HT6146 Unable to update Software Update to iOS6.1.6

I cant update Software Update for my 3GS from iOS6.1.3 to iOS6.1.6. It always prompt me there is an error. Even if I connect to my labtop, my 3GS and my labtop can't detect each other

If your PC cant detect your iphone, please read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
This should fix your connectivity problem.
As for the restore problem, after itunes recognizes your device, do the following:

Unable to do Software update, access iTunes, use widgets on dash and upload

*_Here is the problem:_*
1. Unable to use Software Update. When I try I get: "+A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again+" This is despite being connected to the internet and getting most things done.
2. Widgets which require data retrieval are not working. Notably weather and currency convertor.
3. iTunes cannot connect to the store. Tells me to check my network (which, if I do, I am told is fine, thanks)
4. Cannot view images (such as car rental vouchers) which are meant to display in email. In fact- the entire email disappeared before my eyes! But CAN, luckily, view on the server so I KNOW it is not just that the image is "spam" etc.
5. First thing on this list which made me wary- I cannot upload to YouTube, it times out ("unknown error" but timing out is mentioned) and this is using Firefox 3.8.3.
6. Safari will not load at all- it just keeps trying to load.
7. Displaying pages is slower than usual and downloading Onyx took ages and displayed no data regarding the file size or length of download time.
*_What I know:_*
1. I didn't update the last two times I was prompted because I was too busy to have it shut down on me and restart, etc.
2. I also had a go at trying to set up a web proxy and failed miserably. Though I actually changed the settings on another network to the one I am using I am so not network-literate that I fear that I have somehow done this to myself.
*_What I have tried:_*
1. safe starts, restarts,
2. deleting the preferences pertaining to Software Update from the various locations,
3. repaired permissions and-
4. thought of (I cannot afford to lose the data and haven't the time to back up just now- as per usual, this comes at the WORST time as I am on standby to fly out of the country due to VERY heavy and sad family affairs and need access to the files on the computer even if I cannot fully use the internet- just too many people/GB Pounds riding on this) using Onyx to try to "fix" this.
I have read up on others getting similar issues but am not certain that everyone has ALL the symptoms I am seeing (and then they may not be busy trying all these things on the one day and may not KNOW it is affected as well!). And I have tried each and every cure offered to these people. No good.

When you are going to be connecting to different networks that require different settings--such as proxies--you must establish different Locations in your Network System Preferences. If you're going to be connecting at college, you may want to set up a location called "College" and set the proxy settings so you can use it there. Then, when you want to go online at school, go to System Preferences -> Network and change your location to College. Then when you get home, change your settings back to "Automatic" or whatever you've named your home location.
Your Mac doesn't differentiate between networks it's connected to in order to automatically apply different settings. It relies on you to do that through the Locations set-up.
Anyway, glad it's working for you, and thanks for the star!

HT4623 I am unable to see software update option in setting- general iPhone 3gs

I am unable to update my iPhone 3gs , there is no option of software update in setting->general.

You need to update it from iTunes on a computer to get that option. As the article itself states, that's available in iOS 5 and later, but the device is running iOS 3.

Photoshop crashes, unable to perform Software Update, general slowness.

I am writing on behalf of a colleague at work.
He is using a brand new iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It is running Mac OS X 10.5.5 and he is trying to update to 10.5.6 to correct some problems he's been encountering.
He has been experiencing repeated crashes with Adobe Photoshop and Mozilla Firefox, as well as general slowness. The biggest problem happens when trying to perform a Software Update.
"The installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
The Mac then freezes and has to be force shut down. After that it sometimes will not start again either.
We have run a permissions verify and repair, and errors were corrected but the problem continues. We also ran a disk verify and it found errors, but when we tried to correct the errors it said that there were no errors.
A memory test in the Apple Hardware Test showed no errors either. We are running an hour-long test now.
We suspect there may be a hardware problem. Could anybody please advise on any other things we could try?

The computer answered this question for us. Today it will not boot.
It is going to be serviced, I suspect a logic board problem.

Unable to install software update August 2014, "Unexpected error occurred."

PLEASE HELP!
What I am trying to do: Install the latest update on my computer. 1) Because it's an update. 2) Because I need, and currently cannot, access the iCloud feature in my system preferences.
What I have recently done to my computer:
I am currently uploading all my data into the Cloud.
I purchased iTunes Match and Google Drive. Google Drive caused problems on my computer, so I deleted it. It was causing it to crash. It hasn't crashed since, but now runs more slowly.
iTunes Match is taking forever, but seems to be working.;:
Something else I've noticed with iTunes, every time I open the application now, it puts these files onto my desktop screen: iTunes Media folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library.xml, Album Artwork folder, iTunes Library Extras.itdb and iTunes Library Genius.itdb.
Like I said, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Unable to install software updates

I have been trying to install the latest software updates so that I can upgrade to Lion. But whenever I try to install update(s) an error message is shown saying that the update cannot be installed & contact the software manufacturer for any help. This error message is shown "The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs." I also tried to install the updates after downloading them from apple download support. Again the same kind of message is shown. Due to some network error the update cannot be installed this time, try to install again. But I've no network problem. My internet is working properly. I can browse, download, watch moves.. Everything is just working fine. I even downloaded the same file 2-3times just to be sure. For example, I was trying to install "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5".. First, I tried the apple software update from my mac. After failing several times I downloaded the file from apple download support site. Still I wasn't able to install it. I've been waiting eagerly to install the new OS X Lion but because of this update install issue I can't install Lion! Please help. Thanks in advance.

