I cannot update[SOLVED]

Hello,
I cannot update anymore. I don't know what happened. Nothing wrong with my connection.
This is what I get when trying to update:
[root@myhost mak]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca : Connection timed out
error: failed to update core (Connection timed out)

error: failed retrieving file 'community.db.tar.gz' from mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca : Connection timed out
error: failed to update community (Connection timed out)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
[root@myhost mak]#
Any idea what's going on?

I enabled usa servers that work but after each download pacman starts searching canadian servers and it goes on for ever. It takes five minutes just to download two small packages this way.
Here is the idea what I mean.

Are you trying to restore via itunes or icloud? Which ever one you're doing, try the other.
Its most important to make sure itunes is updated, any security software is disabled, and to try another usb port/cord (if using itunes on a computer)

After updating itunes three (3) days ago - itunes close shortly after starting with the message "a problem occured and cannot be solved, please close application" - Platform: WIN7 - iTunes 11.2.9.115

Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Hey guys i cannot update apps in my iphone 4s please help me???

Hey help me to solve the problem with iphone 4s . I cannot update apps

We're not mind readers here, so tell us what happens when you try and maybe someone can help.

Months later and I still cannot update to IOS 5.1!!!

You name it, Ive tried it. Done all the different trouble shooting bits and bobs, ie uninstalled security, itunes reinstalled ,disabled apple mobile, used a different pc, etc yet still i cannot update my ipad?
I even ventured to my local Apple store and the assistant had the same problem and couldn't help me either!
Is it only my Ipad having this problem? Why can't the Apple people see this device either??
Apart from throwing the thing in the bin does anyone else have any suggestions of what I can do that might work please?
Hoping someone will suggest something that I haven't already tried and will work.
Thanks in hopeful anticipation but i'm not holding my breath........!
Thank you..
Below I have pasted the last thing I tried that still didnt work...
From the Start menu, click All Programs and click Accessories.
Click Run. A Run window (command prompt) appears.
Type msconfig in the Open field and click OK.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. The System Configuration Utility opens.
Click the General tab.
Select the "Selective Startup" option.
Deselect the "Load Startup Items" checkbox.
Note: This step requires disabling third-party System Services and Startup Items, which can prevent some software or OEM hardware on your computer from working correctly. For example, this can affect the CD/DVD control buttons on portable computers or prevent wireless keyboards and mice from functioning. This is only required during troubleshooting to help isolate third-party conflicts with Apple software.
Click the Startup tab.
Select the "iTunes" and "QuickTime" checkboxes in the list.
Click the Services tab.
Make sure that "Hide All Microsoft Services" is selected.
Click Disable All.
Note: If you are troubleshooting an issue related to iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, select the Apple Mobile Device checkbox.
Click OK.
Click Restart. After restarting (and logging in to Windows), a message may appear stating that Windows has blocked startup programs and indicates the Blocked startup programs icon in the notification area (far right) of the taskbar. Click the message.
Click the Blocked startup programs icon, select Run blocked program and select System Configuration Utility.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. A window appears confirming that "You have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows starts." Click OK. The System Configuration Utility appears. Do not click OK here as this will prompt you to restart again. First try to reproduce the issue you were having.
If following these steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one or a few at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict. You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to recur.
Additional Information
If the issue is still occurring with Selective Startup mode, third-party security software may still be operating regardless of the state of Msconfig. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I had an unauthorized purchase on my old apple ID so I created a new one since the old one had been deactivated and now I cannot update any of my apps, I have read that the apps will be tied to the old account but I do not want to delete/lose their data

I had an unauthorized purchase on my old apple ID so I created a new one since the old one had been deactivated and now I cannot update any of my apps, I have read that the apps will be tied to the old account but since the old one was deactivated I cant update them and I do not want to delete/lose their data, re download, and start all over again. Is there anyway to go around this issue?
thanks

Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.

