I keep getting a download update and it runs but never connects to the server. What do I do to correct this problem?

Firefox won't update. I keep getting a download request and it tries to connect to the server but it just keeps on running and never downloads any thing.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* 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 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.

How to ensure a smooth update and smooth running mac

Hello all. First off this is not a 'help' or 'query' post, thanks to everyone in this Discussion who has helped me in the past for various mac problems, thought I "give back" and post some good tips and usage on "ensuring a smooth update and smooth running mac" in the long run.
Altogether I have 3 Macs at home to "maintain" (my iMac G5, MacBook and my sis's Mac mini Intel) and in the office my own G5 Tower and 2-3 other same G5s. So far I have "dare to say" (touchwood ) I have not run into any major problems while performing any major OS or Security Updates; I know some of these steps are mentioned and even "preach" many times, but by doing them, you avoid all the inconvenience in the long run:
Always Backup:
1. Whatever you do, invest in a 2nd hard drive and perform regular back ups!
2. If you have a G5 Tower or Mac Pro, get a 2nd drive or 3rd and install internally, if you have the other Macs, get an external FireWire Hard Drive.
3. Use SuperDuper, and pay the little shareware to get the additional automatic and scheduling functions to help you perform auto backups, or if you prefer doing the backup manually
4. For home users, I would recommend you perform a Backup once every 2 weeks. Heavy office/work use, I say once a week
Performing Updates:
1. Before Starting Up, unplug all external devices like FW drives, USB hubs etc, leave only your wired keyboard, mouse and internet connection (unless they are all wireless)
2. Start Up your mac, quit all running applications and Repair Disk Permission
3. Restart again and Repair Permission again
4. Quit all other running apps and also turn off Norton Anti-virus, run Software Update
5. Whether or not you have the Restart option after the update, Restart your mac
6. Repair Disk Permission
7. Shut down the mac, fix all the external devices etc
8. Start up your mac, Repair Permission again
9. Use your Mac as usual
I have been doing these since all the 10.4 updates and I have not encounter any problems with all my macs.
When a Kernel Panic occurs:
1. Restart the mac and boot into Single User Mode (fsck)
2. Run fsck and Repair the mac
3. Reboot the mac, Repair Permission
Regular Maintenance:
1. Get a Maintenance Utility like Cocktail, and pay for the shareware and schedule regular maintenance cycles.
2. The Mac OS also has a "built-in" maintenance script that runs in the wee hours (local time), so it is actually encourage that you at least leave your mac on overnight for at least one or two nights in the week.
If you do not wish your mac to be left on till the morning, you can always schedule in Energy Saver's Schedule options for the mac to turn on and off at your designated times.
I always leave my office mac on till about 4-5 am in the morning and I set things like Cocktail and NAV scans to run in those hours so they won't disrupt your day time operations, I do the same to my own home iMac.
These tips and pointers are not new and have been mentioned many times in these posts, but if you just take that extra little time to follow through, you will be ensure a better and healtheir running mac.
Cheers

You can enter your Mac's serial number at this site. Information, based on the serial number, will be shown. http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html Then tell us what model PB you have.
Usually, you get a blinking ? when no OS is installed. The startup tone (bong) you heard indicates the PB passed the startup hardware test.

I'm trying to update my iphone, but when I download the software update and then when it is "complete" a message pops up stating that it has been timed-outed and to try again later. This is the 5th time i've tried. And i am getting very annoyed.

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

HT4623 my iphone wont accept my sim after the update , and so it don,t complet turning on

my iphone wont accept my sim after the update , and so it don,t complet turning on .

It hasnt been jailbroken has it?

I went to install a software update and it won't load completely

I went to install the new software update and it still hasn't fully loaded after 13 hours

Do Apple not realise that we do not all live in Silicon Valley or central NYC, London or Tokyo, so have to put up with download speeds measured in single digits?!
I get 2 mb download here in the countryside, but this new iMac doesn't like that. It stalls the download anytime a passing sparrow ***** and doesn't restart unless you enter your iTunes ID. So, despite leaving the iMac overnight to download this ridiculously large 5.2 gb OS update, I'm still only 1.2 gb through - 18 hours later.
First Apple product apart from the usual iPad and iPhone. Gorgeous computer but very, very unimpressed with the update system.

How do I get out of an iphone restoration loop, itunes keeps saying it has detected an iphone in restore mode and that it must check for software updates and reinstall the ios, it completes this process and then says: detected iphone in restore mode etc.,

Background: my iphone 3gs was running wonderfully - no issues at all, as normal.
I let the power run down to critical and got the empty battery screen - plugged it in and when it had enuf juice it displayed the cord-to-itunes-of-death-screen...
I had just backed up the previous to icloud so no worries... I just plugged in and thought ok this will just take a second...it completed the restore then said with a glazed amnesic font "Itunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, and has never seen or restored this iphone ever before, since this is a stranger iphone, itunes does not trust it and must call the ipolice to check for contraban in its orifices and cavities, you must restore"... kidding of course... but
OMG at home I did the whole restore process no less than 20 times while optimizing and accounting for different variables each time (restoring on a new system with a fresh OS, trying to restore and a mac, restoring then restarting empty cache, restart unistall itunes then restore restart restore, installing an older version of Itunes and restoring. going back to Vista and restoring), and every single time it would complete the check, the update/check, the ios reinstall, and then whatever else and say "complete"... and then no icon menu would appear for the device in itunes so unplug the phone and replug and get the whole "Itunes must render restore aid" message. SO I went to the genuis bar at my local iBoutique thrice - each time the bewildered but very courteous and knowledgable genuis wanted to keep trying ... since I had been on this treadmill for about two weeks I decided each time to respect my fellow appletonians and not suck up genius time... but I really want my old 3gs back... why - I like that it amazes the youth who occaisonal are puzzled by seeing something apple that they don't recognize and in wonder and amazement at its age they learn that even though its no longer invited to iOS family gatherings that it still can call home and ask why Apple waited so long when it was a kid to give it copy-paste ability like all the other kids, then ask for money for the shrink bill.. ... . . ..

