I am having trouble with the updates to firefox. Each time I start it I get a page that says proxy server refusing connections and have to reinstall the old version just to use the internet. That also removes the personas from my browser.

I currently have version 3.0.10 and have gotten two prompts to upgrade my version of firefox and each time I do install the new version and then try to start up Firefox, I get a page instead that says proxy server is refusing connections and the only way to browse is to re-install the old version. I also have to re-install the old version at least 3 times before I can use Personas.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings". 
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection" 
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

Having trouble with downloading updates for Firefox 4

I am using Mac OS X latest version operating system. I have replaced my latest version of Safari with the latest version of Firefox. When I click on "Update Firefox", the status bar does not show the progress of the update. I let it run with no other programs running in the background. I then get an error message stating "There was a problem loading the update". I am unclear as to how I should proceed. Thank you for your time and I appreciate any assistance!

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?

Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Having trouble with itunes update. Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit. Thanks.

Having trouble with itunes update. Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit. I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.
It says itcan't find the itunes64.msi destination folder.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Firefox 3.6 won't load properly because of the error "Proxy server refusing connections".

I tried to download Firefox 3.6 but it wouldn't finish loading because of the message " Proxy server refusing connections". How do I over ride this problem? The last couple of days my firefox 3.5.2 has been crashing or locking up almost every time I opened it. It got so frustrating that I tried downloading 3.6 to see if it would work any better. No luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I run Windows 2000 XP.

Go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Network --> Settings and choose "Do not use Proxy" to see if that helps.

Can not open my browser. It says proxy server refuses connectiom. This happened after an update to firefox

I am unable to update to the new version, "proxy server refusing connection."

I am running version 3.6.3 right now and I have not been able to do any of the recent updates, because after I go through the download process and launch Firefox I receive the message "proxy server is refusing connections please try again later, and I am unable to get to the internet unless I redo the 3.6.3 setup. Anybody that has the magic answer would be great, since I have to go through this process every day when I get on my laptop...

Hi
I am having this problem and tried to follow your instructions. However, when I got to 'Advanced' I did not see a Network Tab. The closest reference I could find under my 'settings' was 'HTTP1.1 - use HTTP1.1 through Proxy connections' I have the option of 'unclicking' that box. I wasn't sure if that would solve my problem.
Thanks

Having trouble with installing updates

Hello,
I am having trouble installing updates. I checked the windowsupdate.log file and I see:
2015-03-13

680 Agent
* Criteria = "(DeploymentAction=* AND Type='Software') OR (DeploymentAction=* AND Type='Driver')"
In reading others' posts, I noticed in their logs contain "DeploymentAction=Install" .. could this potentially be the issue why it will not install the update? If so, where does this get set at so I can modify it? I looked around
but was not able to find this setting.
Thanks for the help!

Hello,
Here is what I see in the logs. Can you please take a look and see if anything stands out? There are a lot of errors/failures/warnings in the
WindowsUpdate.log. Please look at the last 4 lines of this log listed below -- looks like it is looking for approval or "WARNING: There are no approved updates to install". Where is this coming from? Is this
why the updates do not get installed? Thanks for any help in reviewing these logs. Thanks.

To All IPod Users having Trouble with Live Updating playlists.

I thought I should share this with other IPod users as there is quite a bit of discussion on the net about it.
After 3 days trying to get "Smart Playlists"to live update on my IPod touch, reading, researching and reading more, I finally got my Ipod playlist to live update.
I've discovered that certain rules break live updating.
OK it is only a basic set of rules, but it is working.
The 1st thing I did was group all my songs using the "Composer" field. Do not use sorting, it breaks live updating.
example: All songs were composed by Music, all Soundtracks were composed by Soundtrack. And so on. I did this in ITunes using "Get Info".
I placed two rules in my playlist:
Composer is Music
Last Played is not in the last 6 months.
I ticked "Live Update"
Do not use Limit to as this breaks Live Updating as well.
If your list is in a different order on your IPod then in ITunes just select any other column in ITunes other than the numbered column, e.g. Name. Your list should match now in both ITunes and your IPod.
Just use shuffle within the playlist to mix things up.
Once played your track should drop off your playlist.
Hope this helps.

I live by my Smart playlist to sort out all my TV shows and Video Podcast but it suddenly stopped updating after I paid $25 for the iTunes Match service.
It stopped in iTunes. I don't worry to much about my iPhones because I plug them in every day and it will update iTunes.
If iTunes doesn't work the apple TV, iPads and iPhones don't work.
Do I need to cancel the iTunes Match service?
Please someone find a fix.

HT1222 Anyone having trouble with this update? My open / save dialogs stopped working after this update...

Affected applications seem to be Rosetta ones...

Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta programs
Restore method.
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect. If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. But installed programs are more complicated and best left to reinstalling via original sources.
#2 Try Restoring from a TimeMachine or option bootable clone
If you have TimeMachine drive, or a hold the option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
Note: A TM restore can take a awfully long time, a clone restore takes under 2 hours in most cases.
#3 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
If no TM or bootable clone then:
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#4 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001.
#5 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason.
If you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall old programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

#9 Unverified hacks
Note: You may see a "hack" for this issue floating around, it has had mixed results as people's software is different.
You may want to try it, but it's at your own risk. It has worked fast for some and not at all for others, hopefully over time it will work for all.
The above methods I outline are Apple approved restore methods + based upon experience here and not a quick fix, but are sure to work as Apple recommends such steps themselves.
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
If at any time you feel this is beyond your capability, please seek local professional assistance before you lose your data.
Please maintain at least a TM drive, just hook up a external drive and TM will ask you to make a backup
If your a bit more skilled, a option bootable clone is much superior than TM drive.
Good luck
