Flash Background Update Server Specs

This may be the wrong forum, so I apologize if that is the case.
I have been working to setup an internal background update server for Flash. My dev testing is working great so it's time to move large scale...
But, in order to get a server ordered, I need to provide some specs and I can't seem to find anything helpful for determining what kind of server I should look for. My environment has over 57,000 PC's and Mac's that will be calling in for updates. Any suggestions on where to find this are appreciated.

Now the version.xml file is pointing to the below but the latest release is 11.8.800.94
<version>
<ActiveX major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="224"/>
<Plugin major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="224"/>
<MacPlugin major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="225"/>
<SAUConfig checkFrequency="1"/>
</version>
Why adobe is not keeping up-to-date with the latest version ?? Is there any other server or method to get the latest version ??

Flash internal update server, latest version not available

Following the 'Background updates from an internal server' section of the Flash 11.3 Deployment Guide, I have setup an internal Flash update server which sucessfully updates previous versions of 11.2 to 11.2.202.235 but refuses to take the brave step to 11.3. The guide tells me to copy files from these locations -
https://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_al l_win_ax_sgn.z
http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_al l_win_pl_sgn.z
http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_al l_win_64_ax_sgn.z
http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_al l_win_64_pl_sgn.z
After looking at the version.xml file it seems that version of the ActiveX Flash is 11.2.202.235 whereas if I download the normal way I get the latest 11.3.300.257 which kind of makes the whole internal server auto update thing a little pointless! Feel free to correct me if I have gone wrong somewhere up there but I have a feeling Adobe is being a little slack!

Flash internal update server

I've recently setup a Flash Player internal update server but there is an issue updating my test machines. The scheduled task runs for a second and stops. My test machines are running 11.2.202.235 but I have also tried an early 11.3. The contents of the mms.cfg file in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash is:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=server.domain.local
The files in the internal repository are up to date. In Internet Explorer I can access version.xml (which is in the correct location) on both http and https. We are using a self signed certificate.
This is the contents of FlashInstall.log:

How does internal Flash update server get updated?

I just set up the directories described in the admin guide into a server running IIS7 and copied the Z files into the structure following these instructions:
7. Copy the installer files (.z files) to the fp-major-version/install directory created in Step 2.
When finished, you see something similar to the following:
https://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_win_ax_sg n.z
http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_win_pl_sg n.z
http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_mac_pl_sg n.z
Configure clients
• Create an mms.cfg file with the following entries (replacing your.server.com with the name of your server):
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=your.server.com
• Deploy Flash Player 11.3 or higher.
• Deploy the mms.cfg to all clients for which you want the Background Updater redirected to your internal server.
I'm guessing that the clientsthat are configured with the mms.cfg that points to our server downloads those .z files and the Flash updates are contained in those files.
That seens OK, but it isn't clear to me how the update server itself gets the next set of installer update files.
Do I have to wait until I hear there is another Flash update available and then go manually download and extract another cab into those directories each time?
Is there any way to set the update server to automatically download the newest cab as soon as they are available and copy the z files from the cab into the correct directories?
Since 11.9 is the current version, I am also guessing there will be a Flash version 12 soon and a new "12" directory will have to be created for those updates.

Internal update server and flash player 12

We've been using an internal update server and a deployed mms.cfg to point internal client machines to a local webserver hosting Flash Player updates extracted from the background update .cab file, as detailed in the Administration Guide.
This has been working well for Windows & OS X clients.
For Flash Player 12, I've created a "12" folder at the same level as the 11 folder:
https://servername.domain/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/12/xml/version.xml
However, clients (that are currently running 11) are looking for:
https://servername.domain/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
So I copied the "12" folder to the "11" folder and manually triggered the scheduled task on a couple of clients and they've grabbed the newer version (except for the plugin-based browser, which haven't updated and are still using 11.9.*).
My flashinstall.log shows the following:

My questions:
1) Is this the expected method for getting version 11 to upgrade to 12 without much intervention?
2) What's triggering the error codes - the hack-ish way I've forced the update, or something else?
3) What knock-on effects will the Flash Player version renumbering have on the local webserver deployment method? And is it documented anywhere?
Thanks

