First installation, cannot reach the update server

I use PB for the first time, can not connect to software update server? what is the solution

Most problems with the initial connection to wifi and updating are router related. Try connecting to an open wifi signal from a neighbor or coffee shop. If you can connect to an open source, the problem will likely be a setting in your router.
You can upgrade your router software over the Internet.
Try these settings on your PB which were successful for me.
The wifi connection you want is WPA Personal. Once selected it will open a box asking for some info. It wants to know the name of your home network. You can likely get this from your laptop. Check and it will give the network name your laptop runs on. Next it wants to know the router access code. This is normally printed on the router, side, top, bottom. Have a look. It may be up to 26 numbers and letters long and it could be case sensitive. Write this number down exactly as listed on your router and enter it carefully into the box on your PlayBook.
Try this and let me know if it works.

  • HT201210 iTunes cannot find the update server

    After months and months of not being able to update my iPhone 4 to the new technology due to storage usage, i was finally able to. Now after two hours of waiting, my phone says it was verifying the update. My phone turned off and then turned back on and i got the plug into iTunes icon. After i plugged it in it says that the iPhone update server cannot be found.

    Temporarily disable any security software on the computer then try the update again.

  • I keep geting asked to update FireFox and when I do it gets stuck in a loop "waiting for the update server", am I doing something wrong?

    I'm running FireFox 4.0 and get asked to update. When I go thru the steps I get to a Software Update window that says Downloading Firefox and has a status bar. Under the bar it first says "Waitng for the update server" then it goes to "Connecting to the update server" but goes on forever and never gets anywhere.

Should I return it to the store where I bought it? I hope somebody help me on this. Thank you  & God bless
    Ruby Anne

    Wait it appears to be working.  I can confirm this method works.
    The next time I turned it on it appeared to apply the update, then look for a smaller update and it found it!   It's booting for the first time now!!! WOOOHOOOOO : DD
    Takes ages to boot. "Installation Successful".
    OS 2.0.0.7971
    Good luck guys
    edit: Can I just add that I was forced to do a fair bit of reading online, try 2 other wifi's and even exhange the model at the reasonably priced Computer store I bought it from with not much help from the chump behind the counter just to begin using this thing.  Not impressed (esp when I think of the ease in which I got my ipad up and running).

  • I am running 4.0 version, and each time I open Firefox, I get a software update that says "Downloading Firefox / connecting to the update server", but it just STICKS there??? Why is this happening?

    I am running Firefox 4.0 version, but for some reason, it tries to download updates and then gets stuck on trying to connect to the update server. This has been happening the past few days. When I close the update, I can proceed in Firefox without incident (that I know of).

  • I keep getting notified that there is an important update to Firefox that I need to install but when I click on the icon all that happens is a message that I am connecting to the update server but a connection never happens

    I keep getting a message stating that it is critical that I update my Firefox. I click on the update icon and a software update box shows up and tells me I am connecting to the update server but the connection never happens. I have left it running for hours but no connection ever occurs. Should I ignore this or do I need to go to your website and download from there? I don't want to lose my current settings.

    In the Task Manager, make sure to check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab. On the Processes tab, Firefox may have two different components running: firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe. Well, in 3.5.11, it would be only the first one.

  • Server 2012 R2 SMB - The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

    Hi,
    We are having issues with Server 2012 R2 SMB shares.
    We try to write some changes to a file, but we first create a temporary backup in case the write fails. After the backup is created we write the changes to the file and then we get an error:
    The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.
    It looks like the backup process keeps the original file in use.
    The problem doesn't always occur the first time, but almost everytime after 2 or 3 changes. I have provided some code below to reproduce the problem, you can run this in a loop to reproduce.
    The problem is that once the error arises, the file remains 'in use' for a while, so you cannot retry but have to wait at least several minutes. 
    I've already used Process Explorer to analyze, but there are no open file handles. 
    To reproduce the problem: create two Server 2012 R2 machines and run the below code from one server accessing an SMB share on the other server.
    Below is the code I use for testing, if you reproduce the scenario, I'm sure you get the same error.
    We are not looking for an alternative way to solve this, but wonder if this is a bug that needs to be reported?
    Anybody seen this behavior before or know what's causing it?
    The code:
    string file =
    @"\\server\share\test.txt";
    if (File.Exists(file))
    File.Copy(file, file +
    ".bak", true);
    File.WriteAllText(file,
    "Testje",
    Encoding.UTF8);
    The error:
     System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

    Hi,
    There is someone else having the same issue with yours. You could try code in the article below:

  • Daily I receive a question for updating my Firefox (s.6.17 MacOs), but when I agree the result is Or no contact with the update-server

    Daily I receive a message for updating my Firefox (3.6.17 MacOs 10.6.8) but when I agree, it takes quite a long time and then OR a message: no contact with the update-server OR something like: Sorry we cannot find xxxxx(?!).
    QUESTION: HOW TO UPDATE?
    [By the way: what about version 8.0! Is that perhaps for mobile-systems?
    With regards, Jan Stevens.

    If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 8.0.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
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • "Cannot find the DHCP server" message in 2012 R2

    Hello All,
    I am running Server 2012 R2 with a DHCP server running on it(usually).  Every few days or so, when I go into my DHCP console, I click on my server and I get the above message written in the topic of this thread??  Does anyone know why this is happening? 
    The server is literally on all the time.  It mentions that the DHCP service isn't running, but what can be shutting that down?  From what I have tried, the only way for me to rectifiy the issue is to do a restart during non-peak hours and the DHCP
    server comes right up no problem.  It doesn't seem like I am having DHCP problems in my organization even though this message is up.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    How are things going?
    Based on your description, you get “Cannot find the DHCP server” message, but it seems that the DHCP services in your organization has no problems.
    I agree with Jugganutz1871. In addition, have you recently made some changes in your DHCP server or your network? Such as, there are some cases with firewall.
    If there are any updates, please feel free to let us know.
    Best Regards,
    Tina