Soooooooo.... You obviously need to restore the device
It seems that you have tried several options to restore it. What I would do is leave it plugged it and hold down the Home button AND the Power button together till you see the white apple appears. Then let go of the Power button but continue to hold the home button. You should get the message in iTunes again saying that the iPhone needs to be restored. Hit OK then RESTORE.
Hope this helps!!

Why does the advisory for downloading update 28.0 run but never contact the server or download anything for my Mac Firefox 27.0.1?

I'm running OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. All previous updates have downloaded and installed flawlessly, but every time it arrives -- and that's been several times so far -- this one has simply shown that blue-and-white striped busy bar, says it's contacting the server, and does nothing, no matter how long I leave it running.

That's weird but you should be able to manually install the update like this:
#Download a fresh copy from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ here] - direct link (https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-28.0-SSL&os=osx&lang=en-US)
#Install the new version. For details, see [[How to download and install Firefox on Mac]]
Usually this fixes this issue with automatic updates. There will be new version available starting next Tuesday. The automatic update will happen sometime over the following week or so.
Let me know how it goes.<br>
Thanks,<br>
Michael

I ran the update and then firefox stopped working completely ggot a message about .dll that won't work with windows. tried toreinstall new copy of latest but they won't.

I just ran the update to .4 as the dialog box said to. Now firefox won't work at all. Nothing happens I get a message about a .dll file that is incompatible. Tried to doanload a new copy but that doesn't get any further starting to extract files then it fails to finish. Any thing I can do or have I lost evrery thing including my bookmarked sites?

Thank you,
Morbus! It worked like you said. Anyway I think the problem starts with maybe needing to completely clean up my OS and drives as they keep "filling up" real fast - much faster than my usage. Uninstall wouldn't work so I just oened up programs and fond the .exe and then deleted it. Scary moment as I really have seen others so mess up everything doing this but download went well of new copy and yes I have all my bookmarks and settings. YAYS!! so thank you again. Also running so much faster and no glitches like tabs not working th way they should. In end I think I need to get an upgrade from Vista home basic. and just then add my files one at a time to see how all goes.

Security Update and Parallels running XP

Is anyone successfully able to use networking using Parallels running XP after installing the Aug 1 Security Update?
Things were working fine before I ran the update. Now my XP sessions don't establish a network connection at work.

I can connect just fine. I was having problems using Airport running XP before the update. Had something to do with my VM and Mac having too similar a name.

Windows Update in Endless Loop of 'Installing updates" and "Undoing changes" on New Windows 8.1 Pro Install

I am setting new Windows 8.1 Pro computers, and am installing Windows 8.1 Pro to bare drives. Everything goes fine until Windows Update starts installing updates, and then the computer goes for hours installing updates, and then "We
could not complete the updates Undoing changes". It's an endless loop. It seems to be the same 38 updates. This is a recent phenomenon. I have not run into this until the last week or two on several new computer installs.
Again these are brand new installs, so something is clearly wrong with the Windows updates.
If anyone can please tell me how to avoid this, it would be much appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
" This is a recent phenomenon"
Have you made any modifications to the machines ?
To resolve this issue ,running the built-in troubleshoot tool is a very good beginning .It will automatically diagnostic the windows update components and check the configurations for us .
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Fix problems with Windows Update
If there are antivirus software installed in these machines, please turn off them temporarily to have a check.
The command line included in the link as S.Sengupta posted is very useful and convenient to repair the windows corrupted files .We can have a try .
"sfc /scannow" ,"DISM.EXE /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth "
We also can check the windowsupdate.log for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
Run "windowsupdate.log"
If you have trouble in analyzing the log ,please upload them to the OneDrive and paste the link here .
Best regards

Received an iTunes update and then error message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. error 7 (Windows error 126) I also received and error message that MSVCR80.dll was not found. I read online to unintall all Apple programs and

Was not enough room to finish. I tried to uninstall all Apple programs and reinstall but I was asked to validate an unidentified publisher and don't have a clue what that is and could not remove programs. I am not good at fixing stuff on the computer and would like some help with this. I have had iTunes for a long time without issue.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

HT1338 ok so i know that my computer needs to be updated but I do the software update and it say there are no current updates I have not updated my computer in a long time

ok so I have not updated my computer in a long time and I go to the apple icon in the upper left hand corner of my computer and click on it and then click on softwear updates and it runs and says there are no updates.

You have to buy the next OS X version. Free updates are only available for the version you have. Since you're posting here, assume you want to upgrade to at least OS X 10.6? Or further?
Call the Apple online store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE, or you can also order online from them too. OS X 10.6 is only available on DVD, not download. Get it, install, do Software Updates until no more are available. Done. You probably already have at least 1GB of memory, and some spare disk space to install it. Of course, backup first.
If you want to upgrade to OS X 10.8, see these requirements to see if your system is able to. Note the minimum memory is 2GB, however, 4GB is recommended. Assuming your system can run Mountain Lion, you can upgrade directly from OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.8. You don't need to upgrade to OS X 10.7 as an interim step. OS X 10.8 is downloadable from the App store.
If you want to upgrade to OS X 10.7, after you upgrade to OS X 10.6, call the online Apple store again to purchase a download code, then download from the App store.

I am told to do an update, I click ok to update and it runs continously never completing
