I can't download the 3.6 update to my iMac.Download just keeps gong & going.....

I keep getting a box on my new iMac saying there is a new version of Firefox. I click the download button and the downloading update box appears. The twirling pole just keeps going around and around. Eventually I just give up. I checked and I have version 3.6.12 on my computer right now

Hi mesuno.  I can't download the update either.  When I click on "Update" I see the download progress bar for only a fraction of a second.  Then I get a message in the "updates installed" area saying that the update has been installed.  Then the Security Update notice returns and so does the "Update" button.  Then I press "Update" again and the same thing happens.  I can do this ad infinitum.
The system seems to be confused.  I have several entries in the "installed" area saying that it has been installed, but still the "Update" button persists.  When I check with "Sytem information" there is no record of the installation.
Is there something wrong with the App Store app, or does anyone else have a better idea?

  • How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Hello Arthur,
    Thank you for the reply.
    You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
    The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
    Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and  i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD ,  pen and paper and CDs .
    Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
    I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
    Thanks

    Hello! So I have a iPod 5th generation, and I just had a recent update, it was for iOS 6.1.3, and now for some reason, I can't get the iOS 7 update. Could anyone help me?

    Apple's servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
    Be patient and try again later.

  • Can I uninstall the iso 6 update?

    My photos transferred to my iPad 2 from iTunes no longer appear on the iPad in order. I carefully name them so they will appear in the order I need and I place them in a specific folder on my PC and select "sync photos from selected folder" as I always have in the past. Now the photos appear TOTALLY RANDOMLY on the iPad. I currently have 1,639 photos in the folder and they previously transferred exactly in the order I sorted them into. This seems to be yet another "fix" in the iso update recently performed (which I wish I could undo).(1) can I uninstall the iso 6 update?
    (2) if not how do I get the photos to transfer in the order they are in on my chosen folder on my PC?

    if not how do I get the photos to transfer in the order they are in on my chosen folder on my PC?
    You have to tweak it. Or tweak your photos anyway. I found a free program called 'file date changer' and it allows you to take a folder full of files, alter the date on them which will then allow you to rearrange them on the iPad.
    For example, in my case, I had a series of video files named sequentially, SAN_1294, SAN_1295 etc. But the dates were different so when I tried to import them they came in all jumbled. So if I used this program, I could change the date and time on all the files to be the same, so the organization of them then defaulted to alphabetical so they went back in the order I wanted them to be.
    I don't have the download link for it, but I know i got it off cnet or some such other reputable download site, so just google and you should find it.
    It'll take you trial and error to play but might help you.
