I can't get past "connecting to the update server" when I try to update.

I have received the "update now" notice on my computer for several weeks, but when I click the go ahead button, I get as far as "connecting to the update server" but it never progresses (even after 1/2 hour of waiting). What shall I do?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I have windows 7 and Itunes 10. I the the error of Unable to connect to the CDDB server when I try to get tune names

I have windows 7 and Itunes 10. I the the error of Unable to connect to the CDDB server when I try to get tune names. I can still connect to iTunes store and I can still summit track names to the CDDB server. I just cant recive the names from the CD's. I read this problem on the community and I've checked that the proxy server from Lan is unchecked. I use a verizon wireless card for my internet if that matters.

Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

HT204266 25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her. I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update. How can I get her updated?

Try quitting the App Store:
Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
Try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

IOS updates - I keep getting the following message when I try to update my iPad2 - unable to install update, an error occurred installing IOS 8.1.2. How can I fix this?

IOS error messagge - I keep getting the following message when I try to update my iPad2 - unable to install update, an error occurred installing IOS 8.1.2. How can I fix this?

Which way are you trying to update? WiFi or iTunes? In either case, I would try restarting/rebooting all devices and then try again.
IF you are using iTunes, eject your iPad, quit iTunes, reboot your computer and reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. After the iPad starts up, connect to iTunes and try again. You may also want to disable your firewall and antivirus software when you try to update using iTunes. Sometimes those will interfere with the download.
If you are using WiFi, reset the iPad as described above and try again.
If WiFi updating will not work, try using iTunes, if iTunes will not work, try using WiFi.

ITunes tells me there is an update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be selected. Any thoughts? TIA

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

Unable to get a connection to the WebLogic server

After reinstalling WLS and SP it still didn't work, however, after a 3rd
reinstall in
the DEFAULT directory of c:\weblogic, it finally worked! It would NOT work
from c:\tools\weblogic. Who knows, maybe i didn't update a magic variable
somewhere.

Trying to use the statelessSession EJB example. When attempting to run
the client, I get the following message:
Beginning statelessSession.Client...
We were unable to get a connection to the WebLogic server at
t3://localhost:7001
Please make sure that the server is running.
The WebLogic server is definitely running, though. I am able to access
it using port 7001 from a browser. What could be wrong?

StatelessSession Example: We were unable to get a connection to the WebLogic server at t3://localhost:7001

I have seen other related posts on this site but really no answers, the users seem to be left hanging.
Anyway, I am trying to run the statelessSession example, with the WebLogic server running and listening
on port 7001 on the current machine (i.e. localhost).

Hello John,
When I first install "weblogic", I am successfully able to run the examples, but after some time which I completely forget how I make them run, I install it again and encounter the same problem as you.
After spending nearly a whole day on restarting computer, viewing ports etc. :) :(, I remember that I make weblogic run from the command line. First, in a console run setenv and startWebLogic tools which are located under weblogic directory and in an another console run setenv again(for possible errors, I want to be sure that it is correct again) and run your client as explained in the tutorials html pages.
As seen, in computer science, simple things, not hard things, always cause you to lose time :)))
Best regards

Sorry I gave this a 'this helped me' but after a long struggle I found some ticked box somewhere from some unauthorised chrome extension blaaa....... the link you gave was great, not only did it confirm all the bad things google is supposed to be up to it provided a better browser. Cheers man.
Anyone who find this; I disabled all extension in chrome. I then searched the word proxy in the settings section. A button came up, "change proxy settings" I clicked on it. Earlier it was greyed out as an extension was interefering.. It brought up a box with my own settings from my computer. Then I clicked LAN settings, then unchecked the 'Use a proxy server' button.
P.S. If you're using chrome, bail, and dowload Komodo Dragon. It's virtually identical, but you're not tracked, and you can use chrome extensions, and you can quickily transfer your chrome preferences into it.

Updated my iphone to 5.0. my itunes is also updated. When i try to update my apps on my iphone, i get the message "cannot open itunes store". So I cannot update my other apps on my phone. Any help?

My iphone nas numerous apps that need updated. My iphone and itunes are current with the latest updates.
When I try to update my apps I get the message" cannot connect ti itunes store". Any help ?

Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
All you need to do is delete those apps belonging to your wife.
Check Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > your own Apple ID here. If not, sign out here and sign in yours.

HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps.

I have apps that want to get updated but when i try to update them, the progress bar appears but also dissapeares again, the app isnt updated..

First reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the phone by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

I have a 2011 tahoe. My bluetooth functioned properly until I updated my iPhone. Now the iPhone connects to the Tahoe but when I try to call a number it does not work. Either it cals the number and has no outgoing or incoming sound or it just says it iis unable to complete the call.

I would check with the Auto dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check and see when the bluetooth software was last updated on your vehicle. With the vehicle being a 2011 and if the software has not been updated since the dropping of IOS 7 then obviously there will be software incompatibilities.
Good luck.

I can't get past "connecting to the update server" when I try to update.