Security code is invalid. - Cannot Update or Purchase Apps

Same issue as so many others. Again (this happened before but all I had to do was renter my credit card info). I was able to delete account and re-enter in both iTunes or online and it worked but not this time. Either the recent Safari update, iTunes update or iOS 4 killed the ability to use my nextwave Titanium Pre-paid credit card which I was using for over a year and a half with no problem. I was shipped a new card a few months ago, but up until yesterday, it was working absolutely fine for updates and purchases on the iTunes Music Store in Canada, even with a new security code. As it stands I can't update any of my apps now and no changing of the credit card through either iTunes, Apple.ca, or the iPhone seems to allow my security code.
After speaking with Apple Canada Tech this morning, it appears to be an issue with prepaid cards. However, I do not use another credit card, and it has worked just fine prior to updates. I shouldn't have to pick up a prepaid iTunes card just to perform updates on my apps, especially when all was fine prior to the iTunes, iOS, or Safari updates. Easily 3 hours wasted trying to get this resolved so far.
Incredibly frustrating especially to a long-time Apple product user (over 20 years). I'm going to stop trusting updates again and hold off doing any since there never seems to be enough people/time allocated to the bug testing departments to fix these issues. Please Apple, let's get these things fixed before the product's release. You're killing the excitement of new releases and updates again.
Also: when the iPhone brings up the first dialog box that says you must tap 'OK' to sign in, and the dialog button actually says 'Continue', perhaps they should be the same word to show some consistency.

Just thought I'd try reentering my prepaid credit card info again using all of the various ways (iTunes, Apple.ca/Store, iPhone, and MobileMe) and of course nothing worked. Still an invalid security code or even invalid number. Of course, no response from Apple on here and the phone support tells me to try a pre-paid iTunes card. Isn't that tantamount to bait-and-switch when my original credit card worked in the first place? And what if I don't have a budget for that?
It's clear that these credit card issues are affecting a large number of users as Google searches turn up plenty of forum postings about these topics, not only on Apple's boards but other web forums. If there was at least some acknowledgment of the problems and an attempt to fix them, or some kind of iTunes store credit given in the meantime, it would go a long way to building goodwill among your client base.
As an Apple user of over 20 years, I have never seen as many bugs as I have in the last few years. In my humble opinion, while these forums are an excellent start, clearly they are not monitored enough and there is not enough done to correct these problems.
My iPhone 3G is now not only running incredibly slow thanks to iOS 4, but I still cannot update apps - even the free ones - which may solve some of the slow software issues and crashes. Sure, purchasing can be done with a prepaid iTunes card, but that's a practice one shouldn't have to resort to when your original card worked in the first place.
Very frustrated with this great company. You are capable of much better.

Cannot update 6th gen iPod nano.

Hi all,
I am trying to update music and software but I get the following message .... "The iPod ....... cannot update because it contains files that are in use by another application".
I have done a couple of resets and have tried the restore in iTunes a few times - both give the same message.
It has only ever been plugged into my mac. The problem occured before upgrading to Lion and I had hoped that this would have been solved with the upgrade, but no such luck.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Steve

I don't think so, how can I check this please?
Thanks for your answer though - very much appreciated.

Need Adobe help to solve this. My own searches in Forums and Google all have failed.

It is not an Adobe problem. You have a OS permissions problem. You can try to correct this by using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. It is in the First Aid area of Disk Utility.

Bought used macbook pro, cannot update.

I bought a used macbook pro but I can't update. It says I have 2 updates. When I try to update, I ckick update and the original owner's email address pops up but will not let me change to my email address and password. I tried downloading os x mavericks. It took 2 hours to download. I restarted the computer and the original owner's name is still popping up asking for their password. HELP! I have tried everything

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot remove the update notification. The only solution would be to remove those apps and do not install them anymore unless you buy them with your Apple ID.
If the apps you cannot update are iPhoto, iMovie and/or GarageBand, you should know that the first owner did not do things properly, because that could be solved simply by deauthorizing your Mac from the old owner's Apple ID. After doing that, you would be able to register the apps with your Apple ID and update them free of charge. If this is your case, contact with the old owner and tell him/her to contact with Apple to deauthorize the Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If the apps that require the update are other ones, remove them. You are not allowed to run them, so if you want to run them, buy them with your Apple ID

Cannot update my snow leopard

in the course of the periodic updates appeared an RAW update, which I could not install - missing signature- I installed an online RAW. Now I cannot update JAVA version 2 and Safari 5.
I do not know how to resintall the faulty RAW update.
Does my install Snow Leopard CD help to solve the situation.
<Edited by Host>

My own update of the periodic Snow Leopard update blocks a regular precedure. I personally cannot use raw data as my camera supplies me with .jpg pictures.
Remains my problem that I would like to eliminate the faulty updates. This may allow access to normal updates of my Snow Leopard. How can I delete these raw updates?
Reloading my laptop with the original Snow Leopard DVD showed no result.
Is it a solution to restart my system with the original Snow Leopard DVD?
I am running backups with my time capsule and hope to restart my full system that way.
Sorry to bother an experienced user.
