Firefox has been strongly suggesting I update, which I've tried, but I just get the "barber pole" wait with message "connecting to the update server" for hours and nothing happens

Firefox has been suggesting I update my software for a few weeks now. I happily click on "update now" and my Mac appears to be trying to connect to the update server. The window displays "Downloading Firefox" and the barber pole wait bar is moving. I've done this 5-6 times, for HOURS at a time, and nothing happens.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Since I updated to iCloud, Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 has no problems. What's wrong?

Since I updated to iCloud, (which may or may not be related) Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 and my old iMac has no problems. When there is no service a yellow warning triangle appears adjacent to the Inbox and Connection Doctor reports,"Trying to log into this MobileMe IMAP account failed. Verify that username and password are correct." Since it does fetch Mail from time to time they cannot be wrong.... can they? Should I update to 10.7 and if so what does that entail?

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

Firefox has been unsuccessfully attempting to download a software update for a few days now... What’s the problem?

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version. 
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox has been asking everyday to update to the latest version. When I said ok it said that my Google bar wasn't compatible so I declined the update for weeks.

You seem to have Firefox 5.0 already installed and the Google toolbar will not work with that version or any future version of Firefox. Firefox 5.0.1 is the current version. Firefox 6 is scheduled to be released (replacing Firefox 5.0.1) on 08-16-2011 (subject to change).
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

Since the last automatic update, Firefox has been running slow as molasses, with a refresh box coming up constantly. What can I do to correct this?

Since the last automatic update (approx. one week ago) my Firefox has been running slow as molasses and I keep getting a "refresh" box popping up when the pages get hung up (very often)
What can I do to correct this? I clean my cache out at least once daily - most days more. Virus scan says I'm clear of viruses - Glary Utilities tells me that all changes to my registry have been fixed (sneaky apps trying to get in) I'm going crazy because I am used to my FF being fast! HELP!!!

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.

If you continue to receive this error please check that the virtual appliance is configured to use the dynamichost for updating:
myesa_2.local> updateconfig
Service (images): Update URL:
<ommitted for brevity>
[]> dynamichost
Enter new manifest hostname : port
[update-manifests.sco.cisco.com:443]>
Once 'dynamichost' is entered, the current dynamic host in use will be displayed in the prompt [ ]>, as seen above.
You will need to verify that the appliance - escpecially if a virtual (VESA) - is using the correct host.

Is it possible to disable "whats new" page that shows up every time Firefox has been updated

Any time Firefox has been updated, there is a "What's new" tab. Firefox updates too often for this page to be interesting. Now it's just plain annoying.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to stop that page from loading.
EDIT: Found this after posting. May or may not work.
*http://hustlersworldwide.info/disable-firefox%E2%80%99s-what%E2%80%99s-new-page-after-updates/
The purpose of the page is to keep users informed. For example, do you know the reason(s) for the upgrades to versions 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 (also 3.6.21 and 3.6.22)? Many/most users do not.
Plus, one click to close the tab isn't too much effort, is it?

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. But no other appleID has ever been used on my computer, how could this be resolved?

WebPart is raising the following error "Invalid data has been used to update the list item.The field you are trying to update may be read only"

I have created a farm solution and then i deploy it to SharePoint server, the code looks as follow, and i use it to update a page info values (as the current page values represents old info):-
[ToolboxItemAttribute(false)]
public partial class VisualWebPart1 : WebPart
// Uncomment the following SecurityPermission attribute only when doing Performance Profiling using
// the Instrumentation method, and then remove the SecurityPermission attribute when the code is ready

// [System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Assert, UnmanagedCode = true)]
public VisualWebPart1()

using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
SPList list = web.Lists["Pages"];
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
foreach (SPListItem items in list.Items)
items["Author"] = "SharePoint";
items["Created"] = "01/08/2014 01:44 PM";
items.Update();
list.Update();
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
but when i try adding this web part to a page i got the following error:-
Invalid data has been used to update the list item.The field you are trying to update may be read only

web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
and
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
and other parts of code remains without change

I have been unable to update iTunes on my Windows PC.

I have been unable to update iTunes on my Windows PC. An error message keeps coming up saying a .dll is missing. My daughter has experienced the same issue with her PC. No problems with my iMac or iOS devices. I thought I may have some corrupted files, so I deleted iTunes and attempted to download it. The same error message came up, and now I don't have iTunes on my PC. Has anyone experienced a problem with an update of iTunes on a Windows based PC?

Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only.

Trying to follow Serge Luca's Step by Step Tutorial. Creating Workflows for Windows Sharepoint Services and MOSS2007. http://sergeluca.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E8A06D5F2F585013!859.entry
I have an onWorkflowActivated, followed by an ifElse condition and a log to history.
In the IfElse, each branch has a code segment, that trys to update the status column in the list that the workflow is attached to.
private void Authorize_ExecuteCode(object sender, EventArgs e)
// tried serveral methods
WorkflowProperties.Item["Status"] = "Automatically Approved";
// tried all of the following (one at a time)
item.update();
WorkflowProperties.Item.Update();
WorkflowProperties.Item.SystemUpdate();
//tried this as well.
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem item = WorkflowProperties.Item;
item["Status"] = "Automatically Approved";
item.Update() ;
On the update call I keep getting "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
Could someone explain how to update "Status" column of the list item that the workflow is working on?
Thank you very much.
Bill

Hi:
you can do the following:
add the following code to the workflow.xml file (under the MetaData section)
Code Snippet
<ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
<StatusColumnValue>Branch1</StatusColumnValue>
<StatusColumnValue>Branch2</StatusColumnValue>
</ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
then add 2 SetState activities one in each branch of the IfElse.
for the code behind of setState1 (branch1) write the following code:
Code Snippet
state = Convert.ToInt32(SPWorkflowStatus.Max);
for setState2 (branch2) write the following:
Code Snippet
state = Convert.ToInt32(SPWorkflowStatus.Max) + 1;
where state is the variable assigned to the field State in the properties of the SetState(design lever), or instead of state u can use the following code:
Code Snippet
((SetState)sender).State
where sender is the object sent through the function parameter.
hope this answered your question
Best Regards