Hi Maria,
The rest of the install log is below and it does install the plugin later and the log is clean of errors thereafter.
I created "12" because the previous install guide noted that the folder should be named for the major version and I assumed that guidance still held (though thinking about it you've abandoned that distinction with the recent re-numbering).
Thanks

How Configure background update on windows Server

Hi,
I read Admin guide from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html page 17-19 for background update installation and configuration but Document ask to create directory structure in Linux style and i want to configure it on my windows server please advice me how i create directory structure on windows server for background updates.
Your kind response much appreciated.
Regards,
Ahmed

On the Server where you want to share \usr\sap\trans for the landscape( I assume Server1 or PC1 in your terms), login as windows domain admin ( or with admin rights) --> right click my computer --> Manage --> click on Local Users and Groups --> Double click on administrators --> and add users of SAPService<SID> of the other server ( your Server 2 or PC2) and clock pk Ok.
This should resolve the problem.
Concept is, giving other server to read and write access to shared drive of Transport directory. There can be no. of days do implement it depending on in House Windows Skills and Secuirty audits, but the above method works.
Thanks,
Krishna

Flash Player Background Updater does not work

Since FP 11.2 I was expecting all our workstations to update Flash Player automatically when an update is released. However since FP 11.3 was released a few days ago, all our users have been prompted to install the new version every day.
Just to confirm we have "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" selected in Flash Player Settings Manager.
Is this the correct behaviour or am I missing something?

You don't say on what Mac, and you haven't actually asked a question, but perhaps this might be helpful:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are

I get following message:
Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
How can I solve this?

People,
Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.

HELP Adobe flash drive update BUG?? Big Problem

I bought a 13 inch MacBook Air in August 2014.
OS X Maverick, Version 10.9.4. 4 GB memory, 256GB storage.
I have been using Safari to see lecture videos from Echo360, and they have been working well despite the slow internet of the country.
Just until two days ago, everything had been working fine, until a Adobe Flash Driver Update popped up on my screen.
At first I ignored it (b/c I usually dont care about using the latest versions; the lecture videos had been working perfectly)
but it kept popping up so I clicked update.
The next day, my mac kept losing connection to internet every 1-3 minutes, such as "resolving host" messages.
The videos kept crashing and I had to re open the page, refreshing wouldnt work. about 15 times for a 50 minute video.
I erased the Flash Driver.plugin from my internet plug-ins in the library, and the internet came back alive.
I was guessing the "updated" plugins were eating up my internet/browser...
So then I downloaded chrome so I wouldnt have to manually use adobe anymore,
and now, the videos keep freezing at random moments at about 5-10 minute intervals. Now that the internet is back alive, i just have to refresh the page, which still takes forever to load...fortunately the browsers dont crash anymore...
Right then, I completely disposed anything related to adobe flash drive. I still have Adobe pdf which works great.
But even after, it kept freezing...
Maybe I was thinking this is normal when watching videos on chrome b/c the plug ins are not manually stored in my mac?
If not, what is causing the freezing of the videos on google chrome? (i dont think my mac is losing internet connection anymore every second like yesterday)
Is there any way to fix it? Is it from yesterday's history of downloading the "update"?
I just want to be able to watch my lecture videos like I normally did the past two weeks, before I downloaded the "update"
and now I am afraid that downloading adobe might crash my internet/browsers again.
It took me several hours to come to erasing the "updated" plug ins as I am fairly a noob in computers.
I spent a lot of time and researched a lot up till 5AM in the morning just last night.
and I have exams coming up next week... I would really want this to be resolved.
Should I try downloading adobe from its actual website and see what happens?
If yes, which versions would you recommend?
Yesterday when I checked after the update, it stated the most current Adobe 15.
If this contains bugs for mavericks, I would rather do older versions.
I do not know which version I was using before the "update" when everything worked perfectly.
Thanks for reading all this
I know I am all over the place; Im just very frustrated and desperate as not knowing what to do....
I just want my mac to work like before I clicked on the "update"
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thank you

You probably installed some kind of malware pretending to be a Flash update. That's very common.
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Silent background update: old file(s) left behind

I thought that a Windows restart may clear that file, but it did not.
How is the background updater handling this; attempt to delete it at a later stage (e.g. during the next update)?
P.S. on all other systems, all files were successfully removed.