When you run the package installer from direct Apple download site (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421), make sure you quit the browsers first. I did that, and it installed fine.

Unable to complete software update

When i begin software updates I get a message: A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.

I am having the same problem. I have tried downloading many times, from many different networks over many months and have been unsuccessful. Any help out there?

Unable to run software updater, why?

Hi,
Please please help.
I have installed the software updater on my laptop but when I try to run it get a message saying I need 256mb of memory and it the wizard closes. I have 34GB of free space on my laptop so I don't understand why this is happening. Any ideas would be grealty accepted.
Cheers
Emma

You need to get it (RAM) up. Increased. The only way to get more RAM memory is to buy a memory upgrade for your laptop.
If you have a friend, relative or colleague with a PC that has more RAM, you can try upgrading using that PC (if they'll let you).
Other than that, you can also find a Nokia service/repair center nearest to where you live, and go there with your phone and ask if they can do the firmware update while waiting (best to call first).

Unable to run Software Update

I have a Macbook Dualcore and have issues checking for software updates. When I run software updater I get the error message: "A networking error has occured: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again." It then suggests that I should run Network Diagnostics (which I do) but it finds that my internet is working quite well, indeed. In fact, I just tried to update my software as I sit here posting this, chatting with people on iChat, and it still tells me that I may have to check my internet connection. What should I do???

Hi Kiwi,
Try dragging these files to the desktop, then reboot and see if it works...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
We have other things to try if it doesn't.

Pages says I need an update, Software Updates says I don't

When I open Pages 09 4.0.3 it tells me I need a software update. Yet running Software Update responds that all software is up to date.
I believe there is a later version of Pages with improved Lion support (like full page modes).
I've been to Apple Support pages download section. I can't find a Pages standalone update, and the iWork update won't run because I don't have the whole suite..
How can I get that upgrade?

I don't understand.
As you are running Pages 4.0.3, I guessed that you bought the iWork package as a whole.
If my memory is OK, the first version available on mac App Store (MAS) was 4.0.5.
If you bought from the MAS, you must update from the MAS too.

Combo, Delta updates & software update

Updated to 10.4.6 yesterday and reading other posters experiences.
No problems here except for possible fan/overheating issues (fans seem to speed up then slow right down before gradually speeding up, etc, etc).
My question is: is it possible for an OS update to run the system at a higher temp? (and why would this be so - surely the OS wouldn't be that processor intensive or wouls it?)
Also I read somewhere on these forums that the continual usage of software update may cause some issues....?
Thanks in advance.

I have just updated software updates for my iMac and I am still not able to get Firefox 4 to be accepted by Snow Leopard - how can this be solved?

It appears that a number of people have had this problem, but I have not found a comprehensive location that will solve the compatibility problem between Snow Leopard and Firefox 4. Does this require the services of a tech to solve?

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Clients not updating Software updates

Hello -
I've got my Software Update Server all configured, I think, correctly.
Updates are downloading (71 downloaded so far, 71 available)
Have pointed my clients at the server using Workgroup manager (computer group) and following instructions on page 89 of the manual. ie entering :
http://su.domain_name.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.
sucatalog
as the server address (replacing the s.domain_name with my hostname)
But when clients connect - they say that their software us up to date - even though one is on 10.6.1 and the others are on Safari 4.0.3. They are successfully connecting to my SUS (my hostname appears in the title bar of Software Update on the client.
I have check the preference files at /Library/Preferences and the output of
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
is
http://**MY HOSTNAME**:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
There is also a preference file in /Library/Managed Preferences with the same setting
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew

I had this same issue today. Apple support walked me through "completely resetting" the Software Update service and it worked. You need to stop Software update on the server, remove the contents of /var/db/swupd/html and /etc/swupd, restart the server and re-setup software update. This will cause all of the updates to download again.
However, I am curious what really fixed the problem and wonder if anyone who still has the problem can confirm this for me? If you look in the /var/db/swupd/html folder, are there 3 symbolic links in the folder for the tiger/leopard/snow lepoard catalogs? (See below...)
lrwxr-xr-x 1 _softwareupdate _softwareupdate 87 Nov 19 14:19 index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog -> /var/db/swupd/html/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.s ucatalog
lrwxr-xr-x 1 _softwareupdate _softwareupdate 75 Nov 19 14:19 index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog -> /var/db/swupd/html/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
lrwxr-xr-x 1 _softwareupdate _softwareupdate 51 Nov 19 14:19 index.sucatalog -> /var/db/swupd/html/content/catalogs/index.sucatalog
Try recreating them if they are not there and trying again. Let us all know if it works or if my hypothesis is incorrect.
