sync... Any ideas?
Thanks for your response. I thought there was something I wasn't doing right or something I was missing.
Aperture and Mobileme syncing is really "hit or miss", unpredictable. Especially after a manual arrangement of the order of photos within an album. And selection of the "key photo" is also hit or miss. Sometimes it sticks. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it sticks for a bit and then reverts back to the 1st photo of the album.
It's ironic that one of Apple's motto is "it just works"! In this case, it really doesn't work! -
How long does it take to install the new iphone update, my iphone is been stuck at the same % for over a hour.
The update should not take more than 5 minutes to download and update.
I would recommended pressing on the sleep/wake button for a few seconds untill you see the 'slide to shut down' bar. Shut the device down and try again. -
Since I upgraded to iphoto 11, I have not be able to access my photos without the program locking up, not respondiong, and shutting down. iphoto has went into repair on its own, but still shuts down. I have sent in reports each time, but have not figured out the problem. Has anyone else had this problem?
Post the first 50 - 100 lines of the crash log?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result. -

Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,

i keep trying to restore my iphone 4s as there is some lag so i need to install 5.1.1 but it keeps telling me servers are temperarily down. according to me it permanent what can i do to fix this issue
Either your security software is blocking access to Apple's servers, or your computer was used at some time in the past to hack or jailbreak some iDevice (not necessarily the phone you are restoring), and your computer's network database has been corrupted. If you know this is the case edit your "hosts" file and remove all lines containing "gs.apple.com". If you are sure it is not the case temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall.

How can I resolve error code -54 in iTunes? I am using the latest iTunes. No new updates are available. I'm using iTunes 11.3 on a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8. I can't save my library in iTunes, the message just keeps popping up.
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Although there is no formal list of OSX error code some of the old codes still apply to OSX .)
First, try simply restarting your computer.
Try quitting iTunes, then deleting the .xml (not .itl !) version of the library file in the iTunes folder (iTunes will generate a new one).
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814 - various things to try.

My iMac keeps telling me that a DVD that clearly has content on it, is blank.
Hello: My iMac keeps telling me that a DVD that clearly has content on it, is blank. I thought, at first, that maybe the disc was blank. But then I inserted a DVD movie that I created using iMovie and it told me the same thing. No matter what DVD I inserted, I got the same response..Does this mean that the Optical Drive is dead? Do I need to purchase a "Super Drive"? Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated...Thanks
There are two schools of thought on external optical drives.
You can go with cheap drives (anything under $50) and know going in that you may have to replace the drive in a year or two if you use the drive regularity.
The other thought is to purchase more expensive drives that will last longer than two or three years that are faster and are bulit to be more durable and rugged.
I am in this camp.
Here is one I would recommend.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRF82SD24S/
This one has no burning software included. If you have burning software already, this shouldn't be an issue.
Here's the one I use, but the used price for this is too high, IMO
I only paid $179 for this new, locally.

IF you want to add additonal Blu-ray Capabilites, there are many other drives listed here in different price ranges.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/
I prefer the OWC Mercury Pro line of drives, prefer tray loading drives that have multiple connections (in case one connection scheme goes bad) and drives that have their own power supplies and do not rely on bus power from the computer, itself. These drives come in a very durable and rugged enclosure.