Sorry, we only run Firefox, Chrome, and IE here, so I can't attest to what happens on those other browsers.
The only other thing I can add is that this was the 32bit version of Flash.
This is extremely easy to replicate. I went into the
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
directory and copied NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll to NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll
I then launched ProcMon from SysInternals so I could spy on exactly what was happening. Then I launched Firefox and went to the adobe flash about page. Of course, it returned version 235. But ProcMon told a different story. Firefox had launched the plugin-container.exe using the 233 DLL I just copied!
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe" --channel=2500.56b6a60.744882939 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll" - -greomni "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\omni.ja" 2500 "\\.\pipe\gecko-crash-server-pipe.2500" plugin
The problem comes because Firefox is using a QueryDirectory command with '*' when it looks in the Macromed\Flash directory for the DLL. This returns items alphabetically. It must be looking for the NPSWF32 prefix, so the LOWEST version number will always win!
To prove this, I made a copy of NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll and named it NPSWF32_0.dll. So now I'm looking at the following directory entries.
FlashInstall.log
flashplayer.xpt
FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe
FlashUtil32_11_2_202_235_Plugin.exe
mms.cfg
NPSWF32_0.dll
NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll
Note that alphabetically, my _0 copy is above the real copy. I use ProcMon to spy on Firefox once again. And Firefox goes and loads NPSW32_0.dll into the plugin-container.exe command line! This is despite the registry having no mention of this file, and all registry entries that refer to flash have NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll in them.
You guys have a huge problem here.
Get ProcMon -> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645

Flash Player Update Settings

Hello,
In our department we always set Flash Player to never check for updates.
As admins we wanted to be in control of distributing Flash to avoid any potential issues.
There have been 3 Flash updates in the last 2 weeks so we have decided it is best to allow updates to be installed.
We do not want to go through 100 Macs and change the setting manually one computer at a time.
Can you assist me with how and which preference I can modify to distribute to all computers to change this setting?
Thank you
Stacey

Hi Stacey,
The update settings are stored in the mms.cfg file. On Mac this is located at /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
There are a two different types of updates: Background Updates and Notification Updates:
For Background Updates, Flash Player checks for an update once per day (this interval is not adjustable), silently in the background, and if an update is found, it automatically installs the player, silently in the background. No user interaction is required.The mms.cfg file settings for Background Updates are:
                    AutoUpdateDisable=0
                    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
For Notification Updates, Flash Player checks for an update, silently in the background once every 7 days (this interval is adjustable). If an update is found, an Update Notification dialog window displays notifying the user that an update is available. The user can either proceed with installation or dismiss the notification. If dismissed, the process repeats itself again in 7 days. For Notification Updates, the user will be prompted to provide an Admin password to install Flash Player. If your users do not have Admin permissions, or access to an Admin account, then Background Updates would be the better option.          Notification Updates:
                    AutoUpdateDisable=0
                    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
To modify the Notification Update check interval, add AutoUpdateInterval=# where # is the number of days between intervals (valid values are 0 - 30, where 0 checks every time Flash content is viewed, 1 is once per day, etc).
An alternative option is to host the Background Updates internally, in your server. You would download the resource file containing the updates, in the required directory structure, post this to your internal server and add an additional entry to the mms.cfg file to use your internal server. When hosting Background Updates internally, the Notification Update workflow is disabled. You can obtain more information on hosting Background Updates internally on page 21 of the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.

