I cannot update, it just says its connecting to the server and does nothing but sit there.

(1) -Firefox keeps crashing for no reason. (2) -I am offered an update but when I say yes to update, the window shows that my MacBook Pro is trying to connect to the server. However, this goes on for hour after hour and never actually connects, or downloads the update. I have also a MacBook Air, which shows the same symptoms.

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

    Hi Alcrouchy,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are describing. If the screen appears to be sliding downward (leaving a blank portion at the top), you may be seeing the Reachability feature of iOS 8 on the iPhone 6/6 Plus. It is intended to make it easier to reach elements towards the top of the screen on the larger iPhones, and is activated by a double tap (not press) on the Home button. There is a bit more about it on this Design page about the iPhone 6:

    # Question
    I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I am never able to update and I believe FF is now up to 3.6.17.
    I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13.

    That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.

    Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf by the way it an iphone 4s and i have never encountered this problem before my dads iphone is the same after we updated to ios 8.1.1 but my mum hasnt updated yet and hers is fine

    If deleting then reinstalling the apps doesn't work, then contact the app developer for support.
    It sounds, though, like your internet connection is simply very slow.
    Try making a backup, then restoring the iPhone as new, and testing again.

  • Ipod touch wont turn on i tried restoring it but every time i do it just says its waiting for the ipod to respond. meanwhile my ipod is no longer a black screen but the apple logo with a loading bar underneath that after leaving for 8 hours hasnt moved.

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - Another USB port
    - Reboot the computer
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Not Charge

    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My contacts have gone missing and my mail account isn't connecting to the server and just says iCloud. Help!!

    My contacts have gone missing and I my mail isn't connecting to the server and saying 'no mail'.
    It is only showing my iCloud Mail box. What can I do to fix this?

    Sounds like you've lost internet connectivity.   Are you on cellular or wifi?

  • Wi-fi is connected but safari and mail say "not connected to the internet" and "check outgoing server"

    When I try to connect to safari, I receive the notice "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".  I get a similar message when i attempt to open any of my three mail accounts, which I have since deleted and tried to reset.  The message is something along the lines of "cannot open account - check outgoing mail server..."
    I am using the same wi-fi address I've always used.  The ipod shows that it is connected to the server and should not be having problems. 
    I've already done a network reset, twice.  Other computers in my house work just fine.  This was a spontaneous issue that began two days ago.  Again, it's affecting both mail and safari (that includes itunes store, maps, anything internet based, really - it says "cannot connect") 
    Thanks. 

    I am using a MacBook Air connected to my home WiFi and the connection is trouble free. When I try to connect my 3G iPhone to the same network it asks for my password to join and then shows the WiFi connection with full bars BUT when I launch Safari on the iPhone is says:
    "Cannot Open Page"
    "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"
    I went to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings ... and this did not help
    I went to Setting > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings ... and this did not help
    I checked the DNS settings under Wi-Fi > my home network > DHCP and the address there (192.168.10.1) matched the number on my MacBook Air under "Network Preferences"
    Safari on my iPhone was working flawlessly with Wi-Fi connection only 24 hours ago.

  • My phone just turned off and won't turn back on. I've read the posts saying to hold down the home and power button but my power button is broke. Any suggestions?

    My phone just turned off and won't turn back on. I've read the posts saying to hold down the home and power button but my power button is broke. Any suggestions?

    There is a thread or two about the home button and how to fix it at least temporally.  It sounds like some people have found it to be a rather permanent fix.  Do search on something like "Home button won't work".  It has something to do with putting the charging cable into the phone and applying a little extra pressure upward on the key.  Don't take my word for it though look for the thread/s.  You said originally that your "Power" button was broken and the thread I have seen is about the Home Button.