nachdem es mir nach einigem Hin und Her gelungen ist einen Adobe Update Server aufzusetzen und auch Updates via RUM auf einen Client zu verteilen würde ich gerne einen nächsten Schritt gehen.
Derzeit ist es mir möglich die entsprechenden Updates die sich auf meinem Update Server befinden (im konkreten Fall Master Collection CS 6) zu updaten.
Ich würde aber ebenfalls gerne den Reader sowie den Flash Player entsprechend über meinen eigenen Update Server updaten lassen.
Bei meiner Suche bin ich auf dieses Dokument gestoßen: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_11_6_admin_guide.pdf
In diesem (zumindest für Version 11.5) Guide ist beschrieben wie das Ganze funktionieren soll.
Leider scheitere ich bereits an Punkt 1 im Teil: "Background Updates from an Internal Server", welcher besagt:
Configure the server
1.In your server root, create the following path structure:/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/fp-major-version/, where fp-major-version is the current major version of Flash Player (for Flash Player 11.4, the major version is 11).
Mein derzeitiger root den ich für Updates nutze lautet beispielsweise "C:\root\updates" bzw. "C:\root\webfeed".
Bedeutet dies nun dass ich unter "C:\root" diese Ordner-Struktur wie beschrieben anlegen muss?Oder wie ist das Ganze zu verstehen?.
Meine Kentnisse was Server angeht war bisher sehr beschränkt und sind nur geringfügig gestiegen durch das Bereitstellen des Update Servers.
Als Szenario ist folgende Konfiguration gegeben:
AUSST läuft auf einem Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP 2
IIS 6 ist aktiv und der Update Server ist als neue Website angelegt.
Handler sind entsprechend eingefügt für: .xml,.sig,.crl,.dmg,.zip
Clients die genutzt werden sind größtenteils Windows 7 Professional Systeme (variieren zwischen 32- und 64-Bit),aber es ist auch geplant diese Funktionalität für Windows XP-Clients zu ermöglichen.
Ist es möglich und wenn ja wie, diese Funktionalität (also Updaten von Flash Player sowie Reader von meinem Update Server) zu gewährleisten?
Ich würde mich über Antworten diesbezüglich freuen da dies ein großer Schritt ist der für uns als IT eine riesige Zeitersparnis ergeben würde.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Can I Download Background Update Resources via FTP?

I want to set up a server to automatically download the latest background update resources so that we can automatically push out the latest updates of Adobe Flash to clients.

Please say my can i download the cyan update via pc with Nokia software recovery tool.....
Yes .. you can but the entire OS will be fresh installed so all existing data will get erased. Depending on what settings you have selected, data will get synced with cloud ( i.e. OneDrive account HERE). Media content can be copied / backed-up on the PC. Once done resetup the phone with the same MS account ..

Just follow the instructions that you see on your PC screen after installing and launching Nokia Software Recovery Tool and connecting the phone to PC using the USB

ITunes fails to connect to store or iPod software update server despite working network, fails on multiple networks - no error message, just loads forever.

Hey everyone,
I have iTunes 10.4 and an iPod touch. I have always had trouble with synching my iPod.
Right now, iTunes will not connect to the iTunes store. When I try to synch my iPod touch, it gets stuck in "Step 2: Backing Up," and the bar loads forever. I've left it alone for several hours and it has not made any progress. When I try to restore the iPod, or update it, iTunes gives me an error message that it "Cannot connect to the iPod software update server. This has happened despite being connected to the internet, on both my school network and my home network.
I've tried messing with the hosts file in the System32/etc. folder as the website instructed on the apple website, but that did not solve the problem.
Recently, several parts of audiobooks I have have also become unplayable on my iPod, despite being able to be played on iTunes. The parts are listed but are grey and cannot be selected.
I recently copied a bunch of audiobooks via flash drive from my sister's computer to my iTunes - could this be part of the problem? They were from an Audible account that I don't share.
Thanks!

Your iTunes stores and sync problem solution here:
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Please update the specs for the MacBook Pro - 8GB RAM Max

Hello,
Someone needs to upgrade the specifications for the MacBook Pro now that 4GB laptop SoDIMMs are shipping and compatible with the MacBook Pro.
See my blogpost on the subject at http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2008/07/05/testing-my-apple-macbook- pro-with-8gb-of-ram.aspx.

Hello again,
Regarding having them update the specs, one can dream. Dreams are free. LOL. Hopefully the memory makers will update their specs as more makers start supporting a large memory configuration.
The 4GB sticks I am using are http://shop.kingston.com/partsinfo.asp?ktcpartno=KTL-TP667/4G
I did not do an extended test of the sticks in my MBP. Their home is in the ThinkPad I have because it is running Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V.
As you can see from the link above, these little suckers are pricey. But consider the price of 2GB SoDIMMs were $950 when they entered the market a couple of years ago. The price will drop.
I asked the Kingston rep that sent these to me if online sites like newegg.com would have them soon. She indicated no, but the corporate buying sites like CDW and Zone would. So check around. They just started shipped a couple of weeks ago so be patient.
If you have any other questions, please stop by http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2008/07/05/testing-my-apple-macbook- pro-with-8gb-of-ram.aspx and ask there. I'll see them much more quickly.
